Your King Has Come - Indelible Grace
speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ
When confronting a system of belief (person or persons, church, denomination) that, while claiming to be Christian, runs contrary to the gospel, is it acceptable for me to use the following descriptions for those who are putting forth a false gospel:
- dogs
- sorcerers
- evil
- false
- enemies of Christ
- demonic
- cursed
- tricky
- crafty
- deceitful
- scheming
Are those descriptions too harsh when referring to present-day “Christians” who are proclaiming a gospel that is contrary to that true good news which Scripture puts forth? If I use these words, is my love abounding more and more in knowledge and discernment, or am I being puffed up and driving a deeper wedge between myself and the person in error? Would I be speaking the truth in love, or would I instead be coming across to them and others as nothing but arrogant and prideful in my position? Also, is it wrong to name names, or should I be generic in my thoughts and just address the error in question?
