Second, there is a fine line, isn’t there. On the one hand, we are to worry about the plank in our own eyes, and yet we are still to help our brother with the speck in his own. In other words, there maybe something your brother is doing or believing that is bad for him, but check yourself first. That’s not always easy. What do we do with a brother or sister that is either sinning and claiming Christ as the Way (and by sin I do mean in the way Paul speaks of it, for example a life of drunkenness, or some open sexual sin, maybe the open allowance of “all roads lead to heaven’) or the believer that won’t allow any other version of the Bible than the KJV (which is the one I believe you are most frustrated with)? Each one does the body no good at all, and yet we who are of the faithful must find a way to address these wrongs, and you’re right it must be with love, but must also be dealt with. This is life in a sinful world.

I thank you for voicing a major problem within the community of believers, but what is the answer? The Fruit of the Spirit is not just Love, and there is much about the faith we hold dear. For myself, constant reading of Scripture and a life of prayer can go a long way to heal wounds, but I have found others with the same practice, who are far from what we see as Christianity. In the end, hold tight to the saving Grace of the Cross of Christ and know that you are not alone. It is the Holy Spirit that speaks, saves, and teaches; we are only the clay the Lord has formed for His purpose.

St Augustine said, “Let us agree in the essentials, the cross of calvary
have liberty in the non-essentials, our isms,
but in all things we must love.
