And assertive
He has depression but he still studied hard, goes to school full time
Studies*
Takes care of his responsibilities which I really admire
That is very admirable.
But we haven’t been talking bc he feels I insulted his religion when I didn’t mean to. (The time that I did I was emotional so I probably didn’t word myself correctly) so he hasn’t forgiven me for that. He was actually still willing to talk to me though, just as long as we don’t speak of religion again. But I don’t want to have a relationship like that so I just said I won’t talk to him for however long it takes him
He said he doesn’t know how long it’d take him. But even so was still respectful of me
Try to be patient if you can.
He sounds very willful.
Lol he is
But yes I actually have a lot of patience
So it’s alright
New biblical question! It’s a good one
Pride is the same nature of anger
I love Jesse bc all my life I’ve struggled with my anger, just a couple months ago when I discovered him & his churches I really felt my anger decrease
My anger has protected me a lot of my life
It’s hard to shed
But then in relationships, it’s damaging
I always had this issue when I’m angry I esp felt I couldn’t hold back my words. It’s finally starting to change.
Also from Jesse I know that I’ve basically took on my mothers anger and identity. She’s bipolar and as a child was very scary. (Luckily I’m not bipolar tho lol)
If you want to help him, the best thing you can do is to allow him to see himself. That doesn’t mean you start listing things off and bringing anything to his attention, just be kind and loving, be a living example of love and he will change. Hold no resentment towards him. If you are angry go to him and apologize for holding it against him and tell him you forgive him, never try to push your ideas or thoughts, beliefs into your man, 99.99% of the time it will be rejected and create resentment or strife
Absolutely. I agree with you 100%
That’s part of why I’m leaving him alone for now
Hm I don’t feel I’m angry with him, though I can probably look deep in myself and see if there’s any
He’s been a great influence in my life so for now I don’t think there’s any anger lol
That feeling of protection that came from anger is actually what it feels like to be in a fallen state ( unenlightened/being away from the truth ) you were protected from god’s way. “Protected” by the devil
:(
Definitely
The devil is workin overtime to deceive the children of the truth by pretending to be god. Pretending to protect people or empower people with anger. It’s all lies, it will destroy you.
I still have an attitude on me, and I still stand up for myself and be assertive if need be. But I’m nothing like the way I used to years ago, and not even in the couple of months watching Jesse.
Yeah it deff was
And even though over the last year I’ve been fighting with libs, that anger from them was no good for me
And I feel once you feed the anger it tries to take control everywhere else
Until it’s destroyed everything
Exactly
"Truth Triumphs" God said so.

I have a question. I'm reading through the king james bible for the first time and I've heard the best way to read it is to stager the chapters of the old and new testament togeather. Why should or shouldn't I do it this way?
There are about 66 different books in the bible, by different authors. It's like a little library in one volume innit?
@バカFubuki-san What I usually suggest is that they read/download The Action Bible and try to get as much of an overview as possible, then read John, Acts, Genesis-Exodus, Numbers, and Joshua-Judges and 1 Sam-2 Kings (if they're the type of person who would like The Iliad). If they're less mystically inclined then switch out Luke for Acts and maybe skip Genesis and Numbers.
Sar is a Bible pro^ he’s the right one to answer this question
