One of the common rookie mistakes anyone can make is to think they can change another person through force, guilt trip, or manipulation of any form.
That includes posturing with biblical verses with the intention to attack instead of really helping. That lacks integrity to me.. it perverts something loving and pure... intended to be behind these verses. *shrug* consider this feedback.
Additionally, constructive feedback does not have to be filled with namecalling or insults, nor does it has to be harassing. That can also pervert something good you meant to achieve. Instead, you're stuck in the drama or some emotionally draining cycle, even if you might be "right." Words have power as the intentions behind them are the fuel of that power. Consider this another feedback.
There's also a time to talk about these things, and there's a time to walk away. One of life's secrets is determining these kinds of boundaries that would be deemed healthy for the individual (you). The moment you decide to own up to that as your responsiblity, you're one step forward from A to B. It is a journey.
Just IMO... Good luck, guys.
