zone attacks ideas not people, some people just think they are their ideas and so feel attacked when those ideas are disputed.
its very hard to discuss anything with a person who has no respect for you and very hard to love anyone if there is no respect.
If nothing else I respect the time and effort God has taken with every single person I meet because GOD hand a hand in their creation. He gives them the air they breathe, He watches and raises them according to His will. if they stray He disciplines them. As long as a person is still breathing then there is hope they will come to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and turn in true repentance of their sin and disobedience. If God is merciful, then how can we be any less? If you think God loves you and lead you to were you are why do you deny His ability to do the same for others?
"This letter-preaching deals with the surface and shadow of things, and not the things themselves. It does not penetrate the inner part. It has no deep insight into, no strong grasp of, the hidden life of God’s Word. It is true to the outside, but the outside is the hull which must be broken and penetrated for the kernel. The letter may be dressed so as to attract and be fashionable, but the attraction is not toward God nor is the fashion for heaven. The failure is in the preacher. God has not made him. He has never been in the hands of God like clay in the hands of the potter. He has been busy about the sermon, its thought and finish, its drawing and impressive forces; but the deep things of God have never been sought, studied, fathomed, experienced by him." - EM Bounds
