I would follow the Lord's advice from... Matt 5:23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. IF you're not able to be reconciled then you should follow His Procedure from... Matt 18:15 “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. IF on the other hand, you're referring to a disagreement with an unbeliever or a non-christian, then you're left to your own devices for the most part. I can recall a few more verses for reference but it's pretty clear the Lord is making Suggestions and not issuing Commands. Matt 5:25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny. Also... Matt 10:16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Of course, all of these thoughts are coming from me, while sitting in a nice, comfy chair where it's a little easier to be objective. But I have dealt with some difficult people in my time. My best advice to pray about it, pray often and pray with great earnest. One bit of advice that was given to me is to pray with your adversary, while holding hands and facing each other with your heads bowed. This gives both of you your best chances for an outcome on which our Lord will Smile. God bless you in your efforts. We'll all be praying for you. Bill |
