Do you include in your nice sounding love and mercy those unique children of God that are aborted at 3 months, 6 months, even 9 months and left to die and thrown literally in the trash like your pal obama and his new hhs secretary did in Kansas? Of course those little ones don't vote and don't look good in photo shoots (abortion is messy and bloody you know) on the front page of the daily news. Praying for you today brother.

This verse shows that we should help our brothers and sisters get back on track by rebuking sinful behavior. All Christians are responsible for this. This is true love. Look at it like this...when you were a child and were making a fuss because your parents told you not to do something (that might harm you/others or get you into trouble, etc.) were they telling you not to do something out of love for you? Of course. This is the same thing. Luke 17:
“3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.”
