Look at your name: God forgives.
We ought to be forgiving them and praying for them. Doesn't make it hurt less. Yes, usury is akin to witchcraft. Underhanded maneuvers, trying to be seen as a "Goody-two-shoes", but....look - we're all sinners. Remember in the Bible when Jesus discussed two men worshipping in the temple?
One said, Boy I'm glad I'm not like that other guy.
Guy number two said God I'm a sinner, forgive me.
Likely, people with a foul spirit do know how awful their transgressions are. Somehow they justify to themselves their own actions, but what is worse? The fact that they lie to *you, or the fact that they lie to themselves?
To me, I've known many "double-minded" people...you do one thing but purport another thing entirely (which, btw, God says not to do)...they cannot bear to look at themselves, much less their own folly. If we could just love them...treat them as we'd prefer to be treated...and keep trucking with God...that's probably the best we could do. But I personally try to surround myself with people who are honest and straightforward, or, transparent about their living, whether good or bad. I try to be really honest myself. I know I'm a crummy person, but for Jesus in me!
We are redeemed! Praise Him! God will have vengeance, He tells us so...as He had on both Ahab and Jezebel. Try to avoid women like that in the future. Ask God to bring Godly people into your life, and trust Him.
