Great point! And there is even scripture that teaches the very same thing!
Gal 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are
spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of
meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2Ti 2:24 And the servant of the Lord
must not strive; but be
gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,
2Ti 2:25 In
meekness instructing those that
oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the
acknowledging of the truth;
Yet a couple more scriptures conveniently overlooked by many of the finger pointers. I leads one to speculate on them a little:
1. If they were were really after the propagation of truth, might they actually follow these scriptures?
2. Perhaps truth is not what is important, but is is rather pride. I am right, you are wrong. My identity and self esteem is not tied up in scripture but in my traditions.
Just some thoughts.
