So, is it biblical to just let wrong doings or harm go without confronting it? There are many biblical references that answer this. What are your thoughts?

I think it's alright to let some problems resolve themselves when it's not really bugging anybody. What do you think?
i'm not confrontational also i'm not scared of one. If i confront someone I will win at any cost and that is not always good so I choose not to.I choose to think that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.But if you can't let go I think it's better to confront it.Hate and bitternice is worse than cancer in my books. So if you can't let it go confront it. Bill
I Love confrontations....it always makes me feel better. It's usually not what i think and someone else's view makes sense to them as to what they did or said. Sometimes it makes me more understanding of them and hey if they are wrong...tell them your feelings. Doesn't mean I always agree, but I sure like to settle the misunderstanding.
I don’t necessarily feel compelled to get in the middle of every wrong doing. I have been compared to a sheep who has fallen in the thorns. I am glad that God removes them one at a time and not all at once. Thanks for your mercy on me, Lord. I am more concerned that when I do confront someone, that I do it in love (that is not always the case). 1Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Well you know me, I'd prefer to run at full speed away from confrontation. But you have shown me that it is good to hash it out and be done with it. I see the wisdom in that.
At the same time, I don't think every little thing needs to be brought up. God will bring to light those things that deserve attention and those things to turn over to Him and trust.
Great question, and great responses. How do you know when it is "right" to address or confront issues with people, and when it is not necessary? What is the determining factor or factors?
