   @hazlin @SuperSnekFriend @professionalbigot69 i certainly won’t claim to be possessed only by Love & Lightness in the face of your prescient example cited in the Bookes of Enoch & Habakkuk (which was the first Booke of Scripture i ever read in its entirety, interestingly here that you mentioned it).

   and perhaps i read too much into your post. i saw what seemed that my bro was struggling and i hope my rambling did you any aid. my Church sure suffers from the Churchian idea that we are responsible for unconditionally forgiving the World, so…

     @hazlin @teknomunk @SuperSnekFriend @professionalbigot69 :yes_nord: there are lots of ways to destroy people. our Heavenly Father sure destroyed the reprobate that i used to be. and does He not destroy my enemies when he makes them into my friends?

     Thank you friend. I like @RMIV, and @teknomunk perspective on this. And, you are right, I agree, and my family was very much abused by relatives who used the twisted forgiveness doctrine as a club to beat them into submission.
     
     I even know some Christian men, who at the last midterm election here in the USA, exhorted each other to pray for Joe Biden, for him to be blessed, for him to make good and wise decisions.
     
     So, perhaps I am using the wrong word? Though, to turn away from anger, and desiring someone to be destroyed, that feels like forgiveness to me xD From my perspective, forgiving them benefits me a lot, goodbye bitterness and anger, you wont ruin my day, but we can't reconcile, we can't become friends, until they stop being my enemy, until they repent.
