Bible Question: i try to be good to everyone and live the best that i can and it seems everytime i feel better about my spirit and how im growing in christ as everything gets to be ok within a week there is always someone usualy family that starts over any little thing and it upsets me and i dont go around them anymore. i know god says love thy neighbor as thyself. but how do you get those feelings of not wanting to associate with people that degrade you all the time? if i dont go around them or speak to them am i not loving my neighbor as myself? |
Bible Answer: Where does the Bible say we must hang out with those people who degrade us? I'm not sure that it does. Regarding those who mistreat us, the Bible teaches us to love them, pray for them, do good to them, etc. But does it say we have to hang out with them, i.e. spend a lot of time being around them? It may, but offhand I can't think of any place where it does. |
