If anyone comes to you and attempts to rage and intimidate you for not thinking like them, get away, you are dealing with a "Hitler" type.
Those who will not allow any thoughts spoken from others they do not like, are deeply demonic.
One of the devil's most used tactic is to shame anyone who brings scripture to the discussion. He hates God and he hates God's word, so he works to silence believers through intimidation, mocking and lies.
Anyone who allows it is a flying monkey, in other words they affirm the narcissist tactics by their silence. They have a fear of man instead of a dedication to God and principles.
When we stand by and watch a devil harm a brother in Christ without defending our brother, we are affirming the narcissist's vitriol.
1 John 4:20
"If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen."
1 Peter 1:22
"Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,"
Psalm 82:4
"Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
Romans 12:9
"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good."
1 John 3:14
"We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death."
We know there is no love when someone rages refusing to allow others to speak in order that his false doctrine prevails.
We know there is no salvation when someone rages and refused to answer the question; "have you been born again." A born-again believer will answer that question with pleasure and joy boldly without anger.
A person who rages at the question does not know what salvation is and is attempting to hide their ignorance by raging. Rage is a diversion to avoid answering and make onlookers think we did something wrong because the person raged. It is a very common tactic of the devil.
If someone rages because they were asked a question it is because they don't know the answer and are angry that they might have to submit in answering.
To the narcissist a question that they cannot answer, in their mind, shows them weak if they submit with an answer.
Ephesians 5:21-6:4
"21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God."
Everyone in the body of Christ is commanded to submit to others regularly, its what love is all about.
Ephesians 5:21: "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. "
1 John 4:8: "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. "
Corinthians 13:13: "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love."
What does love look like?
1 Corinthians 13:4–8a "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth."
Narcissists rejoice when they have forced someone to back down because of their rages. This is not love, it is also not love to allow only their own opinion to be spoken freely while diminishing others to keep the favored alpha dog status.
When we read about love in the Bible we see it is opposing anything resembling the rage of a narcissist.
Brothers and Sisters keep looking up, we are going to encounter more of this raging as the end nears. Let us not be guilty of becoming like the ragers. We must speak the truth boldly but not be drawn into the narcissist trap of fighting back, we are commanded not to throw our pearls in front of swine.
Matthew 7:6 " 6 Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces. "
When we discover we have been engaging with a narcissist or group of narcissists we must remove ourselves and avoid them.
