Repentance

When you have done something wrong, go first to God. Tell him what happened and honor him. Be filled with the holy Spirit and do what you know to be right. If you must go to a brother, do so one on one as Paul says for when you have been wronged so as to foster the correct repentance methods from the place of your brother whom you have wronged. Then, if that does not work, go to the community.

We must follow this in a court of law. Too many people go right to the community and skip God and a one-on-one with their fellow. Legalism and microregulation restrict the freedoms and individualism of us all and prevent us from becoming brothers. We are brothers of the same Father.
