"If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth..." (1 Tim. 6:3-5)

"To say something is 'counter-productive' means it produces an opposite result from the one intended. Bombings of abortion clinics are counter-productive. They solidify opposition to the pro-life movement, and they discredit the plea to be pro-life, since in bombings innocent bystanders are sometimes hurt or killed. In refuting false doctrine, to move from discussion of the issues to character assassination is counter-productive. It tends to turn off everyone except those who already agree anyway."
