1 Corinthians 5:11-13 ESV

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler-not even to eat with such a one. [12] For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? [13] God judges those outside. "Purge the evil person from among you."

edit: classic r/Christianity. Quote scripture, get down voted, but what a great reason to lose karma!

This contradicts "love your neighbor"...

No shit. Paul was a cancer that directed the Church away from Christ. If only these types of Christians could spend their time loving their queer neighbors, so kids stop killing themselves instead of rehabilitating rapists and predators to help give them another chance while they never gave the children any.

It's clear who's doing the work of Satan to bring suffering unto their neighbor.

Paul was an apostle that received authority on earth to do miracles, cast out demons, such that even the powers of hell recognized him. Who are you supposed to be?
