Are they Contradictory?

A good day to all! Let us continue with the studies we are making of the verses of the Bible. And as we do so, let us find out if the Bible contains contradicting ideas.

The first verse that we are citing is II Timothy 2:25, which says—

“In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;”

In this particular verse, St. Paul said that those who opposed should be instructed in meekness. But in Titus 1:13, St. Paul also said—

“This witness is true: Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.”

This time, St. Paul is saying that they should be rebuked sharply that they may be sound in the faith. Which, now, is correct: instruct in meekness, or rebuke sharply?

Do those verses contradict each other? Again, let us ask our teachers, pastors, ministers, priests, and evangelists. But if they could not give you any answer, you better ask Brother Eli Soriano.
