Arguments are useful in logically, emotional and experientially navigate steps to analyze the positives, negatives and impacts of any question worthy of investigating. That having been said the outcome of these important processes are rarely going to be determined by overwhelming majority. Why, because the logic of sufficient opinion or evidence on both sides of the topic have adequate gravity to represent both ideas as logical recourse. However one idea must prevail meaning that in a court of nine the outcomes will typically reside in the 6-3, 5-4 range than the weighty majority of clear cut arguments of superiority.

This worldly acceptance is not championed in the Church, for we are not governed by a council of 9 but by ONE Holy and Righteous God who doesn’t ask but commands along the lines of His defined righteousness. We as believers struggle with this worldly, desire filled process and misunderstand the Sovereignty of God, His anointed and therefore believe arguing your point as in the world is common place or right. In God’s economy there is someone, HIM in charge and not only is He in charge but we are called put aside SELF, deny those internal urges, wants or reasons and serve the purposes of His Glory and Will.

As with any situation this may at first appear unfair by the opinion of those who belief that there own will and desires should be considered before such direction is proffered. This is an irremovable conflict without the Omnipotence of God and a Choice by each believer to either submit to God’s Will or follow their own. The logic is overwhelming that arguing with God is not going to produce desirable outcome. Does God listen, of course He is the most Loving Father. However, there is a magnitude difference in listening to and capitulating to created beings when He is the only Creator. The energy is exacerbated when these same expectations are ignored in dealing with God’s Anointed, Prophets or Husbands. As they are not God, there may be a reluctance to heed their direction which is wrong thinking. Scripture is clear that these men are His representatives and ought be honored with similar respect.

Since arguments are more likely to be resolved in the center of possible outcomes rather than in majority ruling there are likely unless mature those who are going to disagree or be unhappy with the decisions of arguments. Someone is going to for optics purposes win and the other lose. But that is the definition of fairness associated with discussion, reflection, argument and repair. In Christianity and living by and for the Will of God to His Glory there are no losers or winners but only winners. This challenges the thinking of those freshly come to faith and is natural acid to the stomachs of those who continue in a list of outcomes with which they are going to be satisfied. That presents natural potential for abrasion in the Body which must be managed with the augmentation of God’s Holy Spirit fruits. Those seeking their own will and seeking the abrasive nature of sharpening Iron will often regrettably culminate in worldly operations and cause emotional upset or strife within the body. Until we are all comfortably certain in our submission to God’s Will these will continue to provide potential upset in the Body of Christ.

Pastors, Husbands and those seeking God’s Will do not wish to Dominate you into doing that which you don’t accept as best according to your own will. As a Pastor, Preacher, Teacher, Evangelist and Man I have limited patience with those who wish to argue, Dominate, Diminish, coerce or strongarm me with arguments pent on achieving their own will. I desire to be like Christ and be gentle, patient and long suffering with those who question God’s Will for their lives or challenge my anointing, decisions or suggestions but at some point if this is standard dispensation or expectation I will seek council elsewhere. I was not sent to argue and find it repulsive to my own health and well being. That does not mean I wish to compel, order or Dominate Believers, but when it is consistent and repetitive I must then understand that there is contempt, lack of reverence or a mismatch between God’s Will as I see it and a believer who wishes to argue for their own avenues.

Christianity is all about Choice. That means we both get to make the choice to proceed or depart. If argument persists I guarantee you unless God intervenes and tells me to remain in the relationship as Pastor I will step away and allow you to go achieve your objectives without concern for my opinion, counsel or continued wheel spinning to win or lose as is the world expectation. Please if you hold me in contempt I hope that you would agree it is better for you to find someone for whom you have clear lines of respect as you are unlikely to respect, Trust or champion my direction. Just as there is choice in each interaction there is also love. The outcome that sees us both love and loved is the best one for me.
