Proverbs 22:24 "Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:"
Proverbs 22:10 "10 Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease."
We can live in peace when we are friends with godly people who act in love and kindness.
The angry person will bring nothing but conflict, we are not required to keep company with these people.
There are those who would attempt to guilt us into remaining in company with ungodly angry people. We have no obligation to maintain friendships with anyone who does not live by the fruit of the Spirit.
When we evangelize we can speak the truth as led by the Holy Spirit to those who are perishing, but we are not required to make friends with those who reject Christ or even claim to be Christians but do not walk by the fruit of the Spirit.
Fruit of the Spirit:
Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
