Correction in the Church

2 Thessalonians 3:14 (KJV)

And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

The church has a duty and command to help administrate Discipline…

And yet…

2 Thessalonians 3:15

15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but (admonish) him as a brother.

(Admonish) means to  Reprimand…

Correction is not meant as a final judgment!

But rather as a means to correct inappropriate behavior!

But it should be Administered regardless of sympathies by the Entire Assembly…

Thus the healing process becomes universal!

For Both the Individual and the  spirit of the Church!
