I loved my Christian White Nationalist momma who at one time had spoken over me that I was the devil’s baby.
She had disowned me for seven years prior to her falling breaking her ankle and never making it out of the facility that killed her.
I took care of her through the insults and one day, near the end, I knew we were just mother and daughter as she was in pain and she asked a sinner like me, to pray for her. And I did. She was a minister, too.
Return to love. We see enough hate now. Thanks I cried listening to this. My heart is heavy. Love ya sis
I recorded multiple attempts at this yesterday, too, but kept going over, etc., then grandkids got up and I wasn’t satisfied with what I had.
So I continued my attempts this morning. I was told long ago that holding grudges against who hurts you isn’t even logical. If they did it unintentionally, they don’t know that they need forgiveness and meant no harm. Forgive them. If they did it intentionally, they don’t care about you and an apology would be for performance only. Forgive them for their ignorance and put them out of your head.
So many things give us peace: forgiveness, humility, gratitude and love. ❤️
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. As we abide by uplifted spiritual standards, we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. I am learning I must rebuke the evil, without feeling hatred and anger. I am learning how to watch my thinking more carefully. It is a full-time job! Thank you again, Lisa.
The Bible is actually a collection of different literary types. The reading level a translation is written to can vary. One frustrating thing about fundamentalists is they insist on a literal reading of Scripture when some of it is meant as allegory, poetry, etc. Paul’s letters are often responses to congregations, and we don’t know exactly what he was addressing at that particular congregation, though sometimes we have a good guess.
Without running the whole country White Nationalist Evangelicals are already making enough of a mess.
I wonder what the dress code will be in a white ethnic-state? Women may only where dresses? Will there be head coverings? 🤔
Will women be able to have short hair? Will men be allowed long hair? What religions will be considered “Christian” enough? I suspect some Presbyterians, Episcopalians and Methodists will be disenfranchised if they can actually turn us into a theonomy.
Yes. Even his own servants. I think it is Ezekiel who says Sodom was destroyed for pretty much pride, decadence and mistreatment of the poor and immigrant. 🤔
But the Dominionist movement insists this country would be best served with only Christian males having access to the vote (no women, no non-believers) and have the entire federal law system abolished for OT law everywhere with church councils judging people. 🤦♀️
When I ended up at a church preaching that, I stayed awhile just trying to understand everything they wanted to do, not to agree with it but to try to figure out how to warn about it. When I discussed it back then, the idea was laughed at.
Really? I must have misread something because I haven’t seen that. I thought maybe you were joking about being a blue dog Democrat. Now that I read about them, I probably wouldn’t fit, but I am hoping for a large group of concerned citizens of varying political leanings, so a blue dog is definitely welcome!
Yeah. I know how we ended up here, but still I often say to myself, “how did we let it happen?” Why wasn’t truth more precious than cheering performative patriotism? Why weren’t we more careful with the Supreme Court? Why did we naively expect that the most powerful judges in our country would be immune to bribes and honest enough to report them? 🤦♀️
Why didn’t more heed the “beware the military industrial complex” from a decorated general?

They own it now

You’re welcome! Thank you for sharing! It is so hard to want to hurt people when we have been hurt. It takes practice to guard our hearts. ❤️
Well, put, Lisa! Thank you! I am going to re-stack this
Thank you!
I’m not an expert in Christianity, but doesn’t God, in The Old Testament, go around SMITING, a lot of people ?
I was told that The Bible was written, at a twelfth grade level .

This is one “dog”, who agrees .
I wonder if I am a “dog…”
Some people were implying, that I was a dog .

Needs a responsible press .

So many questions.
Yes! I love this speech.
