"...he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is crazy over discussions and controversies about words which give rise to envy, quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured suspicions, and persistent wranglings...blinded to all knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 6:4-5)
This is what I see on TV over and over with regard to our political candidates. Most everything the network media says about them are based on suspicion. These "ill-natured suspicions" often blinds them "to all knowledge of the truth".
All of us should consider whether our thoughts and opinions about others are based in truth or just "ill-natured suspicions".
I learned years ago that I could get "crazy over discussions" that usually led to "quarreling" and I continue to fight that craziness from time to time.
The Apostle Paul went on the say to his friend Timothy...
"...godliness is gain, when associated with contentment..." (1 Timothy 6:6)
I rarely, if ever, change another persons mind by debating a topic so I have quit. It is enough for me to have "contentment" in what I believe to be true, sharing the basis for my views from time to time as I await the return of Jesus who will settle all differences of opinion.
"...for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until the day of His return." (2 Timothy 1:12)
