[Gal 5:11-15 KJV] 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
They seem to be set on being offended no matter what. Sound familiar???
12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
Paul hopes that no one messes with the Galatians faith.
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Christian liberty is tempered with responsibility in representing God's kingdom.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Always, always ask yourself before you say something, or do something or think something...would I want to be treated the way I am about to treat this person. If the answer is no then I need to make adjustments to my behavior.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
Paul is right...ugly behavior becomes a vicious cycle that only brings all involved to a lower level.
