I'd post more about it in the "Why America Isn't Mystery Babylon?" folder Dreamweaver started, but BronzeSnake would pile on the invectives.
I find that completely ironic. I'm not the one with my own personal bitter blog.
Did Jesus complain when He was being put on trial?
Remember, He was actually totally innocent and yet not a peep of complaint.
Did Jesus keep a journal of every wrong done to Him?
Did Jesus whip out smart-alecky comments at His tormentors?
No! He did the exact opposite.
Luk 23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Luk 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
If I were you, I would get rid of the chip on my shoulder and do as Jesus did my friend.
I would wipe clean my bitter blog, because if you don't, you will be judged as you have judged all those who you perceive have done you wrong, and judging by your bitter blog, just about everyone you come into contact with has done you wrong.
Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps, just maybe, you may be wrong, at the very least sometimes?
I can't find a single entry on your pity blog where you describe a wrong you have ever done against anyone - it's full of accusation and scathing remarks about people who have done you wrong.
Forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
I know you think I'm being derogatory, but I am not.
I am honestly concerned for you my friend. I honestly believe you are putting yourself in danger with the Lord by harbouring all these bitter feelings toward those who you feel have slighted you in some way.
I honestly believe you need talk to a pastor, and relay your angry feelings. tell him how you feel, be honest. Show him your blog entries. Pray with him, and follow his instructions.
We can all get down from time to time, sometimes we get to the point where we get buried so deep in our anger, or depression, or bitterness that we can't really understand what's going on around us. Everyone becomes an enemy, or a potential enemy. Every innocent remark seems directed at you in a derogatory manner. The most innocuous discussion becomes full of spite and innuendo, and all directed at you. Everyone is out to get you.
In the Holy name of Jesus - my brother please get help. Get back to the point where you can be a joy to others - where you don't have to feel like you're being constantly attacked, and having to be on the defensive all the time.
I am here if you need to talk. I am offering friendship, if you want it - honest, real friendship.
