How loving is is to watch one heading blindly for a cliff and not doing everything possible to warn them of disaster?
It's like Spurgeon said:
“If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.”
P
In your case, rather than 'wrapping your arms about our knees', you are often found leaving petty remarks. Remarks which add fuel to a fire. A fire which could have been extinguished had you 'wrapped your arms about our knees'. Instead, these petty remarks with no substance or clarification end up adding momentum to the one(s) who are at the edge of that cliff.
Show us that you believe Spurgeon's words here. Let us see you grabbing ahold of us so that we do not fall. I'd much rather see this than see your petty remarks as I fall.
When I say "petty" I mean spiteful and negligible -- you're stirring the pot, but not helping to fix anything.

Tell me how I am using Scripture to fight against false doctrine, as being "spiteful" and simply "stirring the pot"?
What would you have us do?
Should we simply say; "Well, whatever you believe to be right, is right for you, and who are we to question any doctrine, because the last thing we should do is hurt someone's feelings".
Would that make you happy? Are feelings more important than the truth?
it isn't the fact you are using scriptures it's how you use them, the same words they can save a soul or destroy it.
for instance if someone does something and you ask them to apologize but they sorry in a rude way they don't mean it do they? it's easy to use scripture but how you use it effects everything
