A restorative act of helping someone embrace forgiveness—both giving and receiving—by lovingly challenging their perception of guilt, shame, or unresolved conflict.
It involves gently leading them to understand that through true forgiveness, the past is erased, as promised by God’s mercy and grace. This approach seeks to restore relationships and align hearts with the divine principle that forgiven sins are no longer remembered.
Biblical Anchoring
Jeremiah 31:34 (KJV):
“For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
• Connection: God’s forgiveness is absolute and restorative. Righteous gaslighting reflects this by encouraging people to fully accept forgiveness as a clean slate, rather than clinging to past sins or grievances

Examples of Righteous Gaslighting
1. Forgiving Others:
If someone says, “I can forgive them, but I’ll never forget what they did,” you might gently challenge this with, “True forgiveness means letting it go entirely—like how God forgives us and remembers our sins no more (Jeremiah 31:34). Can you trust Him to help you erase the past?”
2. Accepting Forgiveness:
When someone insists, “I don’t deserve forgiveness,” you could respond, “God says otherwise. Psalm 118 reminds us that His mercy endures forever, and He restores us as a new creation.”
3. Rebuilding Relationships:
If a person holds onto old grievances, you might remind them, “If God has forgiven and forgotten your sins, shouldn’t we do the same for others? Imagine what healing could come from letting the past truly stay in the past.”
Righteous Gaslighting restores hearts by reshaping perceptions of forgiveness, aligning them with God’s truth: that forgiven sins are erased, and each day is an opportunity to rejoice in a restored relationship with Him and others

Get the Righteous Gaslighting mug.Ohohoh! And that is why they are exempt! So if the politicians try to flee to Japan, do me a favor and shoot their planes out of the sky for me will you?
Hym "Self-righteous and arbitrary is right! They are trying to interfere with my challenge to God but they don't want to have to wait until after I kill it so they have created this fiction where if they can get me to do something I somehow lose a game I'm not playing and they CAN'T DO MORE THAN CREATE AI so they can't win the game that I'm playing... So I just have to sit here and wait for them to kill themselves. Which is kind of a bummer but also kind of funny."

Get the Righteous mug.One who pretends to be a high credibility or operates under false pretenses in order to earn money and truly not help their communities as they proclaim to.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was considered to be a “poor righteous teacher”, but people like televangelist are more like faux-righteous teachers. They simply pretend to do it for the good of others but they profit largely from their exploitation of faith and community giving.

Get the faux-righteous teacher mug.A sin-ful triangle that continually needs to go for confession so that it could behave more like a right one on this side of eternity—until its last breath when it will be platonically transformed into a perfect one.
