NaLuvena, and others dont misundstand me, I know the bible says suffering and glorying in Christ, i know that.
the matter of fact is, how do you know you are right? is your interptation of the bible correct? that is the question
the thing is, you believe what you believe is right, however there are people who believe otherwise, they believe they are right. etc
its suppose to be about love. what you guys are right, if you read the bible I can see how one might believe what you do, heck I was there, still am to a degree. However, I am learning that what I thought was right, is not right at all. are you open to being wrong?
its disheartening to keep people misunderstand me, just because you are right in your eyes does not make it so. I am no bible scholar, but I dont have to be to see you mis use scripture in order to "prove" what you believe.
if you want to believe what you believe so be it. I am not a judge. however, be open to being wrong, heck I could be wrong. in fact I am wrong in many things..lol
However, I see something wrong, and it does not line up with the little i know of scripture. love is love, good is good.
if you want to add evil into good, darkness into light, so be it. but you are Human, we make many mistakes. The Holy Spirit is the teach of Truth. we need to go by God's word, but by the relevation of His Spirit that brings the word to what it is suppose to be. anyone can read the word and think they know the truth, however, you wont Understand it unless The Holy Spirit explains it to you as it suppose to be.
I dont know it all. And I am in need heavily of myself in Hearing The Spirits leading,
but maybe im on the right track, however I know enough from what I read in God's word, that someething is wrong in your teachings of this,
YES God can bring goodness and bring goodness out of evil that has become on you
however He wants good for for you, not harm, He does discipline us, with word, and other ways, but not how you teach, I dont know it all, but what word says to me, from the little I understand it, something is wrong what you say.
The fruit of Spirit is love, gentleness, kindness patience etc. maybe we can use that in weighing what is of God and not. God is love
if you want to believe what you believe, be images of God, then do what you believe to other people..lol see how it goes
