You missed the point. That is God unto men, not brother unto brother.But God does not always show mercy and love. To the obstinate He shows wrath.
Jeremias 29:18 And I will persecute them with the sword, and with famine, and with the pestilence: and I will give them up unto affliction to all the kingdoms of the earth: to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach to all the nations to which I have driven them out:"
And also to His children, He chastises.
Hebrews 12:11 Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield, to them that are exercised by it, the most peaceable fruit of justice.
Proverbs 3:12 For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth: and as a father in the son he pleaseth himself.
There is a correct way to rebuke a brother, but this man is worse than a lawyer.
