Z, you said:

"According to Paul it would be a sin for the LSM to sue other saints.
According to Jesus this sin would be shouted from the rooftop.
These verses do not contradict and this forum is fulfilling the Lord's prophecy."

Ohio claims:

"the hypocrisy of the Pharisees done in secret will be proclaimed from the rooftops."

You and Ohio base your opinions on a limited interpretation and understanding of Luke 12:1-3 for you ignore the companion verse which says plainly the things in secret are those which the Lord speaks to us:

"What I say to you in the darkness; speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the housetops" Matt 10:27

That is why I asked for a reconciliation of what Paul said when Ohio and now you alleged the secret things were the Pharisee-type hypocrisies or sins. The Bible never contradicts itself.

The context of both Matthew 10 and Luke 12 shows clearly this is not referring to hypocrisies and sins spoken by believers that is to be proclaimed from the housetops. Rather the things the Lord speaks under a situation of persecution and our prayerful fellowship with Him are the things we are to proclaim on the rooftops.
