Those who confess not and repent not

So a couple verses regarding what happens to church members who don't confess and repent - D.C. 64:

12And him that ^arepenteth not of his sins, and ^bconfesseth them not, ye shall bring before the ^cchurch, and do with him as the^dscripture saith unto you, either by commandment or by revelation.

13And this ye shall do that God may be glorified—not because ye forgive not, having not compassion, but that ye may be justified in the eyes of the law, that ye may not ^aoffend him who is your lawgiver—

So it sounds like we have to meet two requirements when considering what happens to those who don't repent of their sins (and violate larger commandments - I mean, we all sin.) We need to forgive them and love them and have compassion on them (verse 13), but we also need to show God, our lawgiver, that we pay attention to his rules and commands. When we enforce his rules, that shows we care about his rules.

Not to focus too much on the Brandon Davies issue, but fornication/adultery is a rule that clearly most people don't concern themselves with, and it's important for us to show God we believe Him when he says it is a terrible sin. That's another core piece of the reason for suspending someone for that sin. It's been made clear to us that God says it's a grave error, and we will try to live as if that's true.
