Remember also that ridicule is not argument.
You who are young will see many things that will try your courage and test your faith. All of the mocking does not come from outside of the church. Let me say that again: all of the mocking does not come from outside of the church. Be careful that you do not fall into the category of mocking.
But whenever people mock and that's all they do I know they don't know how to deal with it intellectually it's a because if you can if you can demolish an argument intellectually why would you use mockery mockery make make you feel good but it is not persuasive you you have not used reason you have used insult and the like but it is it is not it is not an argument.
