Like many things in our Christian life, we can error to multiple extremes. Most people seem to be worried about arguments between Christians. I’ll admit some of them get ugly and that should never happen. On the other hand, we aren’t supposed to just let error continue, but should correct lovingly using Scripture (not our opinions).
“25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; 26and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.” (Hebrews 18":25-26).
When a Jew named Apollos was speaking using the Jewish Scriptures, two godly Christians, Aquila & Priscilla, pulled him aside to explain Jesus to him more accurately. They didn’t try to embarrass him in front of people. They didn’t try to beat him at an argument. They gently pulled him aside and explained the truth to him. By correctly him privately and in a loving manner, he became an amazing preacher that defended the faith boldly and correctly and brought people to Christ.
Ignoring error is as bad as browbeating the mistaken. All believers should be searching for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We shouldn’t be trying to look more righteous or to embarrass those who may be less mature or misled.
