And both those, as Nell pointed out, are prideful. I think many things then stemmed from that.
1 Corinthians 13:7
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Maybe I'm all alone here, but I believe with love there is no spiritual pride, elitism, smear campaigns, shunning, practicing quarantines, suing Christians, disparaging Christianity.
Instead with love, there is humility and grace towards one another.
Had there been those traits, how many ex-lcers would still be meeting with a locality?
