Sure. But I won't take 'because I care about you' as a reason for street preaching.
Perhaps it is the real reason, perhaps it isn't.
But since we can't read their minds or look into their hearts, the charitable thing to do would be to take them for their word and assume the best. Doesn't mean we have to believe what they are preaching, it just means we give people the benefit of the doubt when we have no proof to the contrary.
Just MHO.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
