There are narcissists who are committed to misunderstanding you.
Have you ever been in conversation with people who take innocent and even wise comments and turn them around to make them sound foolish in some way?
Our world is full of people like this more than ever before because the devil is twisting the minds of people to be angry over nothing at all.
These people need an enemy to feel superior to, so they choose the person they think they can control. Often wrongly judging that someone needs them so badly, they are willing to accept disrespect to keep them around.
Those who must have an enemy to tyrannize to feel whole operate from illogic and irrational thinking to concoct someone to be against. Hitler was of this sort and every dictator in the world were of this sort.
They have decided to operate a certain way with certain people, it is not an after-thought, or spontaneous, they have chosen a person they want to feel superior to and methodically through overt or even covert means torment this person of choice.
They know inside of themselves they are doing something wrong so they have to keep doing it hoping that at some point their target will blow up making them feel justified in their contempt and rudeness.
I remember a story about a young man on a bus who used his mouth to torment another passenger. The passenger couldn't take it anymore and lunged at the bully with the mouth.,
The bully went home telling his story that he won over a raging person on the bus, making the lunging person into the bully. The truth was that the mouth of the real bully caused anger in the person he attacked with his mouth. The real bully lied to others who did not witness the situation and they believed he was heroic for beating up the bully.
This is classic narcissism, jabbing at someone until they can no longer stand it and then blaming the one who defends themselves for their reaction to the mouth of the bully.
The purpose of the mouth attacks is to cause escalation of our emotions and finally fight so they can portray themselves as the victim. Those who do these things are after only one thing, to appear stronger by baiting others into anger and then playing the victim when the one they attacked with their mouth blows up in frustration.
To fight back when a fool uses their mouth to demean or mock is to become weak without strength. The fool wins when we engage with them in their stupidity. The fool is already weak-minded but we do not have to become like them by responding.
Proverbs 26:4 …3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools! 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be like him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes."
A fool considers himself wise when he has been able to get you to respond to his foolishness or to make you angry or upset. Fools count themselves as having won over you when you answer him according to his foolishness.
Never allow a fool to entice you into becoming like them through idiotic arguing over nothing important.
Matthew 7:6 "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."
Matthew 15:14 "Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
Proverbs 9:7-8 "He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself. / Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you."
This last passage endorses rebukes and chastisement for the wise, in order to know if someone is wise we must know the scriptures and make judgements based on God's Word.
1 Corinthians 3:19
"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
Proverbs 14:7
"Stay away from a foolish man; you will gain no knowledge from his speech."
Our job as born-again believers is to become wise according to God's Word and use that wisdom to guide our relationships and interactions with the world.
Matthew 10:16 "Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves."
1 Peter 3:15
"But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect,"
Our goal is to remain untainted by the world bringing a completely different mentality in our witness, one that does not need to win over anyone but is bold in proclaiming the truth.

Christ Did it all Perfectly and Yet Look how they Treated Him
Christ did everything perfectly, even dying for those who hated Him, and yet look what they did to Him. We can expect the same mentality that was shown to Christ because the devil is still working today the same as he was back then. Only he thinks he won but he has already been defeated by the cross.
Many Parts in the Body of Christ
Everyone has a job to do by the power of the Holy Spirit.
No one in the body of Christ is less than another, no one is insignificant to the body. It is the Holy Spirit in each person who directs our job not people.
1 Corinthians 12:12-27
"12 For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one part, but many.
15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any less a part of the body.
16 And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any less a part of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
18 But now God has arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, just as He desired.
19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 But now there are many parts, but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again, the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
22 On the contrary, it is much truer that the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
23 and those parts of the body which we consider less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor, and our less presentable parts become much more presentable,
24 whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked,
25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another.
26 And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it."
No one in the body of Christ is less than another, no one is insignificant to the body. It is the Holy Spirit in each person who directs our job not people.
1 Corinthians 12:12-27
"12 For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one part, but many.

25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another.
26 And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it."
Believe Nothing and Seek the Holy Spirit
You can't believe anything you see anymore, you can't believe anything you read anymore. You must always ask the Holy Spirit to warn you if something is off. Even pray before believing something new, pray before taking action or passing something on to others.
The devil is so clever and an excellent liar appealing to emotions unless you are continually consulting the Holy Spirit you could become deceived into doing things you would not do if you had all the facts in front of you. The interpretation of the facts is vitally important and God can see things we cannot see.
Matthew 24:24 "
For false christs and false prophets will arise and will provide great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect."
This verse is speaking about false christs and false prophets but it applies to anything false that the devil will use to derail your life and your relationships.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
"The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. / For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,"
1 John 4:1
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world."
Many church attendees have fallen into deep deception for lack of discernment. The first thing we must do is know our Bibles and always consult the Holy Spirit for guidance.
1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,"
