the difference between the wise and the ignorant

[juanmacarthur]

The ignorant person sees every offense from others as an opportunity to attack. He believes he gains an advantage by attacking every offense from others. However, the wise person knows that his advantage lies in forgiving every offense from others.

[psychologist hat] This sounds like someone who offends people a lot, and wants to get away with it using a manipulative definition of forgiveness [/end hat]

A good definition of Godly wisdom is in James Chapter 3.

Brother, we're at a dead end. We can't ask for the id. We all have an id that curses and a superego that blesses. We don't have to ask the id for blessings.

Peace to all men and women of good will

Regrettably Id, Eggo, and Eggo with cape only accounts for the flesh brain.

Once, a disciple asked his master, "What is the secret to happiness?" The master told him, "Don't argue with idiots." The disciple said, "I don't think that's the secret." The master said, "You're right."

It seems you are posting in Christian Philosophy sub forum, that sounds like Confucius.

Christ says "judge with righteous judgment" you have to be your own master, if you do not punish your karma others will punish it, and if you do not reward your dharma others will reward it, if you want something to go well do it yourself

Karma is a concept like the law. Christians are not under the law.

Judge with righteous judgment indeed. The righteous live by faith.

Proverbs 1:7 states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

Salvation is not by works, but by faith, so that no one can boast, and faith without works is a dead faith. Those who are hearers and talkers of the word of God are those who build on sand; those who are doers of the word of God are those who build on rock.

Those built on the rock do what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount. That sand & rock saying is the conclusion to the sermon.

James' letter also describes the same thing, faith that doesn't do anything good is dead.

Most of the sola scriptura church sees no need to listen to what Jesus said and follows their own tradition.

For the Christian, Jesus Christ is our Lord and Master. The apostle Paul wrote:

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1Co 6:19-20 NKJV)

I think a serious problem exists within the walls of every domination.
I like 1 Corinthians 7.
Not that this chapter is not directly related chapter .
But I see the answer for those who teach others they can divorce and pick another mate for life.
Paul writes that even if you are called while a servant..slave, do not attempt to be set free.
As I see it, that is our calling..
We are betrothed to Jesus until such time. We accepted the father's The Father declares He has done well., He'll tell His Son to go get the girl.
Look at Paul. Whipped how many times to near death. I other forms of situations I see much how important we consider it to be.
Read 1 Corinthians 7 again.
I did.
And I complain most days that a word I gave Christ 46 years ago locked me in the world of a narcissist wife.
I'm no one to judge others because i know my sinfulness was cruel and that I don't have any place .
Either way,I'll most likely see many of you.
That chapter in 1 Corinthians answers many hard questions.

Anybody who locks themselves into a concept and closes their minds to further introspect or knowledge, not only has stopped seeking God, but has built a wall around themselves to fortify what makes them comfortable. The end result is everything outside the wall is now the enemy and the entire purpose of seeking God has been defeated.
