Why should doing what is right and true be discouraging?

You equated Snacks to the Serpent in the Garden. That's crossing a massive line of respecting someone who is supposed to be a Brother in Christ. What you said is disgusting and repulsive and I am asking that you begin to speak to others, here, and everywhere else, with respect, honor, and dignity.

Revelation 2:20-23 said Jesus in the New Testament.

Will you help her by backbiting your brother and designing schemes and plots against him and gossip rather than going to his face and telling the greater truth that fornication and adultery is utterly taboo to the Lord God and perchance resolve this issue cleanly and in the process save not just this woman, but also your brother?

Hyperbolic judgment. Try again.

That's a good one!

Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own. Like a
maniac shooting flaming arrows of death is one who deceives their neighbor and says, "I was only joking!"

We see that here, sometimes. Well, probably much more often than seldom. Especially the latter part.

What?

lol.

Well, this thread got interesting.

To your original question, just pray and do whatever God leads you to do.

Look, when I step in as a mediator, you know that things are bad because I'm a pretty straightforward, lay-the-axe-at-the-root type of guy.

That said, A-Sword-Cometh makes me look like a boy scout, but there is some truth to what he's saying.

in other words, IF (I don't know the specifics of his situation) your friend is possibly entering into a relationship that involves either fornication or adultery, then it's not wrong for him to suggest that you say something to him about it.

Anyhow, what the heck did your lotion comment mean?

Inquiring minds (like mine) want to know.

I need to head off to bed soon.

Good night.

Go to YouTube and type in: Silence of the Lambs, it puts the lotion in the basket.

Not sure why you responded to 2Timothy that way. He’s a wonderful brother in the Lord. Maybe I’m misunderstanding.

Let's just say that you and I have totally different opinions of him.

He's no fan of me, either.

I'll leave it at that.

For what it’s worth I like both of you and appreciate what you share. God bless. 🙏

I know a guy who is not well liked but I treat him well and he considers me a friend. He beat his wife to the point that she left him and now he is dating a girl he knew from high school some twenty years ago. Do I warn her of his abuse, yes or no?

I would let her know. Because I have been in an abusive relationship. People knew and never said anything to me.

I'm sorry to hear of this, Willow. Tell us; how did it make you feel to know that others possessed information that could have spared you from abuse? Did these inactions cause you to feel valued? Or, did the fact that these people said nothing, did it cause you to feel like you were perhaps worthless? Based upon this, I would dare say that to say nothing would be the sin, which is quite the opposite of some opinions, here.

Unless we have amazing control over our sense of self-confidence, abuse can have life-long, debilitating effects upon us (and how we live our lives). Unfortunately, most do not possess such self-control.
 
Nothing and nobody is all good or all bad. Even the most evil people are capable of doing heroic acts of bravery.
Likewise even the most angelic of people committed to acts of kindness and charity are capable of despicable actions.

Where we like to label and brand people with the scarlet letter of their past behaviors...no one is beyond redemption.

God doesn't care who you were; He cares about who you are.

That being said...there are paths for recovery from violence. Violence is addictive like any other drug. For some people it's like heroine or Crack cocaine.

Just because the OP tells the woman that her current boyfriend was abusive to his last girlfriend doesn't mean that she will react in a positive fashion. There's a reason why abused women stay with their boyfriends/husbands....and it isn't like they enjoy being beaten.

And as @Magenta has said...tattleing is insering yourself into their relationship.

We all like to believe that we can "make someone good or safe" by just relating pertinent information. And you have no idea how I wish this was true....but it just isn't.

People are who they want to be regardless of who you want them to be.
