As followers of Christ, we are called to stand firm in our faith, keeping God's commandments even when it means standing alone. We must prioritize God's truth above human opinions, remembering that God says, "Let God be true and every man a liar" (Romans 3:4). However, our commitment to truth must be balanced with compassion and empathy towards others. Our actions should demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit, such as love, kindness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). When interacting with others, especially those we disagree with, our speech should be seasoned with grace. We must avoid using hurtful or divisive language, instead opting for constructive and respectful dialogue. While it can be challenging to navigate relationships with those we disagree with, we are not meant to walk the Christian life alone. Instead, we are called to community and fellowship with other believers (Hebrews 10:24-25). As we strive to maintain unity and understanding, we must rely on the Spirit to guide us, remembering that the letter of the law can bring death, but the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6).
Can two walk together unless they be agreed?

Which can be taken to mean "we can walk together insofar as we agree". Obviously we have to have some boundaries. But as far as we can be in agreement with people, we can fellowship up to that point. Again, some things are deal breakers. But the thing I always try to remember is that I too was once dumber than a box of rocks, but thankfully the Lord and His people had some forbearance and longsuffering-ness towards me.
