I posted this on another thread, but it seemed worthy of it's own thread, at least in my selfish mind...
Bookmarked for near term pondering.
We planned on filling it with un dyed diesel. We don’t use enough in the tractors to amount to much. There is however at least a ten cent per gallon or more under pump price for bulk delivery.
By "it" here, I think you mean being without the means to obtain food to feed yourself. Enabling someone without work with a bag of groceries is not depriving them of a refiner's fire. It is called "compassion." You can find that in the Bible. It is also called "lending to the Lord." (Prov. 19:17) I think you said you were ceasing ALL charitable giving?
Codependency is an illness.
Codependency is a term in the manual for psychoheresy. It is not in the Bible.
Enabling people is an illness.
Helping people to keep on pursuing sinful behavior is misplaced compassion. But assisting someone in need through no fault of their own is not. It is God's method of offering you an opportunity to demonstrate mercy. "Enabling" as you use it is also a nonbiblical clinical psychology definition.
Healthy people are going to seek healing for themselves, over giving enabling.
The craniotomy required to remove a tumor about the size of a small lemon from within my skull was an expense I could never have paid for, nor was it an affliction I could have changed by my attitudes. I was very grateful for the provision of neurosurgery and a place in which to rest while healing.
I hope you have the gracefulness to be corrected through reproof.
With regards --
‘Lead’

lol- no thanks.
If you think the concept of co-dependency is not in the word of God- I don’t think you are familiar with either exodus or Jeremiah.
Any further conversation with you would be fruitless.
Have a good day.
If you, or anyone, is putting together a “Galt” ping list, please include me. I am trying to keep up with all the threads that have been popping up on here.
