Is it wrong to argue?

Do all disagreements have to end up in arguments?

How often do your disagreements end up in arguments?  Rarely  Often  Always

Pride leads to contention Only by pride comes argument Proverbs 13:10 (The Bible)

Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples, "What were you arguing about on the road?" But they kept silent, for on the road they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. So he sat down and called the twelve. He told them, "If anyone wants to be first he must be last of all and servant of all." Then he took a little child and had him stand among them. He took him in his arms and said to them, “Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.“ Jesus ( The Bible)

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Calling a little child forward, he had him stand among them. Then he said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus (The Bible )

The Stick & The Rubber-band

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good life that his works are done in humility born of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and rivalry in your hearts, stop boasting and lying against the truth. That kind of wisdom does not come from above. No, it is worldly, self-centered, and demonic. For wherever jealousy and rivalry exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil. However, the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good fruits, and without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. James (The Bible)

It’s okay to Disagree ` It’s disruptive to Argue It’s highly mature to Debate
