2 Thessalonians 3:6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us (2 Thes. 1:1).
Titus 3:9-11
9But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the Law, because these things are pointless and worthless. 10Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition, 11knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.…
Wow!
Just what I needed to read.
Right now I was so down because I was accused only an hour ago of avoiding discussions and requesting little peace at the dinner table.
Thank you so much for this. I was feeling very down and was blaming myself for not wanting to listen to the never ending discussions.

I would like to more fully explain Ephesians 4:26 King James Version (KJV)
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath
but right now I need to go...but I am happy that the scriptures that I share can impact people!

Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath
Our society give anger a bad name, when ever something goes wrong then a seemingly safe reply is 'don't get angry'. People assume that by not becoming angry they are taking the moral high ground...but that might not be true!
The Bible is not wrong, but there are bad translations.
For example pretend you say something insulting to me (and what you said is obviously not true) it is not wrong for me to become upset (in fact I am told to feel strongly one way or the other), so what is the appropriate response for the anger that I feel? (assuming that your personal safety or the safety of those around you is not being threatened) then biting, kicking, scraching, spitting, and/or name calling is off of the table...in short defuse the situation with calmly as you can words. Now thats over..right? Not for us humans! Common advice is to forget about it, but that is not always the best thing to do. Still using the same scripture as our guide:
26 Be ye angry,///// and sin not:///// let not the sun go down upon your wrath
We have already been made angry (part 1) we have tried not to sin (part 2) I think that now is a good time to reflect on why you are mad, because until you identify what exactly made you mad then nothing can be done. In this example someone is just trying to bad mouth me because I was in front of them. If I constantly am around that person and the bad mouthing me is becoming an everyday thing, then the person needs to be confronted. If the situation is made light of then bring in a third party that is neutral. If the offender schuluffs the first and the second admonition off...
