And people that argue and like to argue are not at peace.
I dunno, I can really enjoy a good argument — but then there's not a spirit of "gotcha", but usually at least a respect for the truth and an honest attempt to get at it.
One thing I've found to be particularly helpful is to use a higher scripture:me ration — a good example awhile back was one guy [smvoice] thumping on 2 Timothy 2:15 and rightly dividing the word of God
, ignoring possible different ways of reading the verse (or the context) or different translations… in the end he was silent when he couldn't explain how the single verse could fit the way he was interpreting it fit in-context with the surrounding text.
