Hethsa, it sounds to me lime you were trying to defend God.. The truth being told. God doesn't need defending. In the future, ask the person what all of this has to do with me(you).. Then refer them to scripture.. If they are truly interested in the reason behind your faith, then tell them your testimony and the gospel. But, as far as anything more. Thats their battle with God... If they aren't interested in salvation, what did Jesus say? He said to walk away. He also saidv it would be worse for them in tbe judgement than for sodom. Argueing and fighting does not bring glory to God. We always need to discern the spirit of those we interact with.. Remembering that we are different and it should be very apparent to anyone that sees and hears us. We are sheep among the wolves. If you are not being persecuted in some sense, then you need to ask yourself how itbis that you being a sheep are fitting in so comfortably amo gst the wolves.. Keep up the good fight my friend..
