Accusations through emotional blackmail

Not feeling loved & not being loved are not the same

Jesus loved all people well

And most do not like the way he loves them

Was David’s zeal for the Lord imbalanced because his wife Michal despised him for it?

Was Job’s devotion to the Lord inordinate because his wife urged him to curse God & die?

Would Gomer be a reliable witness to Hosea’s passions of affection?

We have seen so much emotional blackmail

Twisted guilt trippers

Emotional blackmail happens when a person equates his or her emotional pain

with another person’s failure to love

They aren’t the same

A person may love well & the loved one still feel hurt & use the hurt to blackmail

Their definitions of love is their feelings

They constantly connive out from attempted love

Constant admissions of endless guiltIng for their raging instability

Emotional blackmail says

If I feel hurt by you, you are guilty

They teach through their odd control a no defense proposal

The hurt person has become God

Their unusual emotions has become judge & jury

Truth does not matter

All that matters is the sovereign suffering of the aggrieved

It is above question

This emotional blackmail is a great evil never to be please or satisfied

They dispose others in their constant irascible blaming

We need to defend people who are being wrongly indicted by it!!!
