Yet many are just attacking and insulting the folks -- like I gave the example of the Born-Again behavior in South Canara -- it set back not only the BA's spreading of the Word, but set back that of the Church's momentarily.
"rebuking and reproving false teachings." is not the same as insulting a person or his (non)beliefs as traitorous or worse.
And I agree. I think it is never proper to hatefully insult someone who is sincerely seeking the truth. However, what may appear to someone as insults is not meant as such and is really a reproof of the false doctrines. It must be judged on a case by case basis. I think it is a good rule across the boards on Free Republic to avoid personal attacks and making the post "about" the person rather than the person's beliefs. Sure the moderators on the thread outside the Religion Forum are not as strict, but it doesn't mean we should ignore the rules.
You mentioned it, but gave no particulars. Neither did you state exactly what the Born-Agains did or said to incite violence.
