“I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing – – -> talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church.” – John

Do you agree with John?

Do you think John should simply, ‘keep things positive,’ instead of poking the Diotrephes bear?

Do you think it’s wise and/or kind of John to publicly mention Diotrephes by name, and say such honest things about his flaws and wickedness?

Who would you publicly talk about as being, “wickedly nonsensical”?

Hmmmmmm…
