Does the severing of social company apply to family?

Local church

I Corinthians 5:1-13

I Corinthians 5:10-17 - “people of the world” vs. “any so-called brother”

II Thessalonians 3:5-14

II Thessalonians 3:8-11 - “among you”

II Thessalonians 3:12-14 - “do not associate with him”

Family?

I Corinthians 5:11 - ”any so-called brother”

II Thessalonians 3:6 - ”every brother”

II Thessalonians 3:14 - ”anyone”

We must be careful not to bind God’s law further than He intended.

Sabbath

Exodus 20:8-11

We read of some kinds of law that would definitely violate the Sabbath day law. Jeremiah 17:21-22

We read of some kinds of work to which the Sabbath law did not apply. II Kings 11:5

But what about everything else? You would have to use your best judgment.

What about pulling an animal from a pit? Matthew 12:10-12

Would it have been okay for any Jews to forbid others from pulling their sheep out of a pit on Sabbath days, or to enforce the death penalty upon those who did?

Luke 13:15

Does this mean we can make our own exceptions to God’s law?

Absolutely not!

I Corinthians 7:1 - What about doctors and nurses? This is not the kind of touch this verse is referring to.

I Timothy 2:9 - What about a woman who goes in for a medical exam?

How far did God intend us to apply the disassociation command of I Corinthians 5?

Family is not specified. And further, I cannot say with finality that family is necessarily implied.

I know that in some cases, it would not apply to family.

Warnings

Let’s maintain the proper attitude toward sin.

Recognize disassociation as a method of helping.
