I've got a problem I'd like help with. I have a contentious spirit. Not in that some evil spirit is on me. In that that's my personality.

1.It could be people like to stir up controversy.
2.It could be people are arrogant.
3.It could be people are tired of people not obeying truth,and lash out kind of harshly.
The only thing we can do is give it to God,or only quote scriptures and kind words,which does not make sense for we have a choice on how we act so really it is up to us.
If someone is like that then they enjoy it,or they are fed up with people and want to lash,but most likely they were like that before they came to the truth,and they struggle with it,but still we have a choice not to act that way,although we might all act like that but some people keep it more on the mellow side,where some people almost go at it with a fury.
For the most part I believe a lot of people enjoy it stemming from arrogance,because they like to win,and for the least part some people are fed up with people and become angry about it,which is still from the flesh.
Basketball season starts,and everybody is excited that this could be the year that their team could take the championship,and be number one,the winners,and out of all the teams that played,they beat them all and came out on top,and they delight in it.
It seems like some people have that attitude that claim Christ,that of all the denominations that go against each other in their interpretations,and beliefs,they have the right interpretation,the truth,and they are the champions,and number one,the winners,and they delight in it.
There is too much flesh among people that claim Christian,and are people arguing for the sake of arguing,because we're number one,or I am number one,that it blinds them to actually see the truth,for they stick with their interpretation,and fight for it tooth and nail,all the while some go right against scriptures,but they still defend their position,as if their arrogance will not let them see it,or they want to believe it that way,that they will ignore everything presented to them that goes against what they believe.
While some people will give heed and not be so stubborn it appears as if the majority will stick to their interpretation,and not give heed to anything that passes their way,as we can see with all the different denominations,and interpretations,concerning Christianity,which there is no conflicts in the Bible,and only one truth,but with all those different denominations,and interpretations,and all those people who claim Christ have that many varying opinions it would seem like it would not be so wide of beliefs,which goes to show that there is a lot of arrogance,which is the same as the world,they align themselves to a certain group and belief,and then fight tooth and nail for it,and it seems that is what a lot of people that claim Christianity do.
We're the winners,we're number one,rings loudly in the world,and can effect people that claim Christ too.
