How do I deal with liberal outrage?

After the abortion referendum here I felt very upset and angry. I now bring up the subject by saying how upsetting lt is that the people of Ireland have accept this barbarity. Recently a woman I met on the train turned on me with a tirade. She told me she was a good catholic but had noproblem with abortion. I said a silent prayer and let her go on and on. The train was crowded and you would hear pin drop. When she had run out of steam I reaponded giving her the expected number of abortions that are planned in our natioal maternity. She had no response. She then changed the subject. I sympathised with her ln the death of her husband some years before. We parted civilly. I pray for her since. Im glad I did not respond to her anger. Anger resolves nothing we must speak the truth even if it makes people angry wigh us.

 

Good for you, Mary.

I would be angry all t time if i would help.

But it doesn't.

So I don't.

It only makes things worse.

 

Ireland has recently implemented an immigration plan to deal with a declining population and, what does it do almost simultaneously? It legalises abortion! Satan will most definitely be amused. 'Let's have a load of Syrian 'refugees' living in Ireland while the Irish murder their own babies.'

 

RW, like everyone else has said, keep calm.

Ask thoughtful questions. "Why do you feel that way", "What do you think about xxx?" Liberals will frequently back themselves into a corner because so many of their arguments lack substance.

Know some facts/numbers! Logic confounds liberals because they are soooo emotional. Pose some of your facts in a question format.... i.e. "So if abortion is so good for women then why do xx% of them get depressed afterwards?"

I kind of envision this whole type of interaction like Jessie Watters on Watter's World. If you haven't seen any of his video clips, they are highly amusing!

 

Sounds like the unfolding of the New World Order Masonic plan

 

In my own life experience, we as Christians need to make darn sure we are without grave sin in our life before we have the confidence we can change others for the better in Christ Jesus. This we know from exorcists who are quick to point out that demons will point out our own flaws as we try to help others worse off. In my own journey, I have found that my own prayer life must be solid and if so, I can effect others, if not grace does not flow to others no matter how slick our words are. I once heard to 'speak always and if necessary use words'. Otherwise all we do is argue and words have no effect.

 

St James said that if we convert just one soul we blot out loads of our own sins and guarantee our own salvation!!

Just imagine; what a promise!!


James 5:20

Restoring a Sinner
19My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

 

I’ve forgotten all about this Padraig....

Wow...what a great reminder!

 

Such a good response!
Seldom do I feel as the I can make good statistical response as you did and if I do, it’s only because the Holy Spirit has dropped a bomb into my head...and I think to myself....wow, where did that though come from! Later I laugh at myself when I think back and realize that it wasn’t me at all.

This Christmas I knew I would be challenge in this way....and I was. Before attending the gathering where I had expected a confrontation, the Holy Spirit gave me the one and only answer He knew would need. He showed me only hours beforehand what I needed to say in the face of a hurt, hostile, angry wounded soul....it was so simple...He showed me ....told me....what to say....

I love you.

I kept that though in my head and after being berated by this individual...who btw...I love....

I left with my last comment....
I love you.

If he remembered nothing else said that night, those were the parting words that he didn’t argue...

Not sure if I made a convert, at least not that night....but I left him with love. It’s all I really had to offer that I knew he wouldn’t reject.

 

Thanks everyone for all your help and advice, I’m at college now waiting for my new class to begin.

Nothing has happened yet, but I am preparing myself to be ready for if/when something does occur.

Hoped everyone had a good Christmas and New Years by the way.

 

Perfect response Beth! It may take doing this several times but it works. Doing this will sear their conscience if they speak badly about you.
Proverbs 25
[21] If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink: [22] For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee.
