Need your help - I got angry!

[Leonard]

You could not speak long of Muhammad without being somewhat critical. Trying to find something nice to say about a child molesting mass murderer is difficult. I understand he had beautiful teeth.......

Once again thanks again, everyone.

Things are not as bad as I think. The entire thread has been deleted (by whom, I don't know) and no one else in my circle of friends has commented on this subject since.

[Guest man]

James 1

¹⁹ So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

²⁰ for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Food for thought.

When someone insults you verbally, whether in person or online, just let it bounce off your shoulder. I know it is easier said than done, but the more you respond to their anger or mocking, the more they have fun getting you riled over nothing. Getting upset only puts fuel on the fire. They are showing their ignorance of what they don’t know. As far as showing them biblical truths, it will prove to be difficult and you will be fighting a losing battle because those who mock, resent being corrected when it comes to spiritual matters. Our job is only to share the gospel (good news) not make them believe. Once they have been told, the ball is in their court. Hen pecking them to get them to believe will only make them resent you more and mock further.

Scripture to grow on

Proverbs 15:12 (NIV)

Mockers resent correction, so they avoid the wise

Mathew 5:11 and 12 (NIV)

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

I've just got angry and I don't just speak in anger, I type in anger sometimes, which is a weakness, I know.

I have just been on Facebook and became angry because a lot of people were making fun of the 'hacking' terrorist attack in London. They didn't seem to care much about the fact that a noble soldier had been brutally murdered - they were more concerned about protecting Islam, and more critical of Christianity, claiming that Christians were the real terrorists. I tried to explain to them about the differences between the Bible and the Koran. They just mocked me. I tried to explain about God, but although my arguments were sound, I was subjected to more and more torrents of abuse. I became angry and asked people if they had actually read the Bible or the Koran, and not just assumed that they knew what was writen.

But, in my anger I accused someone of being a moral coward, a traitor and an imbecile. I've lost a lot of friends now, I know that, but I fear that I may now be a victim of Islamic anger. There are many Muslims in my circle of friends, even though they were not on my friends' list. They commented too, I'm sure. I mentioned the crimes of Islam. I mentioned Mohammed in a critical way.

People have been arrested for criticising Islam on Facebook. I'm still worried about this. At the time, I couldn't help myself.

I quit spending time arguing on fb because of things like you just mentioned. I would wind up arguing with sinners, who would provoke me into saying things I later regretted. They were often true, but not seasoned with salt. They were having a bad influence on me, so I just decided to leave those places. In this country, we have a right to free speech, and that would include the right to attack Islam, but I have no idea about the UK? You can't do anything about what you posted except try to delete it, or outright cancel your fb account? My advise would be to just stop posting there for awhile, and stay away from the debate pages. If you broke the law, perhaps with you staying away, it won't be pursued, but if you didn't, you still said things you wish you hadn't? I used to feel dirty after leaving some of those arguments. Jesus warned us about casting pearls before swine, and that is what you did. Seek the Lord about it, and leave it in God's hands. BTW, why would you have Muslim friends? I wouldn't ok a Muslim to be a fb friend. That was your first mistake.

I have Muslim friends for three reasons:

 

1/ My fb account has existed for around six years. I have only been a born-again Christian for around three.

 

2/ I will not deliberately unfriend people just because I change my views on something. There has to be a good reason, and deliberately unfriending people is provocative and rude. We are meant to avoid the ways of the World but not isolate ourselves from it completely. Jesus mingled with sinners, he didn't ignore them or shun them.

 

3/ My Muslim friends are work colleagues. I don't even believe that they are practising Muslims, just Muslims by heritage and through parenthood. I sincerely believe that they can be saved, but it may take time. Insulting their culture, families and upbringing is not the way to go about it. Plus, I don't know who they know. They may know people who are far more militant and easily offended than they are. I prefer not to irritate them for no reason. It is not wise nor safe to do so. I will not make new friends of Muslims, but existing friends..... well, what do you do?

OK.  I understand that.  How are things going with your problem?  Have they worked themselves out?
