1Pe 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Pro 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

Psa 143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
Psa 143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

Job 9:2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
Job 9:3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

1Co 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

Rom 14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

Being right isn't everything ..

If being right is all there is to life, then God would have wiped us out the moment sin entered.

I know of such a person who thinks of himself as right, not in everything, but in the things he cares most about.

(Looking at you, Uncle Jonah)

And you know what, maybe he is right .. Maybe he know better about some things .. maybe he is indeed smarter than most people ..

But imagine the Spirit were to enter such a person .. maybe their understanding gives them a greater liberty .. but such liberty stumbles others who are weak .. and those such weak are with the Spirit also, and whom Jesus died for ..

Wouldn't you feel horrible?

(A lot more can be said. I guess this is it for now)
