Alright; I understand that now that you make it more clear. (My post are long because really enjoy teaching at-least from the understanding God has made known to me.)
Though you know from my experience when was reading the word of God as though it was speaking to me when it came down to reading the Lord Jesus Christ and his words -
for some reason it made me more meaner.
Do not know why but when someone mentioned.
Hey, the Lord Jesus Christ is not speaking to me but rather the people back then at that time, and the disciples had specific commands to follow by what they were told to do by the Lord Jesus Christ.
It really lifts a burden off of you and gives you now as a believer freedom to walk by the spirit.
Thank you for your comment and clearing that up. Sometimes still in my flesh can be arrogant; been on the internet a long time, and still judge sometimes but should not do that when reading the words of others and just let it be as it is.
You are right about the knowledge puffs up - you can always go to a forum and share and people either like you or hate you. That will be going on through the entirety of life. Some people will approve some people will disapprove and a long the way we make mistakes that we did and we have to keep moving forward even if someone doesn't forgive you, because we have to look towards God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
(It goes the same way in real life) There will people that will approve of you or look down on you.
What matters is what God sees in your heart! Sometimes we need to shine a light and check it out sometimes and make sure everything is okay - by using scriptures.
And as followers of the Lord we should seek the will of God for us in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Here are a few scriptures that come to mind:
Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
1 Thess 5: 14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
When it comes down to warning a person who is idle and disruptive it is always in a gentle manner by the holy spirit.
No one in this life is perfect that is for sure, nothing we can 'try and do for God' can ever get God to approve of us.
It will forever be the holy spirit/spirit of Christ -> God and the Lord Jesus Christ through you that allows that work to be done in trusting and having faith in them :
Even through persecution, judgement, despitefully use you.
Matthew 5: 43You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Enjoy the rest of your morning/night.
Thank you for bearing with me, and to all here. Everyone here has a purpose and are important in this life and are all most certainly loved by God -
Even if they may disapprove of you sometimes, or may look down on you, it is all part of suffering for Christ -> Also it is a learning experience of what is right and what is wrong in God's view -> when it comes to living by the spirit.
Faith and love is the goal. Love towards God, and love towards other and not hatred.
Thank you CPerkins
