I need to find a bible verse about how if a conflict arises with someone, you are too go to them, and try to resolve it, but if it doesn't work, you are to go to go to another christian, and ask them to go with you to resolve it. I don't know exactly how it goes, but i need to find the verse!

    Matthew 18:15 "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that 'BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY WORD MAY BE ESTABLISHED.' 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

    Matthew 18: 15 - 17:

    Moreover, if your brother commits a sin, go lay bare his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.  But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two more, in order that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter may be established. If he does not listen to them, speak to the congregation. If he does not listen even to the congregation, let him be to you just as a man of the nations and as a tax collect.

    I used to be one of Jehovah's Witlessness and that's how I first came to learn this scripture, however in this false religious cult, if you did bear your sin with your brother/sister and they didn't straighten out so you went to the elders, then I found that most often the bad person would lie. When they lied the elders imposed a 2-Witness rule which meant if there was no other person around and someone lied, they couldn't and would not take any action.

    I mean if there is a wolf in the congregation who is not doing the will of God and is persecuting his/her brother/sister in the congregation and you tell on them, they will lie and nothing will be resolved. I left the Witlessness partly because of this hypocrisy and ungodly 2-Witness rule. I have had to resort to the courts just as the above scriptures say to. I have had to treat them (the evil ones in my old congregation) just as I would the tax man. They're hypocrites.

    Matt 18

    15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

    16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

    17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
