Let the past be but the past.

38“You have heard that it was said, ‘An Eye for an Eye and a Tooth for a Tooth.’39“But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.40“If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.41“Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.42“Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. 43“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall Love your Neighbor and hate your enemy.’44“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.46“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?47“If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?48“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Matthew 5: 38 - 48

Well God’s first move is love. If that fails, then shaking up is the second move. If that fails then the move goes to eternal damnation, but a soul has to be in the most terrible, obdurate shape to get there... to deliberately leave no room for salvation, nohow.

I may be a bit lost here.

You did understand my reply to mean, “Saright, don’t worry about it,” didn’t you?
