Quotes by Rebecca Davis (?)

“There are actually real, flesh-and-blood people who have been harmed by powerful evildoers in the church. Who will show mercy to them? Who will show them the compassion they so desperately need? Will it be the Christians who are so busy “not judging” the ones who have committed egregious harm?”
― Rebecca H. Davis, Untwisting Scriptures that were used to tie you up, gag you, and tangle your mind: Book 3 Your Words, Your Emotions

“The disciples had been taught the Old Testament Scriptures their entire lives. They had followed Jesus Himself for three years. But only when He opened their minds did they begin to understand. Only when the risen Christ gave them eyes to see did they begin to recognize the shadow of the New Covenant in the Old, and to view the Old Covenant in the light of the New.”
― Rebecca H. Davis, Untwisting Scriptures that were used to tie you up, gag you, and tangle your mind: Book 2 Patriarchy and Authority

“Nowhere in the Bible is bitterness shown to be a secret sin, “hidden deep within the heart,” which can only be pointed out by those in authority (a teaching that forges it into a tool of religious abuse). Nowhere in the Bible is sinful bitterness shown to describe the person who has been hurt by an abuser. Instead, Destructive Bitterness paints a picture of the abuser. Both religious abusers in a church or ministry setting, and those who abuse emotionally, psychologically, and physically within the home can qualify as Biblically “bitter” in the sinful, destructive sense. They then are a Source of Bitterness, causing Grieving Bitterness to others.”
