A Person convinced against his or her will is of the same opinion still.
I have read posts for a long time and I now the ones not to read! This Quote is what has happened on DC for as long as I been in this. It’s like telling a person that he or she cannot sin anymore. AS John writes 1John 3:9 No one who is born of god practices sin, because his seed abides in him; and He cannot sin, because he is born of GOD. Most people will react to this you don’t know what I did this morning or something like this. They are sin conscious not God conscious. You will not convince them of this. It means they do not believe they are one with CHRIST!!!
So, most posts are from people justifying what they believe and because of the brainwashing of the media and the way we were programed that is a person first responds. So, we forgive them and pray they awake to the truth or release the to God who is the loving judge of us all.
To tell people that when they got saved they became one with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and became a son or daughter of God with all the gifts of the Spirit and can do the same works as Christ did and more is some time hopeless, because of the brainwashing, and we release them to the loving hand of Christ.

Why prove to a man he is wrong? Is that going to make him like you? Why not let him save face? He didn't ask for your opinion. He didn't want it. Why argue with him? You can't win an argument, because if you lose, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it. Why? You will feel fine. But what about him? You have made him feel inferior, you hurt his pride, insult his intelligence, his judgment, and his self-respect, and he'll resent your triumph. That will make him strike back, but it will never make him want to change his mind. A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.
