conflict resolution

[sonworshiper]

Wow. . .conflict management. . . What a concept!



I think, to me, it would depend on what exactly the conflict is. If it's a differing of opinion, even on Biblical issues, there can often be room for even a heated discussion and disagreement. (don't ya think?) If it's over sin--well then. . .the Bible could definitely win out there! If it's cuz someone doesn't like piercings and tats, well, that's a personal opinion and to me just doesn't matter at all. . . . If it's on a misunderstanding, if (like me) it would eat at you until it's resolved, then you just have to jump on in and bring it up to clarify things.



In my family growing up, there was one way--my parents' way, and there was no give there. In our family here, we disagree and have discussions--although not all that heated. I think our home is pretty healthy when it comes to that. Some things I've learned over the years, you (I) just have to "let go". . .cuz idiscussing or arguing just isn't going to change anyone's anything.



For one woman that I had a conflict with, I totally let her "have it". I did not give her an inch and on a certain subject (you could consider it a matter of purity) I will not budge. I'd argue, disagree, or have conflict with many people, depending on their opinions on some subjects.



Sometimes I think that as Christians, we're taught far too often that we have to "turn the other cheek" -- after all, Jesus did too, right? He also overturned the tables in the temple, because it was, well, wrong. Righteous anger.



My little rant. . .



Blessings.
