As bad as the report is, it is all too common to say it isn't present among brothers of the Christian faith, so, I will pass on request for examples. But if it is well under check with those you fellowship? , , to God be the glory!

One example I WOULD like to include is this for those who question that common potential and possible resistance,

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution [by resistance]. (2 Timothy 3:12)

That is, if we heed the Apostle and call out those misguided in that ancient trait.

See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. (1Thessalonians 5:15)

Too cryptic - can you please restate in plain English.

Your comments are just way too vague to understand clearly.

Oh, so you don't think Paul was speaking to Christians in 1 Thessalonians 5:15?

If you have remained free from such, praise God, I have lived it first-hand, the scriptures themselves testify to this in the epistles.

As Jesus said, 'brother against brother'. And that could be when either one, or both act in disobedience.

You have adequate reason to know I haven't done likewise? Moreover, how about the one who was a known public menace, converted, 'labored' and still suffered unjustly because they held his former conduct against true redemption by members of his own fellowship? This is another 'evil for [former] evil'.

How on earth would I know what you do or don’t do. Are you addressing a personal issue?

No clue as to what you are saying. I apologize. I know you know what you are talking about but I don’t.

The only thing that comes to mind is love , it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Soo true, , would be fitting to bind these in a locket or on the finger to remind.

What???? Is that just being poetic, or do you stuff tied to your fingers?

You’ve not yet been confronted with any symbolic, allegorical or spirit of the message narratives?

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. (Proverbs 3:3)

There are others, , NT? Possibly, ,

Oh, that you would bear with me in a little folly—and indeed you do bear with me. (2 Corinthians 11:1)

Understood. But then, the example I cite, I thought is possibly the most prevalent of our time. This one is performed by only one party who to put it nicely is disrespectful of a fellow Christian who was bought with a price.

Not in every day speaking.

Do you speak to your family and friends like you do here?

It is probably my issue because I am a plain speaker. Your post, to me, are cryptic and vague and I seldom get what you are talking about on the first go round.

Are you saying that you or someone you know of is not being treated well,

Is this a complaint about members in your church?

Is this a complaint?

Is this an observation?

What resort are you speaking of? Does it have a pool?

Or are you talking about something else? Can you restate in just plain every language what you are talking about please.

A little less Christianese and more plain English would be helpful to me.

Thank you for your patience

I'm not going to commit comment any longer to my style of grammer beyond this; Yes, not only do I quote scripture to my friends and family, but some of the allegorical treatment found in there as well. So why am I faulted for the choice of words the Holy Spirit chose to use? My english-teaching mother wasn't nearly as influential upon my writing style as my paid-per-piece columnist-wife.

What, I can't have a little fun with crossover synonyms (title)? You seem determined to undermine my OP intent not to use examples, which I have done with supplied examples in post #13 and #5, ,

To date, you seem to be in stern doubt over the possibility of people who identify as Christians could possibly be guilty of committing evil against another Christian, when that same unfortunate thing fell on the Apostle in his time,

", , in journeyings often, , in perils among false brothers" (2 Corinthians 11:26).
