What does the Bible say about arguing?

That's quite a list, angels.  I had no idea God had so much to teach us about avoiding anger and argument.  It's a constant struggle for me.

Mg, we all struggle with those things everyday ,if somebody would say they don't then struggle with those things , they  don't speak the truth.

We don't want to argue but it happens,a good rule is to realize you need 2 people to argue ,so if you hold off who has the other person to argue with?

For the sake of unity, I will agree with you.

 

Einheit Erste 

 

 

If a person brings a different gospel other then through Jesus Christ,we do have to defend that  truth at all cost without arguing about it because that person will not be able to understand the truth unless God is showing that to the person through His Holy Spirit, you are not the Holy Spirit,you are the sower, you sow the seed..

If it's about when the rapture will happen,that's not a matter of Salvation ,you see what I mean?

Always speak the truth with love for the person with a different opinion, Jesus will still love that person so why not you?

Please stop being sarcastic..

Paul reasoned with the Jews and reasoned with the philosophers in the market place in Athens.  Acts 17.  There is no harm in debating a subject, and we even have  a section for that.  The problem comes when there are personal attacks, especially when they are bitter or condemning.  We should be open to reasoning with each other with kindness and gentleness.  

But I rarely stick around to do even that.  Sometimes I learn weeks later how the thread progressed.

 Not to be "argumentative" with you or the writers as gotquestions.org - HA! - but not everything in the Bible is literal.  The Bible is the literal truth but contains much figurative language and much that cannot be taken at face value and without context.  Jesus said that he wanted to take Jerusalem "under his wing" as a "hen".  That doesn't mean Jesus is a chicken.

As a moderator at another forum, I'm dealing with a young man who takes isolated scriptures literally and out of context.  He blames God for him not having his "dream job" and says that he is angry at God.  He just cited to me yesterday about 20 verses that taken literally would seem that God is to be our Cosmic Butler.  I've have to coach him down from that "literally give me everything I want" mindset.

For example, he said that Paul said that "God will supply all your need according to his riches in Christ Jesus" and that should mean that God should give him financial success. He is taking that TOO literally and without studying the entire passage too what those needs are.

 

I disagree, everything in the Bible in literal.  It is fact and full of God's truth.  Such as when you mention us being His wings, it means under His protection. That is a literal fact.  Everything from "In The Beginning, to Amen in Revelation is truth and again literal.
