The problem with people who refuse to be corrected is that their inability to receive rebuke will end up causing disasters far bigger than whatever other issues they have.
@sola_chad The reason we are to love our enemies is because God loves His enemies and shows love to His enemies. Matthew 5:43-48. God does love the lost. It doesn’t mean He loves them in the same way He loves His children, or that the lost will go the heaven, but God does love the lost.
Elitism among church leaders is both the source of countless abuses and the reason abusers are self-righteously protected even by fellow leaders who would otherwise condemn those abuses.
I can’t overstate how important this is. Where abusers are unchecked, elitism abounds.
