the truth will make you free < a little context

[Cleary]

Thats actually a common forum practice.

And yet I was not free but miserably, tormented, spiritually abused, and suicidal.

obviously, you were entertaining the wrong angels .... implying you're free now ?? ...
sounds to me from the frying pan to the fire ...
Satan indeed teaching you well

I was not entertaining the wrong angels. Why is it that Christians always have the arrogance to assume they know I was doing x or y? And Im not implying. I am free from sin. It no longer holds any weight over me, it holds no sway over me, I dont obsess over avoiding it, and its utterly non-existent in my life.

If you're a rejector of (the Biblical) Jesus Christ ... this "I am free from sin" < is indeed a lie from Satan

If we say that we have no sin .. we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us
If we confess our sins .. he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
If we say that we have not sinned .. we make him a liar and his word is not in us .... 1 John 1:8-10

I would again say this is more Christian arrogance. You dont know my life, yet you assume how it was and is. I first had suicidal thoughts as a child. They continued into my emerging adult years. Jesus, Jehovah, they did nothing. It wasn't until after I left the church in my teens (as a battered, confused, and scared girl) that I began to cleanse myself of the confidence and self esteem destroying chains I was shackled in, and begin the healing process that has been over half my life so far. The church left me that broken. So, this was not a liberation, how?

Oh, I'm sure you got yourself all lifted up ...... but your so-called "self-righteousness" (Luke 18:9-14) would be sending you in the wrong direction
The church left me that broken < indeed, Satan loves to play religion ... it's his main MO ... did you come from a Catholic background ?
