INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this page is to collect Scripture evidence relative to the practice of rebuking. Modern religions seem to run from the practice. It seems to have a beginning with Genesis 12:3 and 'bookends' with Philippians 2:2. I think this is false interpretation because it contradicts the book of Ezekiel and the word of YHWH in Proverbs 3:11-12 and Hebrews 12:6. To rebuke someone is not the same as to curse someone. I think modern man and especially modern man in the church has the wrong understanding of what it means to curse someone.
