And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. – 2nd Timothy 2:24-26 (NIV)
People are not changed by arguing but by repenting.
The answer for arguments and stubborn objection is not more arguments, convincing reasons, or strict logic but a change of heart and only God can do that.
This works on ourselves, too. Having trouble believing? Ask God to first change your heart (your “want to”) then the mind will come right along!
