Did it ever occur to your self righteous critical mind that perhaps BG was trying to extend a hand to old Bill?

..if your brother sins, REBUKE him, and IF HE REPENTS, forgive him...

THAT is the Christian model--the one that Billy wants to ignore, so that he can worship his own belly.

[ClancyJ]

I've always noticed so many professed Christians just love the part about rebuking others, chastising, destroying their efforts.

But, funny thing, I have never heard from them any emphasis on God's love, His grace, the fact that He gave His Son to die for our sins that we may believe Jesus is the Son of God, repent of our sins, be baptised for the remission of those sins and rise to walk through life with Jesus.

Just how do you show your listerners the love of Jesus for us? Or do you just show them their sins only?
