@HoneyDew 's post. I wanted to take some time and point out specific things that seem no different from what I hear non-believers say but the Word will always do a better job than I ever could so
thanks man for saving me the effort and redirecting me to HIS authority
.
1 Timothy 2:1-3
King James Version
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
2 Timothy 2:23-25
23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and
that they may come to their senses
and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to
do his will.
Proverbs 15:1
A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
15 A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.
James 3:17
King James Version
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
