Subject: How Far Are We To Be Tolerant? |
Bible Note: Searcher I prefer to remain quiet actually and to continue to pray as I am not too sure that admonishing anyone is the right thing to do. I am not over anyone to be the one to be correcting them, we are brothers and sisters. I see what you mean about words in love and peace though. I think I have never seen yet in my 25 years as a believer that anyone was able to change just because their faults get pointed out to them. It takes the Holy Spirit to change a person, not just conviction, which is the most popular idea when wishing for someone to change. The Holy Spirit working from the inside of a believers heart to actually produce the good fruit. That takes prayer on the part of others who see the fault in another and might actually be more effective in bringing about a result. I have tried this at home, works every time :), takes a long time, sometimes years, but it works better than words, which can only convict. I was thinking as I chose the scriptures of how long a person should be waiting, how tolerant of other's faults, because of how judging others makes us not a doer of the law, but a judge of others, which God condemns. blessings abound, bowler |
