i happened to have a bible with me so i thought id pull a few things out that support my point about the need for you to be less confrontational:
"blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" Matthew 5:7
"blessed are the peacemakes:for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9
"but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:39
This is an especially important one:
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you;" Matthew 5:43-44
"But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" Matthew 6:15
"Judge not, that ye be not judged" Matthew 7:1
and all i did was read the first 10 chapters of only one Gospel, will carry on later after my lecture if you'd like?
also I'd be interested joe to find out what thread of christianity you follow?
