Dear Atterbury, I was hoping you'd come out of John 14 and 15 with about 30 attributes. The fruit of the Spirit has nothing to do with the world's definition of these things. For example, sometimes the most loving thing we can do for people is to rebuke, correct, and retrain. Iron sharpens iron. It is not all warm and fuzzy. Applying the truth to a situation can be highly painful. Nevertheless, failing to correct ungodly behavior is not a matter of love, but a matter of hatred (e.g., Proverbs 13:24).

I found something interesting and scary in the Bible. In James 4, it says Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgement on it. There is only one lawgiver and judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you-who are you to judge your neighbor. Scary stuff. | ||||||

Hi, Atterbury... Again, careful of adopting worldly definitions to terms. Find out what is the biblical definition of judging. Also, if you are concerned that someone is being slandered, then show kindness to the people involved by pointing it out -- with proof -- so that the truth can be known. Yes, we deal with a Lord who will not be trifled with. Let us seek to honor Him fully in all we do and say, but also to honor Him not neglecting anything He says. If you speak peace and safety, in God's name, when it is not from the Lord, then you do so at your own peril (Jeremiah 23:10-32). In Him, Doc |
