If I was to say as you took it......I would have said plainly You....."ARE". I did not. I intended and did not offend.....you did it all by your lonesome.
That was not a personal insult......it means a person who think only of self is the root of the problem.
To say you in your statement was the same as saying self. It was not a slur on your person as you took it. When a person thinks of self they tend to misunderstand things as to their person and not otherwise. Slef thought lead to you being insulted and not my words or intention. Sorry you misunderstood!
If you help others, the reward is not from them but in your own soul, knowing you are a good, kind, loving person with love for others. You will be a rare find and special. But never seek rewards from others they are lies and false because they who recieve only seek self gain. Don't let them use you or they will steal more than is right....your love...and trample it under. Help those truly not able to help themselves who are trying to make better.....those who need but are not trying are users to keep doing that which made their way from the start. Focus on others and you will find yourself and the world both good and bad. Seek that which is truly good and let the bad fall away.
In science, a thing not seen or the effects of not seen, felt,...etc. is never thought to exist. But when an idea occurs that it does exist......a set up, sometimes of great years of effort and money is used to prove it. Then they claim great glory in finding some tiny thing.
If that same effort was used to find God by obeying and study his word......then by a proper way.....one would find proof of God. But how can God plant proof in ground not supporting its existance.
A science will never see the light if it never looks for a light switch. So they and their fellows are still in the dark.
Your sins seperate you from God. Being seperated how can one know God. Look for the light switch and see the light.
The problem is false teachings and faked methods used by greed and ego driven men and women to thier own glory. The true faithful are a small flock and are working hard to obey the truth. They have proof each day by those things revealed to them of how this world is ending and by their faith.
You could never find magnetism living in an all wooden world..... you must live another way to have a chance to find it. The same with God. But don't say magnatism is not real if you never look outside of an all wooden rhelm.
Any new order will be run by the same greedy,self serving humans and only a new way to oppress others will be found! The only real improments will be when the morals and actions toward others improve.
I was dressed up in one of my clown outfits back in high school. my father was having trouble with his eyes and was wearing a dark pair of sunglsses to watch TV at night...in the house. These glasses were women's oval and white from the fifties and big. He had also nicked himself shaving with a new razor. So he looked at me with the sunglasses on, with toilet paper wads stuck all over his face.
If it takes a hen and a half, a day and a half, to lay an egg and a half, how long would it take a centipede with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?
We were given free will, but we chose to disobey a condition. To jump from a cliff has a cost. If we jump, it was our free will. If one offers a way to not die from the fall....it is free will to choose or not. We can die or live....if we desire to live, we must follow the rule (example:grab the rope.) If we do not see or know of the rope or are lied to about the fuction of the rope and we die.....it would be sad....but we made the choice to jump anyway and were to die. But God in his love does not end there. Those who know in truth and refuse made thier final choice. Those others will be given the truth and their final choice before they will die the second death. These are those of the second ressurection and something hidden by the false teachings of the nominal churches.
Some are called now,...others later....each to their own calling and own purpose. All will have full understanding and all given an informed truth knowing choice and time to repent. Even those who died in the flesh before and the future. The second death is after the judgement based on the thruth and choice knowing all.
Few know the true God and his Gospell. The god of this world is Satan in the disquise as God. It has been with us from the beginning, when the apostles were forced from the Churches falling away from the truth. God cannot be held responsible for the actions of an imposter and his angels as he and his come in the apperance of light and decieves the whole world.
What men know about women!
This is going to be a short thread!
