**Problem is that people concerned about “correcting the sinner” never see themselves **

“Never” is an all-encompassing word that could mean everyone.

Is that what you wanted to say?

Yes that is what I want to say.

People exercising real spiritual leadership lead by example, they don’t go around wagging fingers at other people.

The very fact of being more concerned with another’s sins than one’s own changes the conversation from a spiritual/philosophical one (self improvement and personal development) to a political one (control over the actions of others).

Bottom line: If you learn to control yourself, you will see no need whatsoever to control anyone else.
