As I said, I don’t disagree with you in principle, but, the question is, “How much guff should I put up with?”
Now, we are down to the brass tacks.
I’m thinking metaphorically, especially in this age. In the gospel times, people were more likely to slap one another (for example, when Paul met with the Sanhedrin and he called the chief priest, whom he didn’t recognize, a whitewashed wall) and it wasn’t EEEEK an assault and battery case as today.
Today, it would be more like being called names, snubbed, belittled, that sort of thing. To help counter that would be the perspective, derived from the Holy Spirit, that the people may simply be reacting blindly without truly understanding. That God still loves them so much that you are willing to be His cheek, so to speak, for the sake of a possible gospel opening.
