Who do you think Babylon the great is?

What translation of the Bible do you recommend?

If Jesus was not involved in the political issues of his day , why is it ok for Christians?

Do you believe in the Trinity? If so why?

Do you believe that salvation requires belief in one true religion, or a general good standing with God?

I know these are all huge questions. I just have a lot of confusion because of the religion I grew up in. If you wouldn't mind answering one of two I would really appreciate it. Book recommendations or chapters of the Bible to read are also highly appreciated 👍

My MIL and I have a lot of recent history around my first born. He is only 9 months but it completely changed how I view her. She was always very insistent on family time and heavily pressured her view points. But it was always a general indirect statement so I was fine ignoring it. People can have their opinions I don't need to argue as long as they aren't directly criticizing me. At first when I had him she was extremely aggressive and territorial about him. She even yelled at me at one point because I didn't want to sleep train him days after birth. She was angry I didn't want to involve her and have her in our house with us everyday.

​

With that basic background, am I overreacting to this current situation?...

​

So my FIL loves soccer. The other day we all got together to watch one of the world cup games. I was playing with my son on the floor and my MIL kept moving him towards her. He is very agile for his age so I don't hover too much as he plays but I am around to make sure he doesn't get hurt. At one point he started to fall so I supported him on his way down so he wouldn't hurt himself, but learn about movement. My MIL grabbed him up as I did this. Then at one point they all cheered after a goal and it scared him. He started to cry so I picked him up and comforted him. She kept crowding him and trying to hand him things as he cried. He's not shy but no one wants a desperate woman trying to get a reaction out of you while you're upset. So I got up to walk with him as he kept turning inward towards me. She then stood up and said " give him to me I'll walk him around "and went to grab him. I said no thanks thats ok and walked him around.

​

After 7 or so minutes of chilling I came back with him , and he went back to playing. She kept grabbing him and saying my love my grandson my grandbaby I love you and kissing him even though he didn't react to her. He kept moving her hand away and tried to play. Then my husband was drinking a water and my son wanted a sip. So my husband shared his water. My MIL was micromanaging the way my son drank the water. After that we made an excuse and left early.

​

I frequently feel highly pissed off by her. Based off this interaction am I overreacting? Or is this too much? Have you handled situations like this? How did you handle it?
