Thin-Skinned Christians Ruin Churches

Both Paul and Jude call Christians to fight. The Spirit of God works through our fight. Our fight is not with sword, but with all humility and gentleness with patience, bearing with one another. Bearing! In other words, Christians are not thin skinned. Thin-skinned Christians ruin and destroy churches! Christians are tolerant (by the true definition of the word; not the modern perverted re-definition). Christians have thick skin; they are not easily offended. Christians are not running around squealing like stuck pigs the way Leftist Millennial Social Justice Warrior NPCs are.
