Is God a humanitarian?

[Lambano]

The comic below resonates with me:

(A lot of years ago, I made one of my typical sarcastic remarks at a status meeting, and my Director called me a "smart-ass". And on my next performance review, she wrote, "Don't be a smart-ass", where it is documented for all time in my personnel jacket at my previous company.)

Okay, what I'm hearing here is that you KNOW God commanded us to love our neighbors as ourselves - and you're a loner by temperament who finds dealing with other people to be difficult and probably pretty stressful and frustrating.

How close did I come to hitting the mark?

BTW, if that's true, you're not alone there.

Dude naturally people have difficulty dealing people. Thats why we need “the Saviour” to help us…

Cain killed his own brother…

 

[MatthewG]

I’m someone who believes in being authentic. I’m a failure.

Some may say why say such things about yourself it’s a defeatist mentality…

Yet they don’t see how I see myself in Christ, they don’t understand that it’s only him who does good through me by the spirit of him whom resides in the heart.

I admit to Yahavah of my failures and faults, and he isn’t mad or angry at me when I mess up. He just desires for me to continue to look at his Son, who did it all, and therefore be of faith.

Trusting he is with me, even if people don’t understand it at all…

Being a fraud doesn’t make a person look good. It’s fraudulent… therefore there are times where I’ll tell the truth and people are just confused or don’t understand cause they can’t read my own heart, which only Yahavah knows.

He seems my imperfections and he understands why I am they way I am, he doesn’t get on to me, though sometimes he has and I’ve learned from it.

Having a relationship with God is very difficult for some people because it requires us being faithful, and not actions of “doing” but resting in Christ whom brings comfort to us in our souls.

Still stand by this.

Cool.

If our feet are not on the ground, if the bellies of the hungry are not taken care of, if theology degrees are in our sights, if we have enough faith to shift mountains and have lot love, if our reality is full of advice and our hands are in our pockets we are clanging bells and tinkling cymbals.

You can be assured that many secular folk outstrip the kindness and generosity of many religious folk.

Are we not cognisant that every good gift is from the Father of lights? James 1:17

Yes tinkling of cymbels !
For I have seen such works and the child grows up with only hatred of all who brought them up, I know 2 of such well, who were brought up in the Church Home !
I knew them from grade 3 on, no love for the Home at all, nor any regard for God.
So the Church failed them ? for they are lost !

Any Socialist can feed people and give a roof over their head and that's called good works, all good ! but not what is truly needed, for that is Lost ! for it never came from Grace in fact !

Them 2 grew up to become Thieves !

I can say that my dad and mum was not of kindness or gernerosity at all ! but I did still did love them.
I know mates who's dad and mum was full of kindness and gernerosity, such made for a brat of the kid ? one was rude to his dad full on ! bad mouthing him to his face, like, narrrr wwhat ! rest them !
His dad was real nice bloke, they lived nextdoor.
his mum was all about my mate, he was the baby of the 7 of them.
He expected everything off them or cry hard done by etc.
We both got on well tho. but my big bro hated him.
Back in 1976 I rermember His dad had a old 1966 Falcon wagon and took us to the pictures and his cars brakes made a hiss sound every time he braked, his son claimed their were Snakes in the drum brake linings !
I remember his mum said he should of been a girl, cause all of them were boys. she was trying for a girl, that's why the 7 kids. he hated her saying that ! haha ! he would get really offended if something was taking him for a joke ! but everyone else was a great laugh to be had by him. he loved to bag people no end ! but he was a pommy. not to mentionhe full on bagged the Poms ! for rubbish cars and all.
