NASB | Luke 6:42 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 6:42 "How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite (play actor, pretender), first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye. |

Bible Note: Prayon Let me say one more thing and I'm really not picking you but this idea that the actions of the church keep people out of relationship with God. If someone is in right relationship with God I guarantee you nothing the church or anything the world does will effect it. Why because when we are in right relationship with God we clearly understand we live in a fallen world and in a fallen world people/church still commit sin. It in no way effects our love and relationship with God. We have allowed the excuse "I was hurt in the last church I attended and I don't ever want that again so I just don't attend." for too long. What people that use that excuse are really saying is they don't believe the Bible where it says 'forsake not the assembling together', or they are too lazy to get out of bed, or they think they can 'excuse' their way into heaven and Jesus isn't the only way. Sure people get hurt, and that is a shame but to use it as excuse to justify being out of relationship with God is without support. Again they need to be told point blank your in sin and unless you repent, forgive and get back in relationship with God your going to spend eternity in hell. Whether they like it or not the ball is in their court. I wish and pray that not another person ever gets hurt in church. But I pray even harder that those that are using that as an excuse for not attending church will see it for the lie it is. Again Prayon forgive me for using your post to express this but we keep seeing this repeated on the forum. People trying to shift the blame onto the church and not the individual. Individuals are going to stand before the Lord and pointing fingers will not be an option. Each individual has the responsibility for accepting or rejecting their salvation provided for them though Christ Jesus. EdB |
