There will always be people that differ. Sometimes those differences can be from church doctrine, or even church traditions, or the traditions grandpa or grandma, or mom and dad instilled upon their children. While differences exist, it's important to allow people to be. Yahavah, does this. Yahavah allows people to choose and make their decision every single day, with the breathe of life within their lungs. Will a person serve and look faithfully to him, or not faithfully look towards him. There are many people whom are passionate, but there are many people who will literally hate you and you never even know it, there will be people that just want to harass. On websites like this, while I love it being an open forum, and thankful that the Admins have allowed me the extension of being here as long as I have for the past 4 years, with many topics, made and topics posted. You have to be careful not to fall into the temptations of the flesh to desire to get even with people because I believe there may be the issue of people do not know how to communicate, and therefore they may respond the way they do. There was time in my life while I was on drugs, (which was in the last four years which I am currently on 3 months of soberity) I came on here and was not acting rightly. It's hard to deal with some people, and the way they talk to you, and disregard many of the things you may have presented. Some people just want to be right about a certain topic and dominate, I am no stranger to my flesh desiring to dominate, but what about the Spirit? While some say it's wrong it wrong to ignore people on here, (it's an option). How do you handle people with differences, when people respond a certain way, it makes me not want to engage with them, unless they are doing so in a proper manner and engaging the conversation and not looking to be right in any certain way. How do you handle them? For myself I just simply use the ignore button. Because we are on a forum, which has the word "Christian" in it, but that doesn't mean everyone is going to act Christ like, and that can make a conversation very difficult in my opinion. I just wanted to see how other people handle it.
I remember sometimes it good to just remain silent. Sometimes there is a movement to speak. In the end, it's where the individual heart will be at the end of life, did one have faith and did they love. As long as it is possible on your part live in peace with everyone, but sometimes its hard to have peace when you are engaging with a person whom, miscommunicates, or just disregards the things you say. All the best thank you for the responses ahead of time.
P/s in the end: It's individuals who choose what they believe, it's not a group collective, though group collectives exist that doesn't make everything they say the right thing, and that is why I encourage people, never trust me, or anything that I post on this website. Go and read the bible for yourself, even study it, but most people do not like that, and that is why so many bibles gather and collect dust on the shelves.
