I think considering the previous posts, most would have made the same assumption. Thank you for clearing that up for us.

And yes I would, sometimes A Christian does need a kick in the shin... but not as a retaliation. Kick away if you see someone falling into sin, but that should be done with God's word. And it should be followed up with a forgiveness if they turn from that sin.

God loved us enough that He sent his very Son to die that we might live. He forgave us because of Christ. How can we not do the same for our brothers and sisters?
