It's true that we all make mistakes, from the very small to the very large. But I'm not here to address some definite differences between the small and big mistakes that has the human race in a social warzone. No. I am going to address something that I never noticed until recently.

Have you noticed that when you make a mistake of some magnitude in life and if someone calls you out on that mistake, that's all they ever do. Also, have you noticed that these people are very explicit in what mistake they're seeing, and explain in great detail how you are affecting the world around you.

Can you see what ability is missing in those who notice a mistake in someone?

A solution.

Yes, they'll tell you what is actually wrong with you, but won't have any useful information to help you on your way to a better you.

You may not see it, but I keep seeing this as the word 'hypocrite.' As I watch the daily news, I keep seeing disputes between America, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, China, Philippines, Taiwan, India, and so on. These leaders can see others faults but cannot see their own. When I put myself in a neutral position, I realize I'm no different from them. That's why I also think that all people are like that, no one is good except one. In my country, they always tell you what you need to do, always giving you a solution, even if it's not really a solution. But that's how they do things here.

Anyway, if we point out the faults of others and don't offer a solution, aren't we just doing the same thing we were complaining about?

Not necessarily. But exposing someone's flaws without offering anything constructive is still a mistake.

A solution.

Posting about the mistakes people make, looking for a solution!

Are you ready for the solution?

Christianity.


Question what do you have against Christians and Christianity?


What evidence what facts, do you have to back up your views?

Why do we need facts for when believing is more important?

Some people claim to believe in the spaghetti monster, others in fairies, Christians believe in what is true and the truth is based on facts.

Have nothing to do with those who say all you need is to believe.

We are told always be ready to give a Reason for your faith.

Believing in what?

The one who created this world, who came to die for the sins of his creation, that's that only thing that is good to believe in.

How can you believe in a truth? It's like saying "I believe the earth is a sphere" Do you believe the earth is a round ball floating around the sun? Of course not! So why believe in a truth at all?

The earht is demo
straightaway round, the ancient t teachers etc know from observations that it is round.

Truth fits with reality , that there is a God is the most basic and simplistic fact that fits with what we know of science.
Nothing does not make something, therefore something caused everything to exist.

Yes, they'll tell you what is actually wrong with you, but won't have any useful information to help you on your way to a better you.

You've probably been told this but you didnt receive it as truth for some reason...The solution to all of life's difficulties is our Lord and Creator, Yeshua, the Christ. Earth is the valley of the shadow of death, so we do have to pay attention and be willing to say Help when it is needed.

I do agree with you that a lot of people will do just like you say, they'll tell you what's wrong with you but have no solution. Read this:


Matthew 6:
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly..../KJV

That's Jesus talking, he tells them how not to do it first, but then He has the solution of how to do it right. Don't do it like you did, rather do it like this...and iif you read the whole chapter He does it again right after this. And again, first here's how you (the world) is making a mistake about it...so do it like this instead! (the solution!)

Whoa. Rest assured Brother that, you'll grow out of that.

You only believe!

Now look brother, Our relationship with God is based on Faith and Belief. Do you know the difference?

Faith is choosing to accept something as truth. SImilar to trust, almost interchangable with trust. When do you choose to trust someone? Well, they've never done me wrong or lied to me so, yes, I'll trust you to pay me back money that I loan you. You choose to have faith in him that He will repay you.

Belief (Believe/Believing) has a connotation of action within the word. SO in order to Believe something, you must take some sort of action. Do you Believe him, he will pay you back. Prove it and hand the money over to him that he is asking to borrow!

See the difference?

The biggest mistake anyone can make is rejecting Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah, the Son of God, promised, prophesied, raised up and sent into the world by the one true God.

I never make mistakes. I merely create opportunities for improvement.
