== Conflict resolution under a Christian worldview concerning conflict among Christians ==
[[File:Prophet Moses.jpg|thumb|160px|right|The prophet [[Moses]] authored the book of [[Deuteronomy]] ]]
Under a [[Christianity|Christian]] [[worldview]] the following 4 things apply in terms of conflicts and wrongdoing within the Christianity community:
'''1.''' Matthew 18:16 ESV:
"But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses."
(Matthew is alluding to Deuteronomy 19:15 ESV : “A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established.)
'''2.''' Matthew 18:15-17 ESV
“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

'''3.''' [[Jesus Christ]] and [[Christianity|Christendom]] have emphasized the importance of love forgiveness and in the last few decades mental health specialists have increasingly seen the importance of forgiveness to alleviate bitterness and other emotional problems within individuals.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2755173/ Indian J Psychiatry. 2009 Apr-Jun; 51(2): 153–156. doi: 10.4103/0019-5545.49459, PMCID: PMC2755173, ''Forgiveness: A note for psychiatrists'' by Prakash Gangdev]</ref>
As adults, children who attended religious services regularly are 87 percent more likely to possess high levels of forgiveness.<ref>[https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/how-to-help-prevent-your-child-atheist/ How to Help Prevent Your Child from Becoming an Atheist] by Joe Carter</ref> See also: [[Atheism and emotional problems]]
'''4.''' The [[Saint Paul|Apostle Paul]] declared: "When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?" (1 Corinthians 6:1).
