As for dealing with argumentative people. The Bible talks about a time to speak a time for silence. Let the Holy Ghost be your guide by yielding to it AMEN !

Well if you have tried all that, and you are living in a real situation where it is not you, but another they are attacking ? I think sometimes ,just sometimes we have to face them down, as avoidance is not christian , but a buddhist trait ,rather .If they are natural bullies , not just having a bad moment or two, then we have to show them up , otherwise it is cowardice , not courageous to let them continue .

I hardly ever read a thread that has many many posts because I don't want to read them all-lol I am not even sure if I replied earlier on,don't recall,don't think so? I did read some replies & some were ridiculous,others comical,some less than kind etc,,,,,,,,are you still interested in talking about this? I've heard some people say things like"I say this or that & then walk away',,,,,,,to me,that is being passive aggressive,,,,,if you have to make any statements then thats the need to get the last word in & there is aggression down in there,,,,,,,,,,that is not any way to approach argumentative people,not a Christian way,,,,,,if it is time to kick the dust off your feet then nothing further needs to be said,the opposition is simply not receptive,period I would really like to know a little more if you still want to discuss this,if not I understand,,,,,it has probably been said already! Personally I cannot be bothered with argumentative people,,,,I don't partake of their foolishness & they cannot very well argue with themselves I have said,"If you cannot talk without arguing or debate then you have the wrong person here(me)" But,I would need to know more,,,,,there are times I have "argued" a matter because of extenuating purposes,maybe in someones defense,,,,,,,,,,,,,even then,as long as I keep looking for the Holy Spirit to lead then there really is not an argument,,,,,, difficult question without specifics Love you Sis,Kwik (you can PM me if you want) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is difficult to do, and not pleasant , but if ignored some young and inexperienced people will leave , and bullying creates fear and tension , and needs to be called out . There is in my opinion, a difference between a passsionate exchange of opinions , and controlling the whole thread till the end . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proverbs 15:1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. King James Bible A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
