And that means removing from the community "every brother that walketh
disorderly", or who don't follow God's Commandments, doesn't it?

This makes no sense.  Of course nobody's afraid of a "bafoon".  This is a
reference to those in power who pretend to follow God's Commandments but
don't.  This instruction is to judge even them, so it actually excludes
"bafoons".

Of course.

But don't live with them.

Don't let them into your community.  Don't subsidize them.  Don't put them
in positions of power or authority.

Which appears absolutely no place in the Holy Bible.

Here you are quoting "kpcollins"'s which have no basis in the Holy Bible,
and you claim that I "selected incompletely"?

Let's get back to the actual Word:

Luke 6:29  To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other;
and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also.

There's a time and a place for this, but you can't ignore the responsibility
to FIRST remove "those who walketh disorderly", can you?

You can't invite the enemy into your community, and then expect everyone to
"offer also the other" if the enemy is intent on destroying the community,
can you?

You need to put this in context.
