Good Day, Friends; Today we are quoting a New Testament scripture with a brief explanation. Romans 12:18 (KJV), " 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men."
When the Apostle, Paul, offered that teaching, he made it clear that while we should try to get along with everyone, there are some persons who we can not get along with. That is why Paul said, "If It Be Possible..."
We use our discernment to recognize such persons and once we at least make an attempt to be friendly and to share God's message with them and that offer is rejected, we move on knowing that we at least tried. You may also wish to read Matthew 7:6 (KJV) for further insight. May God Bless.
