Matthew 18 vs 15-20 (If your brother sins against you)

"If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault,
just between the two of you.
If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
But if he will not listen
take one or two others along so that 'every matter
may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses
If he refuses to listen to them tell it to the church
and if he refuses to listen even to the church
treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector

I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven
and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven

Again I tell you that if two of you on earth agree
about anything you ask for it will be done for you
by my Father in heaven
For where two or three come together in my name
there am I with them

About the big crash at the end......
I have 6 kids, and all but 1 of them went with mom to the Denton library for a little while this evening. I had the remaining one playing a game at the lego site in the house, thinking maybe, just maybe I would get enough silence to do a quick recording......but it was not to be.....the crash was our porch door being opened and slammed shut by the 6 year old checking up on dad. Ah well!

@kelly5acuna It didn't corrupt Jesus's character. hmm, maybe we need to be more like Christ and more concerned with infecting them with goodness and truth and love and less worried about them infecting us. God is bigger than all the devils in hell and all the pagans on Earth.

This was very peaceful to me.

I guess we still love pagans, treat them with love, but don't be close associates with them. Because bad company corrupts good character.
