Relationship or Just Want to be Right

I can fight and argue my way to state that i am totally right and loose the relationship.

Have you heard "I know I'm right and I don't care what other people say..."?
How often we respond and act like this?

Many do not realize until we face the real life.
Having to be right all the time can be an exit door for many good relationships.

What happen to people who always claim to be right?
Often they become self-righteous, judgmental and condemning.

Learning from Jesus is the best example.
Jesus was always right but rarely condemning.
On the hand, Jesus stands for the truth. He became angry with the religious self-righteous... He overturned the tables of the money changers because they are making the house of God into den of robbers.

Romans 15:7
"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God."

We can learn to
accept one another just as Christ accepted us.

We can be right
without severing relationship.

We can learn to
accept one another even when you disagree with their opinions and beliefs.

But
there are times when the relationship causes you to sin and continue in sinful behavior
then
probably you have to part the relationship.

James 5:19-20
"My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."

Question : What would you do when disagreement arise? What should i consider?
Ask "What price are you willing to pay to stand for the truth nothing but the truth"?
Ask "Which one is worth it, "sacrificing truth" or "sacrificing self" ?

John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
