BREAKING FELLOWSHIP
(2Thess 3:4) And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye
both do and will do the things which we command you.
(2Thess 3:6) Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh
disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
(2Thess 3:11) For we hear that there are some which walk among you
disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
(2Thess 3:14) 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.
(2Thess 3:15) Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a
brother.
(Eph 5:10-16) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them.
12) For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them
in secret.
13) But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for
whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.
15) See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16) Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
(Rom 16:17) Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause
divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and
avoid them.
(Titus 3:10-11) A man that is an heretick after the first and second
admonition reject;
11) Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being
condemned of himself.
(Gal 5:7) Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the
truth?
(Gal 5:12) I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
(Gal 5:14) For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself.
(Lev 19:17-18) Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt
in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
18) Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy
people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
Hate= ignore sin, Love= rebuke sin
(Gal 5:14) For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself.
(2Tim 2:20-21) But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and
of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to
dishonour.
21) If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto
honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every
good work.
(2Tim 2:24-26) And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle
unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25) In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26) And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.
(Rom 9:21-22) Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump
to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22) What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known,
endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23) And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of
mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
(1Cor 5:4) In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered
together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5) To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that
the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6) Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the
whole lump?
7) Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye
are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
(1Cor 5:11) But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any
man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a
railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12) For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye
judge them that are within?
13) But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from
among yourselves that wicked person.
(1Tim 1:20) Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have
delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
(2Tim 2:16-18) But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase
unto more ungodliness.
17) And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and
Philetus;
18) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is
past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
(2Tim 4:4) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned unto fables.
(2Tim 4:14) Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward
him according to his works:
(John 8:41-45) Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We
be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42) Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I
proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent
me.
43) Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear
my word.
44) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because
there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for
he is a liar, and the father of it.
45) And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
(1John 3:10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of
the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that
loveth not his brother.
(1John 3:11-) For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning,
that we should love one another.
12) Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And
wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's
righteous.
13) Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love
the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in dzeath.
15) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no
murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

HOW DOES THE BIBLE SAY TO RESOLVE CONFLICT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE?
Matthew 18:15-18
1. Go talk to that person one on one. If that doesn’t work:
2. Take one or two witnesses. If that doesn’t work:
3. Take it before the Church body. If that doesn’t work:
4. Separate fellowship with this person.
