Is it not beneficial to those who sin, to have their sins confronted? As it has been mentioned in this thread, sometimes people are not even aware of their transgressions against others. Aren't we actually helping them a lot when we point out their offenses to them.

The idea of just "forgiving" everybody all the time seems cowardly and ultimately not very beneficial to the body of Christ. How else will some people become aware of their sinful behavior if they are never confronted?
