I thought Strangelove's posts were brilliant. When the adulteress woman was brought before Jesus by the pharisees and people demanding justice, what did Jesus say to them? He said "He who is without sin cast the first stone".
Isn't this in essence what has happened here. Scott from erie brought forth Hagee for all of you to throw stones at. Strangelove, in essence, said perhaps you should remove the plank from your own eye before you try to remove the splinter from your brothers eye. This is what Jesus taught. You would call that tough love and say the bible doesn't teach that?? The bible is full of tough love. Look at Jonah, Job and the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ just for starters...
God Bless You

How did Jesus treat Judas, a man Jesus knew all along would breray him? Jesus loved him and treated him as his own disciple / brother.
If you want to promote tough love then fine, demonstrate to someone you know well enough who can handle it. But to a complete stranger some's idea of tough love comes across as hate and hypocrisy.
