Well said!
These are what the manipulators and leaders can get into - some I think with good intentions although misguided and others not with good intentions. They are just taken over by malice, bitterness and thus take up slandering others in the body of Christ.
Condemnation guilt and shame are not tools of the kingdom of God and the Lord does not sub-contract them out to the devil to use on us. They are the tools of the religious spirit that uses them to try to force others to conform and try to mimic the life of Christ.
Condemnation is the sub-conscious confession that your life is worthy of judgment.
Guilt is the sub-conscious confession that you are not forgiven.
Shame is the sub-conscious confession that the thing you are condemned over is still who you are.
All 3 of these are anti-Christ and anti- the finished work of Christ beliefs.
They are not tools of heaven. The Holy Spirit is NOT called the Spirit of guilt - but He the Comforter is called the Spirit of grace.
it can be difficult to turn off the little voice between the ears. the one that says 'you are not good enough' nobody loves you' 'you should never have been born' 'you are a waste of air' and so on
after this thread, depending on how it goes, I have in mind to start one about our words and aligning our thoughts with scripture instead of the dialogue we can have that comes from sources that have hurt us
you know what they say 'the best defense is a good offense'
I might tone down the use of anti-Christ though, cause that raises hackles real quick. true or not, we deal with people and we have more defense mechanisms than can sometimes be obvious. I knew someone once, that when you would speak to them about salvation, their eyes were literally glaze over. you could not get through and they considered themselves to be a Christian but they wanted to be one their way.

the complicated psyche of humans can take more dodges and turns than a rabbit trying to get away from a pack of dogs
we hide from ourselves as much as those we want to like us or those we want to impress
sometimes we would like to move on from what hurts us, and God keeps us where we are until we face ourselves
that can take years. God has all the time in the world
