I keep bumping into the same old attitude every day, and I tend to ignore such behaviour as it rather draining of time and energy.  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.  Thoughts please :)

Well quit getting in my way :24:  unless it's me :blink: in which case I would say to me wipe that smile off
your face and listen to what the lady has to say :thumbsup: ... Because as I understand the issue whoever on
whatever would not realize what they are doing is wrong unless it is intentional in which case changes
the whole scenario! God can use anyone to speak to us if we are willing to hear Him even in those we
might not think God would use.  Love, Steven

Ask God to put a guard over your mouth and to say only what He would have you say.

 

Psa 141:3
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Walk away...no point in getting frustrated and saying something you may regret.

Steven, you're never in my way, so no worries there.  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???"

Can you go a bit further about that " same old attitude " you are encountering? My first thought was "I am right, and they are wrong", but I could be wrong!

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.

No, they don't just pick arguments with me, it seems to be everyone around them, as if they are the one with something to prove...

Well sister you know what scripture says about it. 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.
