God does not deal in theory...my point was that in THEORY,
saints should be able to iron out their differences WITHOUT
resorting to worldly solutions...in THEORY, saints are 
SUPPOSED to live HOLY, but it doesn't always happen. 
That's the only reason I use the word THEORY...it's a 
relative term.

I also have to wonder how much of a saint a person is when
they can't see their wrongdoing, and have enough God in
them to want to correct a wrong...

St. Matthew 18:
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee,
go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:
if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 
16 But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one
or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word may be established. 
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the
church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be
unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

Sainthood is GONE at this point, and he is as a regular
person...take him to COURT!!
