We
need to speak the truth *in love,* and not enable people to comfortably
continue in ignorance, prejudice or denial of the truth. Otherwise, we
foster dangerous and dysfunctional relationships.
However, once we have provided an explanation, and pointed to the truth, if our interlocutor refuses to engage in rational argument and begins to sow dissension and division, then we may need to follow the Dusty Feet test:
"If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that
home or town and shake the dust off your feet." (Matt. 10:14)
