Hi everyone, I need some help with something. This is something like my other post but its different. I need advice on what to do about a former friend who hates me and that is trying to get my friends to hate me too. What should I do?
All help is appreciated.
__________________ Christ commanded us to die to ourselves everyday, Are you dead yet? Interpretation: When you look at your live today, you are living a sinful life, full of temptation. It's human nature to sin and give in to temptation, but through Christ, we can get over that. Therefore, I tell you today to die to yourselves, die to your earthly life, your sinful flesh, and give that to Christ, he will make you clean, he will give you new life. |

Fires grow if you keep feeding them, and this person will feed off of anything you say to them. Ingore them and they will go away (this friends; meaning stop bothering you in this matter). A innocent man doesn't need to defend himself either and a closed mouth catches no flies.. Just ignore and see what happens from there 
Grace & Peace,
Lyle

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | Id have to agree with the person above. Friendships are precious and very important. If you really want to be their friend.. I would suggest just being nice to them. Also.. if it is this groups goal to just get people mad at you to feel good about themselves it would be best to not let them know it bothers you.. have a possitive attidude and remember the love you can have with god as well.
Hope for the Best |

Reps: 684 (power: 0) | | | Here's my advice, I've been in this situation before and I know how stubborn some people can be. The first thing you need to do is apologize. Think for a while about why they "hate" (hate is a very strong word) you. Even if you didn't do anything wrong, in their eyes, they have been wronged in some way. Apologize for any hurt that you may have caused your friend intentionally or unintentionally. Let your friend know that you will always be there for him/her whether or not you remain friends (and keep that promise). Then, let it be. Let your friend have his/her space until they are ready to return to you. If you do this, then you will have done all that you can do. If you're a Christian I'd advise you to pray for your friend so that they won't be angry anymore because eventually anger destroys us. I'll keep you and your friend in my prayers!
