Sure I would if I were a spiritually immature legalist that did not understand the love of God but only understood his own personal opinions. This is a non-issue in the grand scheme of things. I have a man saved this spring out of a life of drugs and homosexuality that takes far more precidence over these little non-issues. In fact this same man is being drawn by his family away from the church because he has gotten saved enough to be okay to be around again.

In fact, when you think about it, any sin we commit, we yoke ourselves together with unbelievers because they are creatures of sin and children of Satan. Since we are Children of the LIght, when we sin we voluntarily identify with the children of Satan. We become bound together in consequences (earthly only) with the unsaved and are therefore yoked together with them because of our sin.

Ultimately it sounds as if you are trying to justify some kind of action or inaction. Live for God, stay focused on Him, live our His purpose for your life and leave the rest to the Holy Spirit.

Maybe this whole line of thought in my post is out there maybe not. I welcome the response.

Well for the record, I don't believe in church discipline regarding this matter so we agree on this matter. In fact, we probably agree concerning the majority of your post except your first conclusion. I can't agree with that blanket statement, and that's fine.
