At times people are going to disagree with you regarding God's Word.
They will question the way you say God is leading you and they may even challenge your faith in God. At times like these it's pointless to argue...you will never persuade someone that God has spoken to you by out arguing them. But God is not interested in how right we are...He's interested in how obedient we are.
Only God can convince others of the veracity of His word to you. If we will allow God to vindicate us in His time, in His way, a time will come when the wisdom of your choice will be evident.
We bring no honor to God by winning a dispute in His name. But we reflect a Christ-like character when we demonstrate patience to those who mistreat us or misunderstand our motives.
God's command is not that we win arguments, but that we are kind and forgiving when others do mistreat us.
2 Timothy 2:24
And the servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient.
