i spend almost my whole day with God alone. Godly sorrow is why i started feeling impatient with other christians who keep hurting God who is my best friend and Father as well as others when they should be practicing love. This is the true repentance that godly sorrow leads to. When you are tired of hurting others and God so you turn from your wicked ways. I don't see how revelation 13:7-8 or the other scriptures you mentioned ties into any of what we are discussing either. There is nothing complicated in calling out another christian's hypocrisy.

I would say make sure what your asking for lines up with the the promises in the Word. Usually if it fits in with needs and characteristics and testimony.

Well assuming they are christians then they should have at least read the bible. I know there are christians who have never read the bible, which means they don't really love God enough to learn what He has said.

Well i think you missed where Peter was rebuked by Paul (after he got the Holy Spirit). I wasn't talking about christians who were trying to grow. I was talking about the ones who keep willfully sinning and not even trying to be holy. You didn't really explain why you posted 1 Peter 2:1. Im all for inspiring others towards Christ, but when they have already found Christ and refuse to grow then there is concern. I don't really understand how the rest of what you said relates either. Forgive me, but not all who call themselves christians are children of God and are actually doing more harm to the faith than good.

Proverbs 24 24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
Proverbs 27 5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Proverbs 28 23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
1 Timothy 5 20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
2 Timothy 4 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine
Revelation 3 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Also Peter was rebuked by Jesus and Paul.

Are Christians suppose to tolerate the hypocrisy of other Christians and not call them out for it or edify them? Isn’t that why the church is so messed up today? I’m not angry at people who don’t believe in God, I’m just a little impatient with them if they claim to be a child of God, but when other people tell me about being slow to anger I just feel like they don’t get what I’m trying to say. What about Jesus and the Pharisees as well as overturning the money tables and whipping people in the temple. Are we allowed to have righteous anger or is that only for God?

Well as long as you don’t have a boob filter talked about in one of Doug’s videos then there shouldn’t be a problem. There isn’t any magic or occult involved in this show. But however the Lord convicts someone which is why I said pray about it. It’s way cleaner than any other cartoon and definitely better than Coco which is about dead people. I was recommending it for motivation/ morals, which you will understand if you ever make it to the last episode. I know we should be focusing on God for motivation and other stuff as well.

I understand. I don’t watch movies or shows, but this one is different and is clean and the only show I would recommend any Christian should watch. One time God had Doug watch the 300 movie. Pray about it. Perhaps you should pick up with righteousness while working on getting rid of self-righteousness. I think the root of self-righteousness is pride as well. I see righteousness as acts of love as opposed to just doing good.

I don’t think God would say that if He just delivered you. That lie maybe working in your system and causing you confusion and depression. Maybe a goal will help you? A goal to be the most righteous person, second behind Christ. To do good no matter what. To go down fighting. I know this may sound weird, but if you have Netflix then I think you would enjoy watching the show Gurren Lagann. I think by the last episode you will see what I’m talking about.

I spend all day every day alone. I told you the only human interaction I have is the couple of words I say to my mom when she gets home from work. I don’t care if people know I exist. I only care if God knows I exist. God is more than enough for me and I have more peace and joy than ever before. I just don’t understand why you feel alone so please forgive me.

I think what God wants from you (or any of us) is sincere relationship. He doesn't want you believing in Him so you can get what you want. If you love Him even when you have absolutely nothing then He will provide.

Revelation 6 12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood
Revelation 11 13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. (During 6th trumpet)
There is a great earthquake at the 6th seal, during the 6th trumpet It's either the same earthquake or different earthquakes.
Revelation 8 1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Revelation 11 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 16 17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
