A mocking answer seems to be the only answer that they can give when they have nothing else to refute me. It is just so sad. This also answers why mocking and disrespect is the norm for these kinds of people. They believe that women are not allowed to teach with biblical authority and so automatically someone like me is a terrible sinner. This is how they treat sinners.

But scripture tells us otherwise. Brethren in Christ must be treated with love and respect and if they are in error, they are to be gently corrected with love. Fact is I feel no love from these people and it makes me wonder why. What is the true heart condition that shares no love with a brother/sister?

The Lord showed me that when someone sins against me, I can PRAY that LIFE will come out of it!
1JN 5:16 “If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. ”

I have sinned and I have seen God forgive me and bring life and redemption and use what the devil meant for evil to bring about good in MY heart. If HE can do that for me, then HE can do that for one who sins against me (and against my children).

I don’t think God wants us to give up on those who mock and murder with their words. Saul was a mocker and murderer. God didn’t give up on him. He saw the light on the Damascus road! 🙂
