My observation is that 9 times out of 10 when a Catholic complains about being bashed by an evangelical, an overly broad accusation has been leveled... the word of God has to be used with careful accuracy and appropriate to the situation. It will be a “what are you doing” kind of question. We ain’t apostles, we don’t get privilege to fire broadsides at congregations we never founded.
Oh really? Are we to follow scripture or no?
James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
1 Timothy 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
Titus 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
