Reminds me of the many Proverbs that tell us not to get into discussions w/fools. After one or two warnings (and no repentance), we should back away from the situation and let fools be fools. Then there's the one that warns us that casting pearls before swine is dangerous, since they'll trample on the pearls then turn and rend us.
This controversy recently happened in my last church, and I'm now angry at all my friends (and one relative) that stayed in the church. They needed to leave as soon as it was clear that the liberal elite leaders had taken over and were pushing their homosexual agenda. Instead, they want to stay and try to "work it out." So far, things appear normal and peaceful, but I say that over time then ultimately they'll be rended. In the meantime, they're donating to the agenda that they're very much against. Stupid!
