    If you’re unwilling to offend others, you’re not fit for ministry. If you’re eager to offend others, you’re not fit for ministry.

        Thank you. Truth if we are applying it to our own hearts ... not knowable truth if we are judging the motives of another’s heart. God knows.

        Good point. And the former I would think was only the byproduct of tough love and hard truth not the goal or intention.

        Is offending others whether I'm willing to or not close enough?

        Suggesting an ideal that’s “willing to offend others” leaves lots of room for confusion. Are you trying to say one is not fit for truth if they are shackled to the other people’s opinions of them—especially if they oppose the dominate view within your immediate church community?
