Is it unchristian to hate my Step Mother?

My Dad lives in Dubai because he doesn't like taxes and sometimes I have to call him late at night to get money. Anyway his new wife (who is 15 years younger than him😯😯😯) ALWAYS WANTS TO SPEAK TO ME WHEN I CALL UP😡😡😡.

I never want to talk to her because when my mum found out he'd been [i]rutting[/i] with his secretary (my step mum) it might have led to problems with her self esteem which might have led to her plastic surgery addiction....

... And....


.... She is going deaf and I always always always have to repeat EVERYTHING I EVER SAY TO HER. She was in a car accident which damaged her hearing and I [i]guess[/i] I'm glad she didn't die (I guess) but sometimes I wish the accident had made her totally deaf so I wouldn't even have to pretend to be pleasent to her on the phone. Sometimes I wish the accident had scarred her face because my dad prolly wouldn't have employed her and therefore he wouldn't have left my mum for her.

She is the only person in the world I don't like so is this unchristian?

Well, on the one hand Christians do hate better than than most, and anyone who doesn’t fit their little mold is fair game. And the more religious they are, they more hateful they seem to be.

On the other hand, to be Christian is supposed to as Christ like as possible, and Christ himself was a very loving and forgiving person in general.

So in answer to your question, it all depends on which version of “Christian” you want to be.
@Zaphod42 *Christ 'H"imself* lol

This whole story is weird.
Wishing death on anyone is pathetic (I guess)
IndigoSavage · 22-25, F
@Gangstress but I didn't wish for that. I just wish she was the one who had to get plastic surgery (for cuts and burns) instead of my mum (because she got emotionally hurt)
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@IndigoSavage i think you have a lot of anger. Your dad is more than likely to blame for your mums emotions. After all it was her husband who cheated. I get the vilification of step mum.but Remember it takes two to do the tango

gotta say, the dad sounds like 100x worse. in fact, she really doesn't sound so bad at all.
IndigoSavage · 22-25, F
@BlueVeins yeah he's good at being a corporate badass. Bad at everything else

It borders on crazy because it's not necessarily her fault that your father had no self-respect.

Just cut ties if you hate her so much.
IndigoSavage · 22-25, F
@Miram I can't cut ties because I don't get paid enough to not call up my dad AND SHE'S ALWAYS THERE!!
Miram · 31-35, F
@IndigoSavage do you only call him for the money?

or do you care about him?
IndigoSavage · 22-25, F
@Miram Well he did hurt my mum

@IndigoSavage other peoples’ sin doesn’t give us license to sin

@IndigoSavage [quote]is that not OK?[/quote] the reason i mentioned it is because i wanted to bring that to your awareness.

remember in the new testament when jesus was teaching and doing all these great things and the Pharisees approached jesus and asked him what were the two commandments above all? and jesus said "
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. “This is the first and great commandment. “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”

okay but what does love mean?

well it specially gives you a definition of what love is and how we are supposed to do it in corinthians

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

those are the two commandments above all. treat everyone how the verses say, and you will be responding with love.

forgive your step mom. so that you can have peace and clarity in your heart. she will have to answer for what she has done.

I don't see what role a religion plays here .. as its basic humanity. You can just accept her as your friend or sister for how you relate with one another is upto you.

What your dad did or mom did is actually none of your concern as you're not involved. From most of what you have said it looks like your mum has brought things upon herself. Obvious that she has never thought things out in a cool frame of mind.

But your future is yours.. and you are part of a family which has your dad's new wife too..

Also think what you achieve by remaining hostile with her. Also think what is she going to achieve by befriending you inspite of all your past deeds.

Bygones are bygones. Look forward into your future.

Yes it is unchristian.. But we are human so loyalty to ones mother can see us hating on those who deem to have caused our mother hurt..

So as a christian in this situation we should pray to our LORD and acknowledge that out hate for our Step Mom is not good and against the LORDs will, And ask for Him to help the bad situation for your actual mother, for you, for your dad, and for all involved..

And thank the LORD for forgiving you through the Atonement of the LORD Jesus..

Then try to move on in life and when ever those hate feelings start to well up and we start to think about people with hate thoughts we should realize what we are doing and put a stop to it and pray to the LORD again..

Don't talk to her. Period. Be real.
And when she asks, well she should know. She broke a family after all.

As difficult as it may be, it's impossible to say that it isn't unchristian.
