Exactly! If you want to convince a Christian that it would be better if some of Jesus's lessons were not followed, and you actually care about convincing them, then you should carefully phrase your criticism.

Perhaps that shouldn't be necessary, but if you rank spreading certain opinions higher than being able to spread them in a certain way, then you'll have to choose. I usually choose adjusting my communication to be more effective in spreading the opinion.
