I get see that in a lot of people. They think that a person is being angry, when they are merely displaying passionate adherence to they are saying.
So when someone is being passionate about what they are saying, other people resign it to a 'rant'. When it is just something that is felt strongly about.
Just who really is being hard headed when this happens? The speaker or the listener?

Yes I do. My own daughters can't understand my meaning of Love and I don't do it out of anger but with Love, but they are my daughters and they think they know me. When I am just trying to be a mother with love, they think I am angry with them. But I guess it is the way I talk. But I grew up with talking loud cause my mother was loud, but I knew she said things out of Love. God Bless!!!!!!

Yes I get that all the time. But we are like Jesus' disciples, we get over zealous and passionate about what were trying to say and it does come across as being angry, especially if its with someone with an opposing point of view. I am proud to say I am a hard headed Christian, speaker. LOL Hang in there your questions are inspiring.

I have seen that also, and I think it's sad! I don't think either is being hardheaded, but if one party ceases the conversation just because it is getting heated and passionate, there is so much that is lost! Some of my greatest insights have come immediately after the most intense points of the conversation or debate, as well as for the other person. And that is a wonderful thing!

Indeed. Be angry, and sin(law) not.
Christ got angry, but never sinned(lawed).
Christ is the end of the law: Romans 10:4.
Thereby Christ is the end of anger that kills.
Killing can also happen via the ungraced tongue,
when it speaks both blessing(grace) + cursing(law).
Grace --> Mercy --> Peace with you all. Amen.

the difference between passionate speech and angry speech depends on the motive or desired outcome. If the motive is of love then it is passionate speech.....if what is said is not said out of love than it is anger.

this reminds me of a debra winger interview. she didn't get along with richard gere, but had to do sex scenes with him in 'an officer and a gentleman'. she said that she focused on her dislike of him during those scenes to present an image of passionate love. it's a continuum, the one extreme can often look like its supposed opposite.
