Brethern:
First I want to say that I am just in awe of the depth of scriptural knowledge and searching that I find myself in the midst of. I am many times finding myself just not worthy to stand in your company.
But there comes a point when I must put on the mantle that G-d gave me to wear - that of shepherd of pastor. One who tends sheeps. Now to be sure you all are not my sheep to tend but rather anothers sheeps. But when I am near a flock of sheeps and I hear the bleeting of the wounded or the fighting between them who are in the flock my ears perk up. I am after all a shepherd and just as a mother is atuned even to the crys of any child so too am I to the sounds of a flock in trouble.
Y'shuah said "Love one another as I have loved thee" You know Y'shuah was smarter than anyone he ever spoke to. There was no man who ever lived that knew the scripture nor the heart of G-d like he did! No man has seen the Father but the son. His own finger was that which pushed the hands of the writers of that Holy word.
And yet he never was mean nor abusive to his brothers or his sisters. I mean he could have really on many occasions said "racha" called them stupid, berated them but rather he patiently and lovingly spoke to those who listened to him. You see He loved them - He loves us and He would never berate nor speak meanly to one of them.
Remember His command "Love one another as I have loved you"
Sheep should not bite other sheep. Sheeps are not carnivores they are vegetarians. Sheep is not kosher for other sheep.
Bretheren there is a cancer of meaness and shortness creaping in here. Some of the threads are just unbearably mean. Now I am not a moderator so I cannot speak from that point but I am a shepherd and I am telling you that what is happening is not good nor is it from G-d.
Sit back and ask yourself before you post:
1 Have I prayed about this? Does it build up the body? Is it from G-d or is it flesh? You know you can wait 10 minutes to post and pray over your words. Edify lift each other up sing psalms of praise. Do what Y'shuah would do.
2 Have I hurt anyone with my words? You know electronic typed media is really harsh sounding. If you think there is even a remote chance you have hurt some one take a moment send them a private message and get right with them. LOVE them!
3 Is what I am about to say convicting or condeming? Brothers and Sisters I come to you humbly and say take this as a conviction for your lives not as a condemnation "For there is not therefore NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"
I bring this to you all I pray gently and in love. I am prompted to say these things becuase of that which I have read publicly and privately. There are ones among us getting wounded. And I must because of my call do what I can to try and help those wounded sheeps.
Be well
Be blessed
know that you are loved
