I think desiring the death of those who differ with our pet doctrines is a worse sin than having a wrong doctrine.
For this is the inner desire for murder, which breaks the Law of loving our neighbors as ourselves. If we love our neighbors as ourselves, would we really desire their death?

I pray that you have not construed anything that I've stated concerning the difference in opinions between myself and Segraves, to imply or infer that I would pray for God to slay him simply because of that disagreement. If so, then that is absolutely absurd!
I was simply, and only, quoting the explicit words expressed by the Lord Himself concerning any man that would cause a "stumbling-block" (that is what the word "offence" means, you know) to be placed before another, which might cause another of God's chosen people, or many, to place their confidence in that which maketh for a lie (read about the fate of the prophet Hananiah, found recorded in
Jeremiah 28, for having committed such a thing).
