Yeah but it's just a screen name. I lied about my location, it isnt Columbus! It's a way smaller town, but I am from Columbus. I don't see that as a big deal. I do seem to make many of the gays angry talking to them, lol. You never know when someone will want to look you up!
I think so. you come across very pious at times. (many times). That's not really in our Job Description as Christians, is it? Spread the Gospel. Spread the good news and be encouraging to those who in the faith or unbelievers. This entire Earth is God's University of Brotherly Love. Where we were sent to learn how to love our neighbor and God, properly.
Don't misunderstand me though and think that I'm just talking down to you, because I have heard you say a lot of things that are truth. But a few things you are way out there on. Which doesnt really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Nobody is perfect yet.
It is always good to speak the truth and the truth will absolutely offend some people who are having different sorts of problems and find the truth panful to hear. When they read it, their conscience attacks them and says, That's you! Stop it! Because that's what God does and how it works.
The devil wants to stop from letting your light so shine before the world. So he puts thoughts in your head which are demeaning in nature and not in love. And it sounds like most the time, you post impulsively and in sarcasm. What purpose does that serve for you? It's putting a basket over your candle. Hmm, I think scripture talks about that! (But you know that).
When I first got online lol, I was so sarcastic with people! I was right and knew I was right and if I beat them over the head with scripture then they'll perhaps fall in line...Lol! I got banned from a few boards. Then the Lord took me aside and taught, don't be like that. People will not receive the truth if it is delivered with a hammer. People will receive the truth if they receive it in love.
And so I went (Yikes) and did my best to learn to speak Diplomat. I'm getting better at it, but still have a ways to go because I grew up cursing everything we saw and did, a foul mouth kid. Me & my friends used to play the Dozens constantly, lol. ANd as I grew up it didn't really get better, I just got more precise. And having a delivery for your (or mine) words it will either...carry a negative connotation or a positive connotation to it. And the more I mature and the more I learn about the Lord...the more I understand that our goal is love learning and spreading and nothing else. So I try to let the truth speak it's own adminishments into peoples hearts and persevere to keep my added sarcasm and hammer antics...out of it!
WHen I did that it was like I took the basket off of the candle so the light coulfd be seen. All you are suposed to do Brother, is plant seeds. We plant the seeds, the Holy Spirit will water them into mens hearts! SO evenn when those younger in the faith insult you, you have to be able to let it slide off of you. They'll catch up eventually. Because if their yellig at you, then you planted a seed! Right? I know I am! SO let it go. Learn to speak Diplomat and to judge less.
I'm in it for the long game. Short term unpleasantness for eternal rejoicing.
Are you also just looking for temporal pleasures and quick ego boosts? Or are you really a seeker of God?
Amen! I too am in it for the long haul. We are Spirit Beings on a Human journey going to a School of the Lord God to learn how to Love properly, the way Jesus did. With a minor in...Delayed Gratification! God bless my Parents for teaching me to be patient. You want an expensive toy boy? Save up your allowance and buy it! Our Talents upon earth are only on loan from our Master, the Lord. That's all explained in the parable of the Talents. Now the Talent, is not a seed, nor to be put into the earth and saved. Until the Lord returns, we wave the Talent in the air and multiply it for the Lord with people, souls. I dont want to show up alone. I want to be able to say, Lord, look who I brought with me! Long haul? Try Eternity! They say the hardest part about being a spiritual being is the first 100 years.
You obviously have a lot of talent. I read many of your posts. You speak some very good truths at times, and other times not. You need to polish your delivery in my estimation.
You know what a good side effect is of learning to speak Diplomat? You find yourself asking yourself, hmm, could I have said that better and and not angered that guy or gal? If I rephrased it to be more diplomatic, what would they say then? SO I couldnt help but try to see the others point with no preconceptions to try to understand their line of reasoning and what they said. And when I did this, something magical happened. I learned new a couple new things and learned that I really hd been wrong about a couple things. So it made me more Teachable, a better student, a brighter spiritual being, and more profitable for the Lord. EVerybody wins when you remain teachable.
Even the Teacher has to be teachable. And what better place for a Teacher to be able to learn from her students is in school with all those kids! Have you ever learned anything from something a kid said? I have. I've always loved kids and playing with them and talking with them. Kids say the darndest things some times! Now that I walk with the Lord, it makes me wonder. If the children are closer to the Lord naturally because they just left there to be born here! (He knew us before He formed (our body) in the womb, so the kids spirits are in heaven before being born and enter the body...prolly at conception but for sure when the baby is born and takes his first breath. makes sense either way.
My kids are grown now though. I dont get to hang out with kids anymore.
but have you ever asked your two week old baby about Jesus?! (The book of Enoch says that Noah was born speaking Praises to God and glowing! It scared the pee out of everyone in the house and so they went to grandpa Enoch to ask him what do we do now? And Enoch told them, everythings fine dont be afraid. This is God that has done this.)
