“Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning” Proverbs 9:9.Is it exactly, is it Christian to examine the doctrine of a certain religion, church or sect and to question her?
Every man is entitled, given by God, of having faith as well it pleases him. The North Americans recognize that divine right. For free choice, “to Attack the religion of the another is not love”-they say. The own Brazilian constitution guarantees the religious freedom. This affirmative would be true if before we didn't examine our own religion and we didn't compare it with the pattern of God, the Bible.
Another reaction of the ones that questions our authority of testifying could be: “Judge not, that ye be not judged” Matthew 7:1, according to Matthew 7:5 this verse is driven the hypocrites. On the other hand, John 7:24 tells the believers that “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment”; not according to the appearance, but according to the word of God.
It is tragic that nowadays some of us, the believers, we have, on behalf of the love, kept the truth to the that are in the mistake, for not wanting to offend them or for not loving them enough. Remember that the true love prevents.
It is true that should not give too much importance to the minimum things. It can be unnecessary to tell the neighbor that he possesses a bad breath or that the tile of his house is free. However, if he is sleeping and the house to catch fire, it is crime not to wake up him. He/she excuses some and any empty declaration of love will never satisfy God in such cases. “He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love” 1 John 4:8. “He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue” Proverbs 28:23.
