The zeal for truth is commendable when it burns within the heart, yet it must be tempered with the knowledge of what truth truly serves. For the salvation of souls is the aim, not the mere exposure of what we perceive to be error. Consider the Lord Himself, who knew the secret thoughts of all men. When they harbored wicked suspicions and accusations against Him, He did not set down the charge publicly nor expose their wickedness openly. He left the refutation to their own conscience, desiring not to expose them, but to do good to them that were sinning. This is the pattern we must follow.
You speak with great certainty about what constitutes a human being, listing the absence of body, soul, spirit, blood, thought, and speech. You declare they will never know repentance. But who has made you the discerner of souls? The Lord alone searches the heart and mind. The prophet spoke beforehand of the bonds and death of Christ, and even His enemies proclaimed these things. This was permitted so that truth might be established by unexpected means. We preach the cross by means of unlearned men, and this same cross persuaded the whole world. God is not hindered by the instrument He chooses. If truth is proclaimed, why do you fix your gaze upon the vessel?
The great danger here lies in the contempt shown toward those who teach. When the Lord instructed His disciples about the scribes and Pharisees, He commanded reverence for their teaching office even when their lives were depraved. He did not depose them from their dignity, though their sins were many. He did this to leave no cloak for disobedience to His disciples and to render the false teachers' condemnation heavier upon themselves. If the Lord Himself wills to give salvation, and He chooses to use unexpected means, what need is there to rise up against them? Your prayer draws you not to love, but to contentiousness. Many have fallen away from God through such contentiousness toward one another.
Remember the harvest. The Lord spoke of fields already white for reaping, signifying the multitude of souls prepared for salvation. The eyes He spoke of were those of the mind and body, perceiving readiness. If a message of repentance and the call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ goes forth, then the truth which is according to godliness is being served. This cross drove away error, brought back truth, made earth heaven. Because of this, all that wars against us is cast to the ground. But if you arm yourself for a battle not against the devil and his lies, but against instruments you have judged unworthy, your loins are not girt about with truth but with a mockery, a shadow of true zeal.
The thing you call truth is entangled with a judgment of persons that belongs not to you. The Jews of old rested their hopes of salvation in their relationship to Abraham according to nature, deeming that sufficient. What hindered their coming to Christ was this very misplaced confidence. The truth of which He spoke was His equality with the Father. The truth you must cling to now is that salvation is found in Christ alone, not in your ability to discern the state of another's soul. Let the disobedient be excluded from the assembly, yes, but who has appointed you the doorkeeper of hearts? I sit on this throne of teaching not to give up its rights, but I must warn you with a loud voice: this preoccupation with exposing what you deem inhuman draws you away from the one thing needful.
Yield your obedience to the command to love, to pray for all, to desire the salvation of all, for God will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Do not consider such as enemies and raise troubles against them. Embrace the salvation of your own soul first, and let God be the judge of all else. Through the grace and mercy of the only-begotten Son of God, may we all in common reap eternal blessings. Amen.
