Question

meaning for this: open rebuke is better than secret love​

Answer 1

Answer:

An open rebuke demonstrates more love to a friend than a secret love which withholds rebuke when it should be given. (Pro 27:5) Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. (Pro 27:6)

Verbal rebuke or physical wounds from a friend are cutting and sharp, but they will do more good than the kisses of a treacherous, deceptive, crafty enemy.

► Five examples of such faithfulness:

1. Nehemiah (Neh 5:7-13)

2. Jehu (2 Chr 19:2-11

3. Jesus Christ (Mt 23)

4. Stephen (Acts 7)

5. Paul (Acts 22:1--Acts 24:27)

Answer 2
