In the old testament in Leviticus chapter 19 God says, "Do not go about spreading slander among your people. Do not do anything that endangers your neighbors life. I am the Lord. Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share his guilt."
Again in the new testament in Luke 17:3 it says, "If your brothers sins rebuke him and if he repents forgive him. And also in 2 Thessalonians 3:14,15 "If anyone does not obey our instructions in this letter take special note of him. Do not associate with him in order that he many feel ashamed, yet do not regard him as an enemy but warn him as a brother.
Why all the scripture? Because I see a need. If you subscribe to the faith of Jesus Christ this is his way of dealing with the problem of your neighbor's sin. You rebuke him openly and frankly with the clear object of restoration.
You may not associate with him for a while, but he should know why, and that you love him and want him restored to you and God.
What is going on at this present time needs a massive overhaul. We should ask ourselves if I am a Christian, do I love Jesus enough to obey his commands regardless of the cost involved. who is my Lord?
