Bible Question:
I am amazed that so many of you (not all) give answers to scripture other than the scripture refernce posted by the person asking the question. Do you remember when Paul taught us that we may be the host in the presents of an angel without knowing it, well if they stand with us in the world surely they also stand in the cyber-world. do not be so free with your insults. I answered one of you and said that Jesus was my only teacher, and that tens of thousands of souls have returned because of what he taught me, and I got a reply of insults that said I should get an education on the internet. What a loser. And what an insult to our Lord. GROW UP BROTHERS AND SISTERS. please read proverbs 22:29 and Isaiah 31:3 this is the last you will hear from me, I promiss. please do not remove from the unanswered question page for at least one day so all will see. in Love Joel k |
Bible Answer: Dear Joel K - I read your post and the references you cited. My response is to answer with Scripture as well. I recall writing to you a while back that it is not WHAT you know but WHO you know. "but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD." Jer 9:24 You wrote that Jesus is your only teacher. Do you know HIM? Do you really know WHAT He taught? You wrote: "What a loser" Did He teach you to judge or malign your brothers and sisters? "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned." Lk 6:37 "bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." Lk 6:28 "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell." Mt 5:22 James admonishes us: "But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;" He reminds us that "no one can tame the tongue; (or the typing fingers) it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way." James 1:19;3:8-10. This is a sign I saw today that we all would do well to take to heart: "Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech." I suggest that if a Forum member has specifically offended you, it would be wise (as well as obedient)to follow the instruction of Jesus in Mt 18. My prayer for you is that you will desire to be teachable. God may even be trying to teach you through this Forum, He has taught me much here! mommapbs |
