Why is it, that when you are trying to help someone in the Lord or correct a loved one in their error, because of the correction, they get offended and claim you are judging them?
I get this response to correction often and the scripture that is used the most for that is Matthew 7:1-5, "Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shall thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Brothers and sisters understand that with wisdom comes understanding. The Word is SUPPOSED to convict you, that is why there is an offense when being corrected. But ONLY those who are wise will accept the correction with love. Others, who do not want to give up the World, will have a hard time and go on the defense by trying to justify themselves with scripture that they do NOT understand.
So don't stop trying to show and give the truth.
