Turn the other cheek, or turn over some tables? - When do we do what?

Over turn the tables .

A mandate to prevent worship in church and some cases even the parking lot .

 

[St. SteVen]

It raises the question, does God only forgive if we forgive? I think God forgives before we even realise or ask for forgiveness; Isn't that good news?
I think Jesus meant this by 'he sends his rain and sun on the evil and good alike' He doesn't withdraw kindness because we are not on his side or the side of others.

The matter of forgiveness is more like cause and effect ie, extend kindness to others and you will be able to see/ understand the kindness God extends to you/ all; withhold forgiveness/ kindness and you will live in doubt, fear, insecurity and the inability to trust/ unbelief......and be very 'religious' as a cover.

Interesting.
God won't withhold forgiveness forever, but...

Matthew 7:2 NIV
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged,
and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

New topic:

Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

If you don't have to, why bother? - You don't have to go to church. - Or do you? - You don't have to pray. - Or do you? - You don't have to worship God. - Or do you? - You don't have to read your Bible. - Or do you? - You don't have to support the church. - Or do you? - You don't have to help...

Could you get a tune to fit this TP?

NORMAL OPERATION

With practised smiles and trendy garb
‘fine thank you how are you?’
is heard amongst ‘together folk’
we’re well when we are blue

The water’s tested as we go
to see how we will fare
it’s safe to take the plunge I hear
our judgement frail and bare

In nakedness we interact
with covered eyes and ears
alone we walk amongst our walls
of hate and hurt and fears

The cynic speaks, the charged refrain
just take your angles home
we’re well you know, be positive!
viscerally I groan

Ahhh, flatter me with charming words
the ones I want to hear
transparency does not belong
to them, of that I’m clear.

The song, the song, ten thousand tongues
their mouths they have no lie
the truth, whatever it may be
a compromise means die

So just as steel will sharpen steel
one hand will wash the other
a thirsty, hungry, searching soul
is one I call my brother.

I do the opposite, I write word to music or side by side with a composer.
But the music I don't write but St. SteVen
Does from what I was reading :)

Lately, I have been working with select collaborators.
I provide lyrics and a solo or lead guitar part.
I leave the heavy lifting for those with the energy to do it.
