In summary, people REALLY don’t like it when their sins are pointed out and condemned.
Not even in general terms.
They don’t even like being reminded.
I made an enemy for life when I pointed out that someone saying, “I’m not so bad; I haven’t actually killed people, so I must be fine in God’s sight, yes?” is still under God’s condemnation.
He threw a FIT and started spreading outright lies saying that I told people that all veterans are going to Hell, then after that spent over a year trying to financially and psychologically ruin me while also trying to get me excommunicated.
No they don't.
Roman Catholics like to dismiss the thought life as being a part of the sin nature.
