The Lord Jesus Christ said “Be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves”

Jesus Christ said “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” - Matthew 10:6

How else are the saved of Jesus Christ instructed to be harmless but at the same time to tell others important truth from God?

please answer with scripture if you can.

 

The only way for a person to avoid the damnation of hell is of course to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because unless a person gets saved before they die, they will spend eternity in torment. I love all other people and I would never want anyone nor anyone that they know and love to not get saved. And so I preach the gospel of Christ.

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: - 1 Cor 15:1-4

Please look carefully at the phrase from above "sins according to the scriptures". So unless a person knows and acknowledges sins according to the scripture, that is, according to God who alone makes the decision, they will not got get saved. In a way those who think that they are loving are unfortunately not helping people who are not saved.

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:- Ephesians 4:5

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; - Phil 1:28-29

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. - Romans 12:18-21

 

So if a person goes about killing people, maybe a serial killer or a hit man, they do not have to acknowledge that murder is a sin according to what you just said.
The same for someone who worships a statue of Zeus, or a serial adulterer, or someone who fornicates all the time, or someone that goes around robbing banks.
No. The gospel of Christ clearly says “sins according to the scripture”
After all that is what Christ suffered for.

Now does a person need to recount all of his past sins? Well no that would be to hard.

 

Believing what it actually says is not gnostic. Turning it into what it does not say is gnostic.
Your theory would have it say "how Christ died for our sins not according to the scripture"

Christ died for something. According to the scriptures, it is our sins. And there is no definition of sin except "sins according to the scripture". Sins according to another source, would be hidden wisdom, which is exactly gnostic.

 

It would be “third day according to the scriptures”

 

It is.
Even if you remove “third” from “third day according to the scriptures” it could not be “month according to the scriptures” as that we be “third month according to the scriptures”
Unfortunately that kind of change would be gnostic

 

Noting from the righty divided scripture I see.
But how do you righty divide the word of truth?

 

Paul wrote to Timothy, an evangelist:

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. - 2 Tim 2:15

obviously you do not know how to do that.

And of course Paul also wrote in declaring the gospel of Christ

… how Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures…

 

“Third day according to the scriptures” is of course part of the gospel of Christ.
Now you want to remove “third” which leaves
“Day according to the scriptures”
Which is correct as “month according to the scriptures” would lead to
“Third month according to the scriptures”
See I answered and am perfectly correct

now “sins according to the scriptures” is exactly what Christ dies for as opposed to
“Sins according to some other source”
Again I am perfectly correct.

So if a person goes about killing people, maybe a serial killer or a hit man, they do not have to acknowledge that murder is a sin according to what you just said.
The same for someone who worships a statue of Zeus, or a serial adulterer, or someone who fornicates all the time, or someone that goes around robbing banks.
