I'll Let the Bible Thump Itself :)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. (Gal. 5:22) “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment. ‘But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, “Raca”, is answerable to Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, “You Fool” will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Matt 5:21-22) A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense. (Prov. 19:11) He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. (Prov. 17:9) Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you. (Eph. 4:31-32) If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. (Gal. 5:15) See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. (Heb. 12:15) Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. (Gal. 6:1) Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. I urge you therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. (2 Cor. 2:7-8) Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Eph. 4:29) My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. (James 1:19) Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you to fear the Lord. Whoever of you who loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn from evil and seek peace and pursue it. (Ps. 34:11-14) My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one. (John 10: 27-30) This is the testimony. God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; He who does not have the Son of God does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12) When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all angels with Him, He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. The the King will say to those on the right, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.” Then He will say to those on His left, “Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Then they will go to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. (Matt. 25:31-46) Let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brothers way. (Rom. 14:13)

I don't believe in ARGUING one's faith. We all can state what we think and believe, as we all have that right, and we don't have to agree, as we all have free will and choice as well. When I was an unbeliever, I had many who tried to force feed their beliefs on me, instead of just laying out what they believed on the table, for my inspection, to believe for myself or not. I will never shy away from stating what I believe, and I will always elaborate on it IF asked. But to argue it "for me" goes against the basic fundamentals of everything I believe and seems pointless and futile. Often I will make a post somewhere, stating what I believe to be truth, and then just walk away so as not to be drawn in to defending what I've said. There's really nothing to defend. It's is what it is. My belief. Nothing to argue about. If someone can show err in my belief based on scripture, I am all ears. Other than that, I choose to believe God and His Word over man's opinion anyday! But's that's just me. I'm not forcing my beliefs on anyone. If one doesn't want to read em, they can just bypass my post. All is well. :)
