Disassociation

[The_Augustinian]

There’s a person who I would rather not speak to or associate myself with. If I could help it, I would honestly not see this person until Judgement Day.

Is this correct? I don’t wish this person ill-will, I just don’t want to be associated with them for certain reasons… What is the Christian response?

 

[theMutant]

It is normal and natural to encounter people with whom we do not get along. As long as you do not wish harm or any other bad thing to this person, not wanting to associate with him is not necessarily ill will. If you find yourself in a situation where you have to associate with this person, say some silent prayers for patience and grace to endure. Keep God in your thoughts and He will help you to deal with it. Other than that, there is not requirement that you should have to associate with someone.
