People are always subject to arguments. Even My beloved sometimes argue over the Scriptures. The truth is that arguments usually do not bear good fruit.. One party will have to give in to the other and neither parties are winners. Often wounding words are spoken in the heat of an argument.
Recognize that when you get into an argument with another person, you are usually trying to prove your point because you think you are right. There is only One Who is always right and that is Me.
When you try to prove your point in a matter, you are in pride.
What should you do then when a person disagrees with you? I faced many disagreements when I walked on Earth: disagreements with My disciples, lawyers, scribes, and Pharisees. I knew that what they argued was not based on truth. I never tried to prove My point. I only relayed the truth. I want you to speak the truth in love, and you can only do this when you are not trying to prove your own point.
EPHESIANS 4:11-15
