John 2:15

And When He Had Made A Scourge Of Small Cords, He Drove Them All Out Of The Temple, And The Sheep, And The Oxen; And Poured Out The Changers' Money, And Overthrew The Tables;

Galatians 2:11

But When Peter Was Come To Antioch, I Withstood Him To The Face, Because He Was To Be Blamed.

Mark 6:34 

And Jesus, When He Came Out, Saw Much People, And Was Moved With Compassion Toward Them, Because They Were As Sheep Not Having A Shepherd: And He Began To Teach Them Many Things.

We Need To Teach People With Love. We Need To Be Strong In The Faith, Yes But Not Mean. There Are Christians Who Will Say, Jesus, Overthrew The Tables And Confronted Men. These Are Usually People Who Are Combative With Their Faith. 

We Need To Know Who We Are Talking To When We Speak. For Example, When Jesus Christ Overthrew The Tables, And Paul Withstood Peter, They Were Rebuking People Who Knew The Truth, But Did Not Live It Or Teach It. Look At Jesus When He Taught Regular People, He Sat Down With Them, He Was Moved With Compassion And Taught Them With Great Love. Jesus Christ And Paul Both Withstood Men Who Were Teaching In Error, They Had Righteous Anger, Which Is Justified. Jesus Christ, and Paul both told the people where they were in error and proved it. Jesus said in, Mark 11:17 "And He Taught, Saying Unto Them, Is It Not Written, My House Shall Be Called Of All Nations The House Of Prayer? But Ye Have Made It A Den Of Thieves." Paul said in, Galatians 2:14 "But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?"

Not All Disagreements Between Christians Are Righteous And Justified. Read Your Bible And Know How To Reach The People You Are Speaking To.
