Dear Family,

To: Marjorie Puka, Janette Golay, Kelly Golay, Charmelle Puka, et al.

Once again, we assemble. I pray for resolve.

Let’s dive right in.

In remembrance of those who sacrificed their lives to ensure freedom and justice in our republic for future generations…

Instead of unexpectedly filing a police report on the one-year anniversary of Puka inviting me to stay at her house at the same cost as my former residence…

I have determined that my ethical principles necessitate me informing you of my plans before taking any action.

By acting maturely, I have kindly chosen to let you know that a lack of response to my letter will be interpreted as indifference and an unwillingness to defend your actions in light of the truth, and in accordance with both the letter and spirit of the law.

As evidenced by your actions against my family without the basic courtesy of a friendly request for dialogue or ensuring that your actions were legal or lawful…

I will not lower myself to act without giving you full awareness of the path you firmly wish the entire family to follow.

This serves as your final chance to make amends and repent; otherwise, it will be time to hold you accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

I should have been granted due process before you took “any” harmful actions towards my family.

This is the last due process I will generously offer you before filing charges, issuing a trespass notice, sending a third and final cease and desist, as well as applying for a restraining order…

And initiating the process of a civil lawsuit.

ALLEGED CHRISTIANS BEWARE

The Bible does not explicitly say that people should not sue one another. However, there are passages that provide guidance on how to deal with disputes and conflicts among believers.

In the New Testament, Paul addresses a situation in the Corinthian church where members were suing one another in secular courts.

He writes in 1 Corinthians 6:1-8
1. Does any one of you, when he has a complaint (civil dispute) with another [believer], dare to go to law before unrighteous men (non-believers) instead of [placing the issue] before the saints (God’s people)?
2. Do you not know that the saints (God’s people) will [one day] judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to try trivial (insignificant, petty) cases?
3 .Do you not know that we [believers] will judge angels? How much more then [as to] matters of this life?
4. So if you have lawsuits dealing with matters of this life, are you appointing those as judges [to hear disputes] who are of no account in the church?
5. I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is not one wise man among you who [is governed by integrity and] will be able and competent to decide [private disputes] between his fellow believers,
6. but instead, brother goes to law against brother, and that before [judges who are] unbelievers?
7. Why, the very fact that you have lawsuits with one another is already a defeat. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
8. On the contrary, it is you who wrong and defraud, and you do this even to your brothers and sisters.
9. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor those who participate in homosexuality,
10. nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers [whose words are used as weapons to abuse, insult, humiliate, intimidate, or slander], nor swindlers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you [before you believed]. But you were washed [by the atoning sacrifice of Christ], you were sanctified [set apart for God, and made holy], you were justified [declared free of guilt] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God [the source of the believer’s new life and changed behavior].

Here, Paul encourages the believers to resolve their disputes within the Christian community rather than relying on secular courts. His emphasis is on maintaining unity and love among believers.

Another relevant passage is found in Matthew 18:15-17, where Jesus gives instructions on how to handle conflicts among believers:

“Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican.”

In this passage, Jesus emphasizes a step-by-step process of reconciliation, starting with a private conversation and then involving witnesses if necessary. If the issue remains unresolved, it can be brought to the attention of the church.

These passages suggest that while the Bible does not explicitly prohibit suing others, it encourages believers to seek reconciliation and resolution within their community and to prioritize love and unity over personal grievances.
