Name calling to me is kind of like a rebuke.The spirit would have to move you to rebuke someone.It would take discernment and you would have to get yourself out of the way.

I don't think Paul was saying their testimony of Cretans was true but that what he was saying about what they say about Cretans is true. As though he was saying, "It's true that they really say this. So rebuke them for it." True, I did not notice that. It says 'this' testimony is true not 'their' testimony. Thanks.

i am not sure i have posted this on this thread, because of a change in pseudonyms... ...regardless, all 'name-calling' and 'insults' by christians is not a rebuke, but an excuse to partake in those lovely sins that are borderline without feeling guilty. call a man a fool, and be in danger of hell fire. matthew 5:22

I use, each and every single time, the Good Test in witnessing.ALWAYS.It works.I finish off with :He Paid The Fine".
It's the clearest way to present the Gospel.
