restore, this is how "I" see it:

according to Scripture, when someone mistreats me, I don't have the "right" to complain, now if it is a brother/sister in Christ, we need to confront the person and settle out of court the differences, we are not to take our problems between our selves before the world.

as to the problem you have with your neighbor's coal smoke??? Examine the situation and see if the Lord has been trying to teach you anything out of the problem. we go through trials in our lives for reasons the Lord has planned, nothing is an accident. Is it an actual attack of the enemy and if so what can the Lord bring about for good out of it? Is He trying to teach to love your neighbor, even when he is unlovable and spiteful? Can the Lord use the situation to bring your neighbor into the kingdom?

I'm not sure what happened to the comment from "Restore" but the background is this:  Her neighbor has an outdoor coal-fired furnace.  The fumes from the furnace were being driven into their home and making them quite sick.  Her husband had to be taken to the hospital - several times as a result of the noxious fumes.  They politely asked the neighbor to get it fixed and were told to go mind their own business.  That has been several weeks if not months now and they are still getting the noxious fumes and debilitating health problems associated with them.  She was being deprived of life, and the pursuit of happiness and exercising her freedom of speech.

Sometimes you need to be able to use the legal system to move things along rather than be slowly poisoned.

i did not write this for her, i don't think? it was something the Lord had been working on me with, she had written to me though.... i had read her blog earlier though... but did not delete her comment though

I told her that

according to Scripture, when someone mistreats me, I don't have the "right" to complain, now if it is a brother/sister in Christ, we need to confront the person and settle out of court the differences, we are not to take our problems between our selves before the world.
