Thank you Connie and Dennis.

--- Quote from: gregorydc on April 24, 2013, 05:50:49 AM ---Hi Gina,
Two cents here. I believe Jesus was angry at people doing wrong, when they knew what was the right thing to do. And maybe Paul also. It is hard to pray for your enemies when" ye are yet carnal" except for the "make it bloody" prayer. I know exactly where you come from Gina, I hate liars and thieves, they are one and the same to me, and they get to me just the same. I get so angry,I truly want to hurt people for these things, then I try my best to pray for them, but not always the best prayer probably. I also talk to my friends, brothers and sisters here for help, that almost always works, because God works through them.
When I was a young lad of about 8 or 9 I seemed to get into fights about every day. People would make fun of my name and religion. I was called Jew boy for a long time until it came to me that Jesus was also a Jew. So out blurted "thank you, did you know Jesus was a Jew too?" That's when a lot of that nonsense stopped, along with the fighting.
Gina, God doesn't want you to be angry all the time, or lonely,or spiteful, or bitter,or other anti- words. He wants you to love your neighbor, but he is also Gracefully training you to be a better individual by showing you how bad it can be. I know it is a difficult process, because I still blow my top as well. I know you and I will get better, everything in its turn, it is Gods plan after all! I will continue to pray for you my dear friend, for Gods mercy to come upon you, but maybe it already has by what I have read. You will be fine. God bless!

No, not bitter. Just being real. We live in a world that is evil and dark and it's not getting any better, Greg. Let's be real, okay? I mean if you think I'm bitter or lonely or whatever, you don't know me at all.
Gina:
My God, have any of you read the book of Job?! I don't pretend to have some holier than thou attitude. I really do feel sorry for some people sometimes but not all the time, but I'm being honest. Which is a lot more than I can say for some of you. And I don't hold grudges. But you have GOT to LEARN to be smart when dealing with certain people or they will cart you rear end off and take you down a road you really don't want to go down. Is that not so? Are we not to be careful and on guard? Even Ray didn't associate with certain people to a great degree (thinking of his neighbor friend) because he knew the kind of junk that came out of their mouths. Sure, forgiveness is great. I forgive, I don't curse, but wishing they would be humbled and learn? Are you saying that's a bad thing?
Whatever, I'll take these things to God. Just never mind you guys. Thanks for judging me as bitter and lonely and unforgiving, anyway.
"Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke (REBUKE) him, and if (IF!!) he repents, forgive him." (Luke 17:3) Am I misreading this?
gregorydc:
Gina,
I was not meaning those things to hurt your feelings or make you feel bad about anything! I apologize if I have offended you in any way. I wasn't pointing those words directly at you just words in general. I am sorry you misunderstood what I was trying to say, please forgive me.
Greg
