Has anyone ever had this problem? Either converting or witnessing a conversion of someone who led a wicked life, who saw the light, and then only changed the coat of paint it seemed so that he could shift the focus of his antagonism?
I say this because I myself have seen this upsetting thing happen, I knew this guy, I was patient with him and saw something in him I thought could change for the better, with no luck. Suddenly this guy comes along, called CommonFilth, and he finally makes the change, but it didn't turn out the way I thought it would. He went from a grumbling vile sinner to a grumbling "heretic" hunting storm of insults and bitterness that is truly disheartening. Although I have been a Christian all my life and been there for him to the best of my ability. Suddenly he's the source of all truth and light, and I'm the godless heathen in his eyes. Holding everything above my head, chastising everything in his path, which ended in him leading everyone else away from me with his unflinching dominance of social settings and painting people as villains. I solely hold the dark secrets of his past, and have not revealed them to this day out of respect and forgiveness, but now only get contempt in return. Never once did he utter a single scripture to my memory, or up-build anything, it was just soundbytes and slogans, like "white girls f*** dogs" and things like that.
How does one cope with such things? And do you have stories of your own?
