Galatians 6:1
"Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted."
There's a difference in correcting someone with a gentle heart and hypocritically attacking them. Contrary to popular belief the bible doesn't condemn judging others. In fact we are called to judge. Righteous judgement is different than unrighteous judgment.
You should be really careful about taking verses out of context and/or interpreting them to fit your own preconceived narrative. That is exactly what MSM does. Did you see the video at the impeachment where they would take excerpts from Trump’s speech?
I'm not taking it out of context. I have studied and preached the word in many different settings. Recovery ministry and my own - Sacred Road ministries (we minister to local Native American tribes). I understand correct exposition. I appreciate your advice though because many people need to hear that. Study of the bible should be with reverence. Paul tells us that we are to study in order that we might be reckoned as those who have God’s approval to handle and communicate His revelation.
What we need is less superficial Christians and more true believers with love and zeal to step up and walk the walk.
We need solidarity in Christ. We need strong fellowship.
I know that. People have argued about biblical hermeneutics for centuries lol, I don't mean to argue with you about it so if it came across that way I apologize! I'm just saying that God's elect need to be righteous judges against sin. Our world is sick. Those who rule out society are sick.
Sometimes I wonder how many of us are praying for our enemies? We should pray for those who need it most... Sorry I changed the subject but that just came to mind. I don't remember the last time I prayed for a political leader I didn't like. I should change that. I believe God could work through the worst of us in a powerful way.

You seem like a very caring person and that’s wonderful but who you are (or who I am) has no bearing on the intent or context of scripture.
