Why Christians Should Focus On True Gospel Instead Of Public Criticism by cutecommend(op): 8:44am On Aug 10, 2025
You may have seen christians criticize others on the internet. It is not bad to correct wrong doings, but it is good to do it under the leading of the HolySpirit. Again, corrections can be made by sending a message directly to whoever you feel is not getting it right, instead of making it public; except the HolySpirit leads a person to make it public.

Finally, if the church focuses on preaching with love and giving sound doctrines of Holiness, fruits of the Spirit, rapture, righteousness, restitution, prayers, fasting, building of character, evangelism, separation from worldly lifestyle, dressing as a Christian, avoidance of church glorification, power, faith e.t.c, without being fond of calling others out in public, there will be great transformation.

Preach the true word of God instead of concentrating on criticising others.

Didn't Jesus criticise people many times in public?

Matthew 23:33
"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

Luke 11:40
You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?

Matthew 16:23
Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

What type of perfect role model is this to follow? He went around insulting people while he preached, while at the same time he told his followers to show love to their enemies? He even went so far as calling one of his disciples "Satan"!! Why couldn't Jesus be more patient and hold his tongue?

Jesus even got a bit physical at times...

John 2:15
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!"

This is true. Though there are times for true criticism.
