God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The Purposes of Church Discipline: 1. To bring glory to God and enhance the testimony of the flock. 2. To restore, heal, and build up sinning believers (Matt. 18:15; 2 Thes. 3:14-15; Heb. 12:10-13; Gal. 6:1-2; Jam. 5:20). 3. To produce a healthy faith, one sound in doctrine (Tit. 1:13; 1 Tim. 1:19-20). 4. To win a soul to Christ, if the sinning person is only a professing Christian (2 Tim. 2:24-26). 5. To silence false teachers and their influence in the church (Tit. 1:10-11). 6. To set an example for the rest of the body and promote godly fear (1 Tim. 5:20). 7. To protect the church against the destructive consequences that occur when churches fail to carry out church discipline.

The Bible does not deal specifically with abortion. For that matter, it does not deal specifically with infanticide, the killing of babies. Nor does it talk about parricide, fratricide, uxoricide (killing of one's wife), nor genocide (the killing of a whole race). Examples of such crimes are mentioned, but not singled out for special treatment. In fact, the Bible does not even discuss suicide (self-killing). There are specific provisions against homicide – the deliberate taking of human life (“killing” or “slaying” is the usual expression). The Bible prohibits the taking of innocent human life. If the developing fetus is shown to be a human being, then we do not need a specific commandment against feticide (abortion) any more than we need something specific against uxoricide (wife-killing). The general commandment against killing covers both.
