If any of you believe I believe something that is considered damnable to the soul of myself or of others, please bring it to my attention. You would be my friend if you came to me about it (Prov. 27:6).
NKJV
Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Be in mind that just because someone is wrong doesn’t mean they aren’t a seeker of truth or a heretic. Some people grow and understand at a faster rate than others, and sometimes it takes a while for an individual to understand where it *clicks* for them.
We should all (me included!!!) remember these verses. While it’s directed toward those who are having been taken captive by Satan to do his will (something I am not doing), we are to remember those qualities when dealing with another believer who is a seeker of truth, who means well, who is a follower of Jesus, but who is having difficulty understanding a certain topic, verse, etc etc.
2 Tim. 2:24-26 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
We should also remember the qualities found in Col. 4:6; Gal. 5:22-23, and 1 Peter 3:15.
