Have you ever gotten into a situation wherein no matter what you do your auditor is only hearing what they want to hear and not what you are saying? You try to rephrase what you say and couch your words with more pleasing terms but to no avail.
What do you do? Well maybe that person just does not want to hear you and chances are they never will be able to, so just leave it at his feet and move on. But that is not so easy to do. About ten months ago I got into one such argument and it damaged an already badly fractured relationship. To my dismay I had no clue I could be so villainous when gazing at myself through someone else's eyes. The sad thing is that my motivations were simply good intentions.
When our Saviour was put before Pilate and was asked, "Are you the King of the Jews?" I believe he was a no win situation. He could not do otherwise in responding to such nomenclature than to put the answer back to his accuser. He was already convicted; the rest he lay in his father's hands. "So you say!"
