Paul also battled with his writings and preaching. He wrote a line where jesus told a disciple that Julius Caesar needed to be given what is due to him while God also needed to be given attention. What was that line about? How could jesus come to Earth to identify injustices but still acknowledged the tyranny of Julius? 

Consistency and clarity are gifts from God, and God wouldn't want us wavering between doing good and doing bad. As believers, we must also be clear with our journey in faith and avoid distractions as much as possible.
