H0w important do you think the delivery is?
Let me put my question this way: when exposing false doctrine or correcting errors, do you think that the way we do these things is also important?
We all know how important it is to stand for the Truth in Christ. "Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints." Jude 1:3
But also "If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2
So how do we correct error in the spirit of love? Do you think that the delivery of the correction is just as important as correcting (or exposing false doctrine) is itself? I find myself thinking on this a lot lately...
