One problem with leaning

"On understanding do not LEAN" Proverbs 3:5
I hope it is my imagination and not true.
I have seen Christians teach they themselves are "Jesus' brothers" and God looks favorably on people who do good to "Jesus' brothers".

But I can see believing just like that leads believers away from doing good to Jesus' brothers.

Jesus's brothers can be especially good to each other, but I don't see it happening.

To be teaching Matthew 25:31-46 means two classes of people is to be ignoring the least one of Jesus' brothers.

I may or may not be the least one, but I am sure I am being left out by the brightest of Christians.  I think it is not right.  And it might be dangerous according to Matthew 25:46a, but oh my goodness, not according to me.  LOL.

Nevermind

I'm in trouble now

Happy Forth of July!

I am sorry palmtree that I called you names.  I really am.  I think I would prefer to be loved as mouthy is and as tec is.  But because I felt pressure to say things that are not nice, alas, I shall never be loved like you.  But that's OK.

So now I guess I can explain my position and I might be sorry again.  But it's the Forth of July.

Why do I call you "stupid"?  Well, you gathered, maybe not on purpose, many people together to see things your way, against me.  Then you accuse me of doing what you are doing.  I hate that the most.

Why do I call you "bitch"?  A bitch is a dog.  Dogs bark to get attention.  I am sorry, that is what I saw you doing.  Also see "stupid".  Because that is what you and them were saying I was doing.  That's just weird.

Why do I call you "fucking"?   I probably shouldn't have.  Fuck is R rated.  Everyone who was not yet against me went over to your side because of a word.  Oh well.

Maybe the alcohol I might drink later is affecting me now?  Is there anyway to know?

Knowledge and will

The problem with knowledge is when it is attained by some they equate it with righteousness.  They believe that because they possess the knowledge of God it means they are Christ's Family and thus approved for everlasting life.  But devils can have knowledge.

So then how can one identify oneself as "a brother of Christ"?  I believe one cannot.

What should be the goal of someone wishing to be a child of God?

To be doing the WILL of God.  Who knows God's will?  "Jesus" knows it best.  But even Jesus does not know the "day and the hour".  So God alone knows enough to save you.

How can a person be "saved"?  Good question!    

Do not judge faith

To me Faith means doing something right, without proof to see it.
It means love working through a person.  The God I believe knows what is needed.  Humans do not know.  But faith causes an action of God to be accomplished through the person who has confidence, without proof, that God's Will will be done through the believing person.   Faith "expects" that with confidence.

But sometimes God's will is far away from what humans understand love is.  Sometimes tribulation comes to awaken people to their wrong course.  And sometimes the kindness of God does not seem so kind.

Someone who is TOO NICE will NOT do God's Will if the too nice person believes  it is not a kind thing to do.  It is judging.  Christians have heard "do not judge".  Do not judge the Will of God.  But there are powers that are not God's.  Words are power.  There are words that are not God's words.  That is what The Word is for.  The Word, The Christ, is for weighing what is believed by a person to do and to say.  There are other wise persons who have words that are true.  But God has the right to tell Earth what to do.  People do not have that right.  Who is God?  God is love.  Love should rule.  Love does not always feel good.

Being nice to all means hoping to make everyone feel good.  Everyone should not feel good.  Good should feel good.

People likened to cards

Hearts is a card game where the player tries to get no tricks or all of the tricks. (tricks are all the cards played in a round, one by each player).  The Queen of spades is worth thirteen points unless all the tricks are won, then it is worth nothing.

When in the player's hand there is a sequence of cards of the same suit they all have the same value because the player is holding all of them.

In Hearts the highest value card wins the trick.  So if I am holding the seven, eight and nine cards of hearts they all play the same way.  They are equal.

Now with people, if they are the same, it does not matter which one is played.  Or sacrificed, in whatever game your playing.  Understand?   

A commentary on porn

I am writing this in response to comment made for a YouTube video "Doom & Gloom".
The poster wrote ""Hahaha, this has to be satirical "Please don't watch pornography."  LOL.  Like there could be any logical thought why it is wrong"" by stickmanymickmany

If spirit is not real I have no argument.  The argument might make sense to anyone who believes there is spirit.  People have spirit.  I have heard from one man that the spirit people have is Holy Spirit.  I can not imagine how that is true.  But people have spirit.  "Where there is a physical body there is a spiritual body".
1 Corinthians 15:44
2 Peter 3:7  Might mean that the "spirit" of man has not been allowed to be free but is being "stored up", amassed probably behind the four angels who are holding back the winds of destruction.

What kind of spirit is behind pornography?  I think there are a mighty few that are on the other side of the camera acting it out that WANT to do it.  I mean they might have resigned their will of what they would rather be doing and learn to like it.  But I doubt it.  Anyway, we know most people used for the making of pornography are doing it against their will.

What kind of spirit is behind the making of pornography?

Greed for money
Want for a living
Fear
Shame
Regret
Hate
Helplessness

Is there anything good about it?

So the spirit, if there is a spirit, behind pornography is real.  Where is it?  Is it being stored up in the clouds?  

I don't push my ring theory

Because I think it's stupid.  But yesterday I found two books that prove it.  (not really prove in uh three dimensions-nevermind).

One is by Will Durant and I think the man is spot on.  He's dead though.

The other book is called Markings with a foreword by W. H. Auden.  A wordy man.  The author is Dag Hammarskjold.  I am descended from Swedish on one side of the family so I bought the book.  Also because it is written in the style of forum.

I got off track a little bit. (but didn't write it!)

How?

So far I have agreed with Will in everything.  But I have found nothing to agree with with (except that) W. H. Auden.

A ring is a circle so eventually opposites must be together (in a circle-not in a strait line-obviously)

There are suppose to be two withs there, Just saying.

Here is what I hope is not true what W. H. Auden said.  He is responding to what Thoreau said and I agree and also proves my point "It is as hard to see oneself as to look backwards without turning around".  I believe that is TRUE.  But then Mr. Auden had to ruin it by saying "The truth is that our friends--and our enemies--always know us better than we know ourselves".   I have two things to say about that.  The first thing is--my friends know that I am good enough and--my enemies know I am worthless.  But I don't agree with anyone, well, anyone who's alive that is.  I believe I am NOT good enough and I trust I am NOT worthless.  So he is wrong imho.

But I know how to make him right.  About what he wrote.  Our Friend, God and our enemy Devil knows us better than we know ourselves.
