1 | Judgement or Discernment? | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89877 | ||
I really don't care whether anyone agrees with me or not. You have a right to your words. WE, myself included have a right; even a responsibility to spread "THE WORD." If it offends you, or you can't reconize it. So be it. Who's fault is that? If you had understood what I was saying, you would have understood what I said. I would suggest, Schmythe that you concern yourself more with your own prayer life and direction, rather than that of others. I will be held responsible for me. Likewise, you yourself. It would be to your benifit as well, if you were to concern yourself about the argumentative spirit you exuded in your note. We all have such a spirit. The wise control it. Fools let it control them. (I'm not calling you a fool.) I perfer wisdom. I'm sure you do too. Forgive me, there are times that test my control of that, spirit as well. I say this not to offend, for it is the fool who hates rebuke. (KJV)Pro 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? God Bless George |

2 | Judgement or Discernment? | Rom 14:12 | Schmythe | 89921 | ||
I apologize for my agrumentative state, I have been told that it does come accross as that way some times. This is not how i would like it to be precieved. It is just that I get so wrapped up in the discussion of things, I forget, my tone some times. However, I make no excuse for myself and hope you accept my apology. I would also just like to say that the Word does not offend me nor does what you say. However the way that it was put forth here does seem a bit strong. However that is good. Matthew 21: 12, 13 "Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. "It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,'but you are making it a 'den of robbers.'" It is good to be passionate about what we believe if all christians could be this way this world would be much better. God bless. |

If I weren't to accept your apology, then I couldn't ask you to accept mine, which I do, for you have just described one of my biggest faults as well... And my feelings are as yours, for this is not the way I wish to be perceived Oddly enough, this past Wednesday, just prior to services, our preacher was telling how he wanted to rebuke someone evangelizing at another preachers church which he was visiting, but for the sake of the other preacher, he didn't. Our associate preacher hadn't heard what the preacher said before the service. In his sermon, the associate preacher delivered something to this affect; " Everyone worries about hurting someone’s feelings. If what they are doing is against Gods word, then it is a Christians (duty) to inform them of Gods word, whether it hurts their feelings or not." This is what (I, George) have read in the word. Some would say that one preacher had contradicted or rebuked the other. I see no contradiction. I do see something therein that could almost be referred to as rebuke in the associates message. However, I simply can't say. What are your feelings, thoughts and scriptural foundations for such, on this matter? I invite anyone who is "Spiritually Mature" to respond this question. Please, back up whatever you "State as fact," with scripture (NOT an interpretation thereof.) If it is opinion, forgive me, but I'm simply not interested. Yes, I am BLUNT. Sometimes too blunt. I normally get the attention of others though; with my "cave man" method. I like to think of it as the same method used by John the Baptist. Of course, he lost his head over it. Paul was hated by many. And he was not as blunt as I. They both lost their lives because of their mouths. Wouldn't you say that some have to be hit hard to get their attention? My posts seem to hit many very hard. I doubt that any will die due to my posts, but hopefully some will live due to what they may have learned therein. Medicine does not often taste good, but it is a necessary tool for healing, if and only if the person taking it takes it as it was intended, NOT, as in their opinion it was intended. As the Doctor prescribed! I'm not the Doctor. I'm not even the Nurse. I am only one who delivers the medicine. If the patient doesn’t like my method of delivery, does that mean that he should not take the medicine? I’d say, it’s his health! If he don’t like me, let him get someone else. There are those who do like me. God gave me this big mouth of mine. He also gave me scripture, and if He can't use my big mouth combined with His word, to His benefit, then He AIN't GOD! But HE IS! AND I pray that He will. I also pray that if it is His will, which I believe it is, He will teach me how to control it and when to (and not to) open it!!! And anyone who would agree with that on my part, should ponder for themselves as well. Lord, help us all! cuz here we go again... George |

Ezekiel 33: 8, 9 "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself." It is always our duty to warn others of their mistakes. God bless. | ||||||
