Love is a great minimum.
John and Paula Sandford in TRANSFORMATION OF THE INNER MAN
insist that the standard needs to be TRUTH IN LOVE.
That love without truth is useless and often even destructive sentimentality.
And Truth without love is brutality.
Love alone in such matters as ref’d is not sufficient to prevent unwitting folks being seduced into Mary worship.
imho.
I think one of the Corinthian letters says something about love, too. :D

I guess that for me, I want to handle correction from the point of view that “Blessed are the Meek”
I’m not a very good apologist, I’m not a learned scholar, but I try to see things from the perspective of the other side. I may feel I’m right, but if I want another to think I am too, I’ll spread some jelly on it.
Maybe that’s just me.
