HALF-REPENTENCE HERETICS AND THE APOSTASY
(Problems in the church may
require excommunication of heretics!)
The church must seek purity and sobriety. There are government laws to penalize drug sales and abuse. There are laws against drunkenness. However, there is not sufficient teaching or enforcement against fornication. A drunk can be locked up and fined, but a woman having sex as a remarried woman in the home of an adulterer may be not even be bothered. Similarly, a man living with an unclean woman is not recognized as promoting or enabling uncleanness. Nevertheless, even though general society overlooks these type of things, Christians must look unto God's law for direction.
Below is a video, “Divorce, Remarriage, Adultery and the Gospel in Short”, by the seemingly uncleanliness-blind, Linkowski Family. They are an excommunicated couple struggling with recognizing the difference between the concepts of forgiveness, and implementing divorce as a measure to guard purity of the remainder of the family due to the defilement of a wife. This is a problem in the church today. Righteous church members want and can invite others to share their religious views so as to develop and grow, but they can't accept heresy and living in uncleanness as a resolve for a former sexual sin of a woman. The marriage institution must be kept clean. Family separation and singleness recovery must be taught in such cases of female defilement. The righteous members must not allow themselves to be perverted or defiled by the erring, and should not have communion with such that teach or enable uncleanness. A little leaven leavens the whole. Beware!
A great biblical example of active, righteous judgment was exemplified in the situation of Joseph and Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ. Did you ever wonder why the Scripture says Joseph was "righteous" as to thinking about putting Mary away (divorcing)? (Mt. 1.19) Even though he was learned of the law, the angel of the Lord corrected his premeditative decision. However, his intentions were righteous. Similarly, Christians make righteous judgment (1 Cor. 6:2-4), and must put evil away from themselves. The mother Mary was not a woman of fornication, and was excused. By the way, marriage is based on chastity (sexual cleanliness), not a woman's folly, which is physical (defiling) and far more repercussive than merely being lusted upon by a man. Following the righteousness of the law and making a decision for spiritual cleanliness even at the cost of separation from a defiled spouse is not violating Jesus' promotion of love unto others. In refute of Mr. Linkowski (and also Tamara), Christians should never “display” the acceptance of living with an unclean woman or the promotion of passive nakedness and abomination in their lives.

Community farms would be a good place for couples coming to Christ so as they could necessarily separate but still help provide for one another and children.
