Am I sinning by not telling?

[Imprimartin]

K777angel:

It is one of the “Spiritual Works of Mercy” to admonish the sinner.
This does not mean finger pointing in an accusatory way.
It is at the heart of “spreading the Gospel.” What is the Gospel message? It is to repent and be saved!
We must be willing to endure a possible negative reaction from the one we “admonish” (in love of course or it loses it’s power).
When one’s spirit is pricked - it hurts.

It is an act of love, an act of mercy to remind or inform another that they are perhaps on the wrong track.
The rest is up to them.

You know? I agree with you 100%. I’m a truthy, apologetic, kind of guy. And when I lovingly point out the truth, ( I don’t do it too often), I get the “thou shalt not judge” routine. Now, since I know the truth, I know the difference between judging and discerning. And when I lovingly explain how I am not judging, It just goes downhill from there and I get flack from some people.
