When sinners become intolerant of those who voice opposition to their sinning, they often react by forcing their beliefs upon others, especially those who object. Since the object of a constitutional republic is to protect the individual’s right to practice his or her own beliefs, such intolerance is a direct assault on the republic, and it cannot long be tolerated.

The first article (Christians Must Stop Seeing Politics as ‘Evil’ Says Former Congressional Candidate) was relatively easy to understand. The second (5 Biblical Insights into Overcoming Narcissistic Relationships), however, left me a bit bemused.
From my perspective, the second article paints a false picture. We are all narcissists. I understand that some women get too tangled up with domineering men, but they do so in an effort to satisfy their own needs, perhaps thinking they can change the guy. So, I don’t think the fix to this problem is actually has much to do with narcissism or braking off relationship. That is focusing on the problem, not the solution. I believe the correct solution is humbling ourselves before God.
If someone is a narcissist, actually haughty and arrogant, we cannot form a friendship with them. How can we form a friendship with someone who thinks of us as an object to be used? Friendship requires love from both people in the relationship, and a narcissist loves only himself. So, there is nothing break off.
In practice, however, we all are too proud. So, we all have to set boundaries with each other, but that is so we can put our Lord God first in our lives, not ourself. That leads me to this passage.
<blockquote>1 Corinthians 7:12-16 New American Standard Bible
12 But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce her husband. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving one is leaving, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? </blockquote>
Narcissists (or Pagans) cannot stand to be around people who have humbled themselves before God. Since they want to be adored, they will seek other company, or they may become truly abusive. In which case, they belong in jail. Otherwise, as the passage suggest, they will repent and turn to the One True God.

LIKE: I believe the correct solution is humbling ourselves before God. One of the reasons that I included this article was it sounded almost narcissistic, here is the answer now accept it. As with all challenges to our “Christian” beliefs it seems only “their” way is correct. Sounds like leftist liberalism to me.
