In Reply to: Rebuke is perhaps the wrong choice of words, howabout "Reprove"? posted by Mike on September 24, 2006 at 02:18:40:
Mike:
One translation of "reproof" is "convince"; unlike the Bergian use of "every opportunity for browbeating disciples with humiliatingly scathing put-down for the purpose of control" (I just made that up, to describe Berg and his leaderships mind-breaking tactics).
Yes; I do try to convince.
Regardless, a "scoffer" will hate me for it, and a "wise man" will love me for it. Oh, well. I guess I can't win 'em all! ;-)
