Personally, being a Christian isn't always smooth sailing. In fact, sometimes it can be rough. By any situations or by any means, I will never attack or argue with anyone but one thing I will do best is to simply tell them how God had changed me and by any chance, that would give me a moment to speak for Jesus towards that person.
How would you react when facing such situations or how you deal with people in a fair good way?

In real life of believers,should be mature in God's Word how to dealth those people who against you,become enemy,but should love them to pray and have Christ knowledge hoping they are willing to learn..
There are temptations in life since we still in this world,but keep in mind,that you are different,experience Gods love,forgiven,saved by Jesus..Being example to them must shown,give your good testimony,sharing Jesus..Though,some not listen you but you stand God..never give up..

I agree with you, being a christian is not an easy road to take. sometimes when we would be faced with difficult people, we know that we might even lose our temper but somehow we just have to keep it to ourselves and just know that we should just pray for the person who is trying to provoke us. When i accepted christ, somehow i knew that i have changed, i have become more patient, more loving, more forgiving, and i often feel surprised about my reactions! haha

Just me, but I try not to approach anybody thinking they're enemies as that would be counter-productive. We may not be best pals, and they may not be believers, but they're not enemies. I approach those people with friendship and kindness, and try to show I'm a Christian by deeds and actions...and not always with words. (I believe it's true that actions speak louder than words.) Many people get defensive when they think they're being preached at, yet when they see a person being kind, fair, and non-judgemental, they're more open to hearing religious things down the line. Living by example and not just by words alone was Jesus' path, and I think it's a good one:-) Have a wonderful day!

I agree with you, it's our actions to draw people closer to us than just simply expressing our sweet words to them but it's totally different from how we truly act towards them. It is from people's kindness that they will see that most likely they will see God in us as Christians. Thank you for sharing!

Depends on the enemy. If it is someone that you have to deal with, and you know their personality well, then you just have to be able to come up with snappy come backs. Make them look stupid for making you look stupid.
If it is a person you don't have to deal with all of time, then just walk away because they aren't even worth your time and effort.
Eventually, everyone gets what's coming to them. It's called Karma.

This is big question and thank you for making it one on mylot. It is question for us and I think it may be a good question too, for God. I say, it is a question for God because I wonder how can God bring peace to the world? You are right, emulating Jesus is the way and the best way to react to these enemies.
I personally don’t mind people questioning things but our enemies don’t do this with a good heart. They want to argue and can be devious. In Jesus day, many hated him. They wanted to kill him even as a baby. When the ones seeking to do away with him came for him, he told one of his apostles to put away his sword for he had cut off the ear of an aggressor. I feel like this apostle sometimes. The truth is the enemy is satan and is using people to support his cause with attitudes of sarcastic, disrespect, and sometimes anger.

Absolutely true! People themselves aren't really our real enemies, it is Satan himself! All he's doing is to use people's thoughts specially their weaknesses in their lives, from their the real enemy making them slaves of his own selfish ways, to give them confusions over their weakest area in their lives, etc...So, we must be alert of Satan schemes and let's believe that God is greater than our real enemies. Thank you for sharing!
