Untrustworthy insecure people take every passing comment no matter how innocent as a personal insult or slight. Ignore their response to innocent comments and move on, they have no interest in resolving anything or seeing the love in those they wish to diminish.
Our world is full now of these people who love to hate, who love to show contempt when it is not warranted. Because there is contempt in their heart they must dump it on someone and it will always be those who love God.
Because they hate God even when they say they are Christian they will see everything in terms of their hatred of Him. Remember it's not personal to you, it directed at God who lives in you. Let God do your fighting for you, He is better at defending us than we are of defending ourselves because He knows the heart of the one He is dealing with, we can only know their heart in so much as we see their actions.
May the Lord guide you in all your responses and non-responses, keeping you innocent no matter what is thrown at you.
Proverbs 15:1-2 Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
"15 A gentle answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise makes knowledge pleasant,
But the mouth of fools spouts foolishness."
Proverbs 26:4-5
"4 Do not answer a fool according to his foolishness,
Or you will also be like him.
5 Answer a fool as his foolishness deserves,
So that he will not be wise in his own eyes."
A fool will count himself as having won against you if he can make you angry do not oblige him.
