       Generally, these kinds of persons will not take responsibility for their incorrect behavior. And so, if the person identifies as Christian, this is a kind of person we are going to have to “bear” with. It could also be an unsaved family member or friend who acts like this, and if we have to keep the person in our life, we are just going to have to “bear” with them. Ideally, it seems best to distance oneself from those who refuse, whether realizing it or not, to take responsibility. However, depending on one’s situation, this isn’t always possible. But it isn’t reasonable to say we should always put up with another’s sin, or things like an attitude of self-pity or whatnot. All of us, no matter who we are, are at times going to have complaints against another. No matter how far one tries to run from this, or no matter how one tries to pretend it doesn’t happen, it certainly does. It would be nice if everyone at church could get along perfectly at all times, but if we are honest we know that’s not the way it is.
