"If you are using the Bible to hurt people…" Oh how silly!

Have you ever seen a meme on Facebook that says something like "If you are using the Bible to hurt people you are using it wrong"?  Those who post it seem to use it as a way to deflect criticism of sinful or evil behavior.  This kind of goes right along with the whole Kumbaya Jesus belief.  

I would respectfully disagree.  The Bible tells us that one of it's uses it for correction.
 

2 Timothy 3:16-17(NKJV)

16All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 

17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

I think this example from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians provides a great example to refute the FB meme. 

2 Corinthians 7:8-11(NKJV)

8For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. 

9Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. 

10For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. 

11For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 

Notice that Paul addresses the whole "hurt" thing by explaining that the sorrow (hurt) was a necessary part of the whole process of repentance, and repentance leads to salvation. 

Seems pretty clear to me.
