Actually, the answer that we did NOT teach in this lesson was: “Make sure you correct Biblically untrue statements made by others.” The reason we didn’t teach that is because it is usually a bad idea for the discussion group leader to correct Biblically untrue statements made by others. Why do we say that?
It is a good thing that you want the truth to be recognized as truth, and lies to be recognized as lies, and it can be hard not to correct people in your group when they say things that you know are not Biblically correct, but it is important to not correct them (at least publicly in the discussion group) for a lot of reasons. Some of these are:
(2) it robs others in the group from correcting that person, which is more likely going to be less threatening than if the leader corrects them, and (3) it keeps others in the group from thinking more deeply about what they actually believe which ends up lessening the likelihood of real transformation. |
