The answer is very simple, most people know that if they correct, in even the mildest terms, they will lose the love and respect of the one they correct and all of those looking on who are made uncomfortable by the exchange, along with the friends of the one corrected.
Fear motivates the silence that has enveloped the church. The only people who get rebuked most often are those who correct wrong doctrine or behavior. Those who live the bad doctrine or sinful behavior are defended and embraced, in the name of love, which is not Biblical love but humanistic and damning friendliness.
Our world is backward, we have all been taught through psychology that it is not nearly as wrong to do evil as it is to correct it.
Does this make any good sense at all? NO, not only does it not make good sense according to human thinking it makes even less sense according to God.
If a bridge designer made plans for a bridge but it was full of error, would it make sense to withhold correction to make the builder "feel" good about himself. Most people who have brains, would say of course not. If we care about the safety of the people who will be crossing that bridge, we instruct the builder to fix those errors, then we have an inspector re-inspect to make sure the modifications are done to insure the safety of every person crossing that bridge.
Why then are we so lazy about correcting wrong doctrine and those who walk in sin? There is only one reason we protect the sinner and go after the corrector, that is that those who protect the sinner do not really believe in the consequences of sin, whether it be God's discipline or the possibility of going to hell.
What we are dealing with today is a lack of faith!!!! Doing things God's way is not followed because most in the church don't really believe God, they have been brainwashed by humanistic psychology, having believed the educators rather than believing God.
Who are you going to believe, God or man?
