Do you show your brothers and sisters love and kindness as commanded, even when they're wrong?

[Patrick1966]

As for me, not always, but I'm working on it!

My brothers and sisters, as long as we believe in and FOLLOW the "Great Commandment", I think it won't make any difference to God if one's understanding of various doctrines is mistaken. God isn't going to ridicule their misunderstanding but he might send you and me to the "sauna" for a short stint for ridiculing their understanding.


Matthew 5:22
English Standard Version
22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother[a] will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell[c] of fire.

Let us be humble and loving ALWAYS. May God bless us ALL!

 

[Michiah-Imla]

I think it won't make any difference to God if one's understanding of various doctrines is mistaken.

“…rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith” (Titus 1:13)

their understanding.

Understanding what?

What don’t you understand about not offending man and God?

“Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.” (Isaiah 1:16-17)

What’s so hard to understand about scriptures like these?

The problem is that men occupy themselves with frivolous things in the scriptures and create their own obstacles…

It occurs to me that it serves no purpose to be disrespectful to those we disagree with. It only makes matters worse. Not for a second should we agree with them (if they are wrong), but we should always set the right example.

Insulting others for not agreeing with one's point of view is rooted in ego, arrogance, and vanity. It is not a Godly behavior.

At times the old man jumps out first and i may be sharp with them,agitated,disgusted,angry, etc.
But sometimes i am able to bite my tongue before blowing up. But in any event, i let them know im human.
Not like those who make out like they're pious and perfect.

 

[Windmillcharge]

Depe ds what they are being wrong about?
Following the wrong football team, voting for the wrong political, or believing some minor difference in theology, one agrees to differ.

But there beliefs are dangers, like actively supporting g black lives matter or gay rights while still claiming to be a Christian!

Then it is a time to sit down and talk seriously, calmly and as far S possible politely about these views.
Much of the time should be in listening, so you really understand what and why they believe and to hopefully counter their views.

Question: How can you be respecrful to someone if you don't agree with them?

By not insulting them.

 

[St. SteVen]

By not insulting them.

Exactly.
If our posture toward others is to seek to understand them,
rather than seek to correct them to our views, life is better for all.

Harmony is when two different ideas live together in peace.
Discordance is when they are in conflict.

 

[MatthewG]

I love to fight.


But when it comes to certain things about “beliefs” a person may have.


No sense in fighting.



Discussion and questions sure.


But i love to fight.

Humble and loving doesn't always mean soft and gentle.

As far as I'm concerned Christian love is all about my concern and commitment for your wellbeing, and if there is a hard truth you need to hear, I'd better be willing to say it.

People sometimes reject love as a motive for actions that seem harsh. But sometimes if we truly love, that's what has to be.

Much love!

Question: How can you be respecrful to someone if you don't agree with them?

One way is to take the time and effort to learn what another person thinks about something. To not criticize them even if you disagree.

Much love!

Perfect answer! I agree 100%.
