repent or FIGHT. My hope was that she would

Perhaps this could be a good lesson to us all . . .
From my perspective, you are challenging her beliefs passionately.
Nothing
wrong with that, but we do need to watch it a bit and not push someone too
far over the edge. Jesus was also pushing people to the edge, and he
could
have easily pushed them over, but he is patient and pushes them out of
their
comfort zone just the right amount. It is not always easy to tell how far
to push, but we should be conscious that we could push an issue too far.
My
hope is that you don't stop, but recognize when to ease off a little and
when to press in a little more.
