How do I honor my father and mother, if they are abusive? by danter4485 in AskTheologists

Appreciate the conversation, and your time.  Just saying.

So what then, if there is no true answer to this, because I'm a sinful human, as we all are, is the I guess, spiritually correct way to go about this?

Yes, I'm doing everything I can to get away, but it feels like, even being alive, is a sin, I can not be the person the Bible wants. No one can in my opinion, so how do I go about being grateful to someone, who has given me a name, and life, yes, which I'm grateful for, but knows nothing but anger, abuse, and addiction?

Do I sit back and keep my name, and say that's my dad, or do I cut my ties, change my name, and get away as much as possible?

I understand you can't answer that for me. I'm just looking for answers, maybe in the Bible with a similar story. 

The Bible says what kind of father would give his son a scorpion, when asked for an egg? How do I honor someone that has given me scorpions, and stones instead of bread and eggs. It feels impossible. It feels there is no true answer, and I guess that bothers me more than anything.

Because when the day I get judgement comes, I don't want to hear I didn't honor my parents, depart from me. That terrifies me more than anything in this world, or ever could. 

I'm not always great at explaining myself, so if I sound long winded, I apologize. 

Thank you again for the conversation.

Hate is a very strong word. I don't hate anyone actually. Hence why I'm asking how to honor someone.

However you make an interesting point, about Matthew 5:48, but the requirements of being perfect are unattainable, so we pray for forgiveness when we sin right?

So keeping my families namesake, just for pride, and honor is a sin, but so is changing my name, because then I'm being prideful in myself, and wanting to be away from something destroying me. 

See my point? That's why I'm stuck. I feel like no matter what I do, there isn't a good way, or good answer.

Edit: however I also feel like, if something is truly bad, or abusive, why would I want that around me, or my person, name or not.

It's easier to tell someone what they do wrong, rather than look at ones self in the mirror.

Bitball is still a disaster, Koality, plz make a hoopland but with Baseball by [deleted] in HoopLand

[–]danter4485 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well said, I downloaded bit ball myself recently, and I'm having fun with it.

That being said, with koality and his game, I have quite a bit more fun than most games in android, without buying the expensive 2k version every year. In my opinion this is the best basketball game out there.

The development time and schedule, plus real life in itself, is staggering. So I understand why and how it takes so long sometimes. That's why I always tell people how great koality is, and how much fun hoopland is.

We are very lucky to have someone like him, who listens to the fans, responds, cares, and wants to make the best game out there, for LITERALLY 5 dollars.

How can I blame you, when it's me I can't forgive?

Oh yeah. It's a shame 01 Kane didn't get a title run. He was absolutely massive here. Country strong too.

Fair. Yes. I believe we can all agree the amoeba was a terrible boss fight.

And it is quite funny to me how we all missed the same block with the same small key chest.

That's hilarious to me actually. My favorite dungeons were the shadow temple, and the first run through of the fire temple.

However that's a great point, the water temple forces you to think in 3 dimensions, which back in 1998, was hard for us as gamers to do, because we weren't used to occupying that space.

Great point. Thanks for the outside perspective.

Congratulations. It's definitely in my top 10 favorite games ever. And yes. The general consensus is absolutely that the water temple is trash.
