But is ignorance really the best policy? Especially for the argument seeker in question? Should we not instead confront the matter and try to help the person, who probably doesn't want the help to begin with. I am interested in everyone's answers.

Because as I understand the issue whoever onwhatever would not realize what they are doing is wrong unless it is intentional in which case changesthe whole scenario! God can use anyone to speak to us if we are willing to hear Him even in those wemight not think God would use. Love, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to clarify, I'm not talking about arguing back, but rather pointing out that: 'You really like to provoke arguments, don't you? Why is that???"

Thoughts please Blessings I think the most gracious thing you can do is post all of the Christian material and verses that you can regarding this and tell them you will be leaving then just back away.Tell them to have a nice day.It takes courage but it is the most Christian ethical thing to do.

Still, sometimes what " seems " to be, is not always the case. Examine yourself first, amen ? If your emotions and flesh are in check with the Holy Spirit, then approach with sincerity, love, kindness, patience, and for the good of the person. Amen ?EDIT: Our burden is for those we love.
