This is always unacceptable behavior as adult.
Adults have many words and strategies to have conversations during a conflict. This should never be one of them. Arguments occur because one person is forcing the other to believe in their opinion and the person disagrees while ignoring the other persons
belief. As a Christian it is your everyday responsibility to always choose the best decision even if it means allowing each other space to think.
The Wastful Spirit
How many items in your closet and shelf right now that you have not worn , nor looked at ??
Many items.
You should buy things for yourself and others.
Purchasing items you dont need can also manuever you into the wrong path that day, week, month , and year. In many ways wasteful spending can hinder your life even when having plenty. A Chrisitian does not waste good resources just because you can.

When exploring another persons information you will never have an accurate understanding. The reason people do things that do not make sense to your thoughts. Your also invading someone else privacy. You will be responsible for replying the story.
Allow everyone their right to healthy privacy. When its your turn you will hope for healthy privacy too.
