Well if you want to know what I think about your OP then this is it...... You have already read that I completely agree about passivism and that we should strive to imitate Christ in all of love, patience, kindness, forgiveness and mercy. As this will be how we will live for eternity on the new earth with our God and King Jesus Christ, the Father and the Holy Spirit.
And so the reason that I commented that you sounded angry is because your post is about peacefulness. And since I have never once said anything rude or unkind to ever, in fact I have been very kind to you and I would appreciate having the same respect and love given back to me, as a sister in Christ. And also you mentioned that I am new, and you are absolutely correct but that does not mean that I am not intelligent, nor a strong mature Christian who loves and desires the Lord with my whole heart, nor that my opinions and comments and posts do not mean anything.
So for you, as someone who proclaims passivism, love and peacefulness, then if you do not have anything kind to reply to me then just don’t reply at all. Just know that all I was trying to do is care about you because you were acting a bit out of character from what I have read from you in the past.
The OP says :
"In His days the righteous shall flourish,
And abundance of peace,
Until the moon is no more."
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Also,
” The work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. ”
And then not 5 posts later you lashed out in anger at someone it seemed contradictory to what you wrote in the original message of the OP.
So I was wondering if everything was alright you because I know you desire peace and love and passivism, so when I see something you wrote that completely contradicts your beliefs then it makes me concerned you have a heavy heart. I completely forgive your comments that you made about me and I still will offer my ear any time you want if it would help. If you don't want/need any extra love from a sister then that is fine also, just know that I care about all my brothers and sisters and that includes you

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 “ Love is
patient; love is
kind; love is
not envious or
boastful or
arrogant or
rude. It does
not
insist on its
own way; it is
not irritable or resentful; it does
not rejoice in wrongdoing, but
rejoices in the truth. It
bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never ends.”
