<div>How can a Protestant church excommunicate a Christian man whose only sin is--not</div> <div>upholding "their" membership vows? I thought that Christ said you weren't to take</div> <div>vows. Let your yes be a yes and your no be a no. It's not Kirker-ish, but it is biblical.</div> <div>Shouldn't they stick to the Bible?</div> <div> </div> <div>So, Mr. Metzler, what are they going to do to you if you still want to go to church? </div> <div>Have two NSA boys bounce you out? And will they expect money from you, or will</div> <div>you be excluded from tithing?</div> <div> </div> <div>What is this Mother Kirk their letter states? I swear to goodness I thought I was </div> <div>reading a Star Trek fanfiction piece for a minute.</div> <div> </div> <div>As a Christian belief, other Christians are to try and restore the brethren, not place the</div> <div> responsibility to formulate accusations on the person
who's "confused." If you know</div> <div> there is discord, fix it. Don't excommunicate the person before he has a chance to </div> <div>come to you. Be a man, people! Don't hide behind the skirts of your friends, Mr. </div> <div>Doug Wilson.</div> <div> </div> <div>"We're, now, merely freeing you from our supposed "tyranny."" That's appropriate.</div> <div>Sarcasm in an excommunication letter.</div> <div> </div> <div>What is a member in good standing to them? Would they really be writing a letter</div> <div>of "excommunication" to someone who was in "good standing" with them?</div> <div> </div> <div>And I thought the Catholic Pope was the one who excommunicated. Just what are</div> <div>you trying to confirm to us, Doug?</div> <div> </div> <div>--Corbin</div><p>
