Obviously, you are quite adept at creating straw men and then knocking them down, instead of dealing with what people actually post.

Church buildings
And many other things.
And the only way that I see “to come out of her” is to start Home Churches by those that are completely dedicated to God.
Yet, if we know better.
This isn't just a suggestion, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” I believe that we should forsake all the things that SHE brought in, and go strictly by the Bible.

You were saying?

This was the original post. I'm not making some straw man. I was dealing what what the post stated. "be not partakers of her sins...forsake all the things that 'she' brought in (church buildings is mentioned as one of those things)."

You're completely ignoring (even with your response above) verses 15-18 and
Deuteronomy 19 to make your points. Your points are incorrect when placed into the frame of the full passage of
Matthew 18:15-22 and
Deuteronomy 19.

Answer this: Is
Matthew 18:15-22 about how to deal with trespass and sin, or is it about how many people God is with? 15-22 is the context. You cannot separate 15-18 from 19-22. They are inseparable.
