That's a powerful insight, Rasp. I agree. Thanks for sharing. quote:
ORIGINAL: raspberry331 I have noticed that in some of the forum rooms here and other places are an atmosphere of 'attack' instead of persuasion. Proverbs 25:15 tells us that "Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone. " And yet some are always on a personal attack to force their point of view on those they wish to persuade to look at the topic with their spiritual eyes. So remember when you are under conviction that your belief is true to God's Word use gentle and loving persuasion over personal attack so that you will not drive the unbeliever away. Instead draw them toward the Knowledge of God.
