Two or Three Witnesses New Testament References Matthew 18:16 2 Corinthians 13:1 1 Timothy 5:19 Hebrews 10:28 A Fundamental Principle found in Deut 19:15 Original readers (NT) grounded in Law of Moses

Deut 19:15 One witness shall not rise against What If one rises? = sin Witness = spectator Not Witness: John 5:31, 8:13 What If one rises? = sin Covers “any iniquity or any sin” Deut. 17:6 he shall not …of one witness. Num. 35:30 one witness not sufficient

“Crime and Punishment” Punishment not carried out less than 3 persons 1 Timothy 5:19 Reject Accusation Witnesses must be examined Deut 19:16-18. False Punished Mark 14:56 testimony must agree Crime must be “established”

Pitfalls - Misconceptions Accusation requires the hearer(s) to find witnesses Accusation = established truth Proverbs 18:8 The words of a talebearer… Proverbs 18:17 The first one to plead … The nature of sin determines the actions required – “We gotta do something”

Matt 18: 15-17 Basic Outline/Law Proper Application Matt 18: 15-17 Basic Outline/Law tell him his fault between you and him alone… Acts 18:24-27 Approved Example they took him aside…. The offender must be given the opportunity to make correction(s) with as little embarrassment as possible.

Matt 18:15 "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If first “telling” is to anyone other than offending brother = Sin No doubt about this sin Must deal with it. Deut 19:18-19 Two offenses now exist

Matt 18:15 Options 1 Cor 6:4-7 Take wrong Proverbs 17:9 Cover James 5:20 Personal turning 1 Peter 4:8 Fervent Love

Matt 18:16 Matt 18:16 …take with you Tell one or two more…. If second “Telling”- not offender and witnesses = sin The primary purpose – “establish” The order: before telling church

Satan’s Snares – The Hearer Proverbs 18:8 potential Talebearer Proverbs 18:13, 17 Jump to a conclusion Proverbs 17:9 “…But he who repeats a matter separates friends. Those told are placed in harm’s way

Difficulties: Deuteronomy 17:8 Too hard for you to judge Degrees of guilt for bloodshed One judgment or another One punishment or another Matters of controversy within your gates Go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses

Deut. 1:17 Requirements You shall…. Not show partiality Hear the small and the great Not be afraid…man's For the judgment is God's Bring to me the hard cases Consider only “established” matters

Two or Three Witnesses The right of the accused is to be convicted at the mouth of two or three “witnesses”. It is the right of the offender to resolve a matter with a minimum of embarrassment Recognize Satan’s Snares Recognize the Difficulties Follow the Requirements The Word of the Lord Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
