Dear ((((( Lupita ))))))
That shows and proves that you are not an N. Because an N will do it more and more. And robe it in the face and on the nose, etc. Conflicts come principally from Ns. Yes, Lupita, you are wise. I knew full well the underlying reason why, regarding what was being done to me, hurtful, yes, but thankfully, that has now ended. So it is finished.
Did you see? Hopalong and I had a disagreement and did not escalate to nothing. That is the kind of friendship I am looking for.Yes, I did. And, likewise, with myself and Hops, which was quickly resolved in a mature adult way, which is just as we would each expect, from each other, which is healthy (will refrain from using the word 'normal' Hops
).
I am a true Chrsitian. I have nothing against bible. I love the bible. What I hate is that somebody tells me that I do not have God in my heart. That is judgemental. And nobody knows my deep in my heart but God and me. Truly, I do understand, as personally, I cannot bear to be 'Bible Bashed', makes my spirit/heart feel flattened, by a Christian who will blindly assume that I have never read a Bible, let alone studied it (which I have, by my very own personal choice, and enjoyment, in my quiet times). Sometimes, I think Christians are their own worst enemy, when they continue in treading on each other's toes without a thought.
I really appreciate your gesture. I prefer science than bible when discussing problems. The bible was written too many years ago when women had no rights. The world is different and many things do not apply. I eat pork and I do not care. And I do not have to obey men etc. So, to avoid conflicts, I prefer not to use the bible in secular life. I leave it for church. Enough with that, I have enough with the church. And a Christian school every single day of my life. Interestingly, my current ongoing research is on the subject of 'wrong interpretation of the Bible' in respect of the wrongful way in which women down the ages, and still today, are abused under the Patriarchal system. Though, as posted on my thread on the 'What Helps' board, there are some good men who rightly interpret the Bible, with equality for women, and standing up and speaking out.
That is why I liked so much observer. No moral speeches. Just scinetific analysis of the facts. How can you prove that the pastor hates you. The pastor is a jerk, so what, etc. Do an concious effort not to be in thier way. That was an advise that saved me. But in the long run, I think you choose to love. Look at somewhere else. etc. Wonderful advises.
Likewise, I truly appreciated Observer's postings. Hopefully, the person, Observer, will come and post again, after Observer's 10 days holiday time.
Observer's postings were like a breath of fresh air and I have gleaned much from the content of all the postings, articles, and website links.
Observer posted just at the right time for you, Lupita, however, it is YOU yourself, and no one else, that has the full credit for all the work that you have done, with the fruits of your labour being you, as we can all * see * you, now. Such a wonderful difference in you, Lupita, truly.
Anyway, I love that you do not use the bible. Thank you. That is very respectful of you. Thank you, Lupita, you are most welcome, sincerely, and that is truly most kind of you to say to me.
My sincere good wishes to you, Lupita.
Love, Leah
