There seems to be a big bickering fest lately...

The problem with a lot of people in the forums is that they lack the emotional ability to adjust to certain situations in their lives. So rather than confronting the problem, they come here and attack people instead. I've had it done to me when I posted a thread about learning to be blessed while being single. Let me give you this example: even though I pointed out how I used to complain and whine about being single, she still proceded to post extremely sarcastic, snide remarks and whatnot just because she felt I was making fun of everyone (which I wasn't and she KNEW I wasn't). THEN she said that she really didn't mean it and was just mad at the world (basically) and how I should never take anything she posts seriously. I was....worried about her, to say the least. Believe me, I wanted to bust her out and it would have been all too easy to do it, but I didn't because it's not what Jesus would have done. So it's just like Lamb said, sometimes you gotta just bite your tongue and keep silent.

So I think this may be one of the many problems with people here. They don't confront their problems out of cowardice and/or laziness, so they come here and attack other people here instead. It's not cool nor is it right.

Also, it really tickles me when some of ya'll up in here have this "I'm right, you're wrong!" attitude (especially when it comes to denomination debates). Let me tell you something and listen good: JESUS is the Truth. He was here well before any of us existed. So to say you're right really is irrelevant for the simple fact that you're only speaking about something that already is and was since the beginning of time. Therefore, it is much better to say "I'm telling the truth" rather than "I'm right!". You're not right, but He is.

Ok?



And perhaps some of us have forgotten that we are CHILDREN of God?

John 13:34 .


34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.


Matthew 5


4343Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?



Matthew 5

10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

but where do you think satan would rather be? Would he rather be with a bunch of non-christians who are already in his clutches or with a group of people claiming to be christians? I'd have to imagine he'd rather be working his 'magic' among those who believe they have a relationship with Christ. Seems to me, alot of people work against Christ here but that's just an opinion.

This forum would be better with
Less sarcam.

Catlover,

For sure there is work to be done on our heart land, by Faith in Christ!!!

By His Grace I can say~~

By Faith in action,....God through Christ is making us Just Like His Dear Son!!!

PONDER TIME:
~~~Did you know that using "sarcasm" is doing sacrifice to The Amorite Nation,.....it's Pride?
And that's a sacrfice to a demon. Say Yuck Yuck!!

Jesus said in very simple form that what's in our hearts (as certain things He had said about) is what defiles us: Those Nations on the land that God told Israel about as well.
SAME GOD!!!

We are,.....bowing down TO PRIDE--FLESH NATURE--and the ENEMIES ON THE Promised Land.


I'll explain as best as I have it so far by His Love through His Word and His Holy Spirt~

When we want to express a feeling we have, inside, but this feeling isn't very Godly, we tend to give permission for our flesh-nature to take over and we walk right in the enemies camp and go shopping--if you will.

We walk in their camp, that small area and it could even a tenny-tiny area in our heart where we grab the groceries what we need to some how make a point to others with. We walk right up to this area of in our heart and we say:

"My Amorite--Pride inside? Yeah you there,...listen up! I know you can say what I'm feeling much more better than the goodness in me that isn't thinking this at all, but since I want to go with this feeling I'll take some of your fruit for my shopping cart today please. Just that little one over there. That will do me for this one situation here."

And then we pay him (PRIDE) for the 'sarcasm' that we take hold of: (WE MAKE A COVENANT).
And we then thank him for getting us out of the jam we felt we were in.
So we give our strength to Pride, to Satan. (BOWING DOWN TO HIM).
In all that, we have just given our lives over to Pride. Brothers/Sisters this ought not to be so, eh?

So what point did we really make due to our feelings?
An Amorite point is all we made, due to the feelings we had inside. We use it as a 'control' factor as well.

If we feel this way to even want to use sarcasm we must:

ONLY as The Holy One of Israel (Jesus Christ) brings this nation before you to admit first then do as He Has already said:

Ex 34:13
13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

A full recap of the Verse in Balance and in Context:

Ex 34:11-13
11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
KJV

All by Faith in Christ:

DESTROY SARCASM IN YOUR LIFE.

BREAK THEIR IMAGES IN YOUR HEART.
CUT DOWN THEIR GROVES IN YOUR HEART.

If not , for one thing, those groves keep on producing within after their own kind.

And that cloning IS NOT any good. It's very very bad-->

Our Heavenly Father,....wants us to close the curtain on these bad bugs who so want
an expression through us.

Now here's the acid test:
Rom 8:13
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:(((Death will work in us every time))) but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (((Life will work out through us and in us every time))) KJV -----> PLEASE DON'T JUST SAY YOU DO THIS,.......LOOK TO SEE IF YOUR REALLY LIVING THIS!!!

If not........just turn softly back to Our Loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!
Each time we all,.....turn back to Him in areas of our lives....He always sits on a Throne of Grace towards us.......each and every time. HE SURE DOES!!!!

If God confirms this to your heart, then who GAINED YOU WAS GOD THROUGH HIS WORD.
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY.



ENTERING IN SABBATH DAY:
When we repent of 'sarcasm' and like: (Anger, Rage, Unforgiveness and much more - Who are Enemies on our Heart Land) we are removing (utterly putting to death Rom. 8:13-14) our own works of sin and entering into The Seveneth Day Rest of God in Christ. And we are proving to God that we are His son's and daughters. But yes .......they (the enemies on the land) must come to the surface,....in other words God alone is the only one who sets up the circumstances to bring the enemies on the land (pride-sarcasm, anger, rage and unforgiveness and the like) to being them before us so that we can utterly destroy them from off our heart-Land.

Get it.......somewhat?
Though I know this stuff from God's Word isn't understood over night....I've been studying this for 17 years now and only 2 years ago I feel that God has brought me alone finally to graps a glimps of this in His Word.


NO JOKE!!!

In His Peace
And taking my own land back for Our Daddy's dwelling place as He leads by His Spirit,
