I feel like the #sbc21 and its aftermath - including today's plagiarism discussions - resembles far more 1 Corinthinans, "I am of Paul, I am of Apollos," than brothers in a common field.
If we are no longer in fellowship over true doctrinal issues - then we move apart. As did Paul and Barnabas at one point. Did one see either going to the Jerusalem council to slander the other?
Even in matters of true dangerous heresy - as I might argue some of the points of difference in #sbc21 are - the gnostism is denounced, and the truth proclaimed. We are called to lovingly call for repentance and clear assertions of righteousness, not character attacks
Matthew 18 lays out the complaint to a brother. Did one go to him? Did he not listen and take another one or two? No where in the entirety of the new testament do we find "dogpile on twitter, and offer every public opinion against a man"
