Maybe it’s more that they have never actually studied scripture as part of their life in Christ so everything they say and do is a copy of somebody else. I’ve met people like this. They are often remarkably successful in business but even more so in church because he rest of us are so shallow ourselves we simply assume it’s normal to echo somebody else’s words. It’s only when you get serious with Jesus that you start to be able to glean wisdom from scripture, the sort of wisdom that’s uncomfortable, insightful and real. Those sorts of people are usually the ones with small congregations and small groups of friends. Not mega international ministries.

Maybe because the standard Christian person doesn’t want to waste their time and energy interacting with a person whose motivation appears to be to “out” them? You might garner a different response if you were to approach them privately (Mt. 18:15 style) and experess an earnest desire to discuss a thing that you believe to be a serious matter.

‘My pastor and spiritual father Bishop T.D. Jakes spoke about how some people react after you have temporally fallen from grace. He said “ people walk on you and step on you because they don’t think you are not coming back, they see you as buried and not planted.” But to paraphrase my great friend and mentor Les Brown “don’t let other peoples opinion of you become your realty.” ‘
