Proverbs 9:7-9 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
It is a sad truth, but some people will just never learn, and they do not want to be corrected, instructed, or helped in any way. Take care in trying to rebuke or correct someone who doesn't want to learn or change, it can be costly.
We must seek Yahawah God's wisdom and be discerning in how to reach toward those who reject correction. Part of wisdom is being open to dialogue and correction from our brothers and sisters in The Messiah.
Accountability is necessary for biblical community, and it takes honesty, speaking the truth in love, and forgiveness; not to mention giving every effort to put away gossip and false judgement. Living together in Yahawashi The Messiah takes great courage.
"Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Ha-Mashiach shall give thee light." (Ephesians 5:14), 'Salvation'
