A discussion at youth on this was triggered by David's animated views on it. There were disagreements and agreements.
What is your say on it?

Live In Relationships
1 corinthians chapter 5 vs 9-13
1 Corinthians chapter 5 vs 9-12
9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;
10 I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.
11But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.
12For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?
13But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves
We discussed this passage at youth this saturday. What is Paul trying to communicate to the church of corinthians through this passage and how does this passage apply to us today?
A discussion followed on judging others. This is a sensitive area and we need to approach it with caution and wisdom. We need God to give us the wisdom to discern.
Questions to ponder
1) How do you relaate with the outside world which is filled with immoral people?
2) How do you relate/approach people in church whom you know are upto these things?
