Bible Note: JMa, I believe that this passage,like all passages, is not ambiguous, but very clear. This is a warning of the results of being offensive towards a "brother". Offending someone creates a gulf which is very difficult to cross. Creating an offensive atmosphere with our brothers and sisters makes it that much more difficult to reach them in their time of need. Peter tells us not to exchange .."railing for railing..", (1 Peter 3:9). This makes communication, help, reaching, very difficult...God Bless..believer57 |
