Sins of the Congregation

I found that the sins of the congregation are very interesting in how it applies to a church congregation and to an individual.  The individual will sin, but we have a High Priest to plead our case to the Father and our individual sins will be forgiven.  Whereas, a congregation will sin according to Lev 4, unaware of the matter, they are guilty, but their sin can be forgiven as a group. 

What happens is that the liberal churches are not teaching the Word of God to the congregation and Paul in 1 Cor 5 is very strong on what we are to do.  Paul said, “must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler.”  Paul also said, "Bad Company corrupts good character" in 1 Cor 15.  Prov 24 tells us to not desire wicked men company.  John tells us from Rev 18, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins.”  These words from the scripture say we are not to stay in a liberal church or organization or a church that is not teaching the Word of the scriptures.   

How can we witness to these organizations when we know that bad company corrupts good character.  Maybe, we have the character as Christians, but what about our children being taught wrong things from the scriptures.  Yes, we are to come out of the sinful world so we do not share in her sins.  All I know that by the grace of God we are what we are.  Follow the Way of Life that our Lord, Jesus taught and lived and to Love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind and with all our strength.' We are to Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

(Lev 4:13 NIV)  "'If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord's commands, even though the community is unaware of the matter, they are guilty.

(1 Cor 5:11 NIV)  But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

(1 Cor 15:33 NIV)  Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character."

(Prov 24:1 NIV)  Do not envy wicked men, do not desire their company;

(Rev 18:4-5 NIV)  Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; {5} for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
