On the internet, a troll’s posts are meant to offend. The goal: to spark anger and start arguments.
What’s a Christian to do?
Look to Christianity Today and Crosswalk for wise and memorable advice:
“Thou shalt not feed the trolls . . .
Thou shalt not troll . . .
Love thy trolls.”
It lines up with the Bible–
Proverbs 26:4 (NIV)
Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be just like him.
Romans 12:18
As far as it depends on you,
live at peace with everyone.
Matthew 5:44
Love your enemies and
pray for those who persecute you.
Let’s do it God’s way.
Teach us, Lord God, to pray first and watch our words,
in Jesus’ name.
