"The heretics were never dishonest men; they were mistaken men.
They should not be thought of as men who were deliberately setting out to go wrong and to teach something that is wrong; they have been some of the most sincere men that the Church has ever known.
What was the matter with them?
Their trouble was this: they evolved a theory and they were rather pleased with it; then they went back with this theory to the Bible, and they seemed to find it everywhere. "― Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Studies in the Sermon on the Mount (As quoted by Marsha West) post on Midwest Christian Outreach, The Religion of Man.
This quote is from a post of Don and Joy Veinot, The Religion of Man, at Midwest Christian Outreach. Their article begins with this quote of Martyn Lloyd-Jones and ends with their own:
..."Everything that has happened or will happen in the future is in the hands of Almighty God.
He controls the weather – man does not.
No man or group of men will wrest control away from Him, and He will have the final say.
For our part, we must keep ourselves from hating others, even if we may find ourselves hated.
Many of us born into earlier generations enjoyed the great blessing of being taught about God and true faith in our homes and churches.
We were not sent out into the world without that faith in God underpinning us.
In these times, people without God desperately need our love and prayers, especially the young, who do not have the tools to evaluate whatever information they are given.
Please, let us pray for them.Ω

Please read their whole article to grasp this important issue and how we as Believers are to live with others in this fallen world.
