Gragh.
Dad and I keep getting into fights (arguments): he thinks I'm too judgemental, and I think he doesn't give a damn about what the Word of God says unless it agrees with his own pre-formed positions. Blah. Since he's obviously living out of fellowship with God (he divorced Mom and is dating this other woman because Mom wasn't giving him the affection he "needed"), and claims to be closer to God than ever before (barf)... I just can't put stock in any of his ideas anymore; I can't trust him to know what's right from wrong. But he's very good at arguing and explaining things to make them sound like he's right (he's had a lot of practice), and ergh... I try to just not say anything, but I can't... or I haven't been trying with God's strength. I hate what he's become.
It's just a sucky situation. God is greater, though, than his sin, than mine, than my anger...
I love this woman he's dating, and her daughters, but I hate them being together, because it's sin.
I just don't know what to do anymore. Curran and I have been investigating in the Word what to do when someone we know is sinning... I know what to do when someone continues to sin... and the Bible says not to interact with sexually immoral people if they do not repent... We may have to cut off our interaction with him. I don't want to do that, I hope he turns from his sin, but if he doesn't, it looks like we'll have to.
