It’s a tricky balance this speaking up for what you believe on a public forum.
This verse is about appropriate application – NOT name calling – and is often my decider on whether to get involved or not. (Usually not)
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”
You might just as easily say “do not hang your fragile crystal in a hurricane and expect it back intact”.
I have been torn to pieces in the past… unnecessarily because I didn’t understand/apply this proverb.
It isn’t of course a stand-alone principle- there are always other things to consider… like this:
“Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.”
But even that is clarifying… the reverse can be a trap.
