“Therefore we should behave towards them with grace. That can include pointing out their sin...”
*************
I guarantee you that pointing out their sin will not be seen as any form of grace. Leftists see themselves as morally and intellectually superior to us. Any suggestion that they are wrong about anything will be met with stiff resistance or even hatred.
But I think you’re missing my original point which is that any display of understanding or empathy with someone on the Left will be perceived as a sign of weakness on our part. And trust me, the Left see’s weakness as an invitation to push further.
BTW I worked with around some fairly conservative gays who didn’t share the liberal views of other gays in the organization. Made for some strange interpersonal dynamics.
Yes. Some I work with and or know voted for Trump last 2 election cycles. We will disagree on all perceiving it as weakness. Stupidity? Always. Weakness? Sometimes.
Oh. Forgot to mention how they perceive us acting with grace really doesn’t matter. It is what God commands and He sees which is all that matters in the end. He can and often will use that to convict persons of their sin. I refuse to second guess the Creator of the universe on how He wishes us to behave in these situations. We were told we’d be mocked and persecuted so it is no shocker right.
