and the prophets have a chip on their shoulders to the degree that they are very bothered by how the world is. Jesus had a huge chip on his shoulder even though he also had a great peace about him.
as Jesus said:
Matthew 23:37
New Living Translation
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let me.
this chip on the shoulder can be a good or bad thing. I get sick of myself just as much as I get sick of everyone. I would have no chip on my shoulder if people would just stop being insane but they keep driving me insane. and it's all because we don't understand, all because we have not seen the face of God. God has forsaken us because we have forsaken God even though God never stopped having love and mercy towards us. God is not the problem, it is us. and despite how much people say 'they know that'... they keep on making problems.
one person wipes out a family and takes their land because they are evil and so good people have to take up swords and defend the innocent people but then this entire mess turns into more evil because there is no end of the tree of knowledge of good and evil without God and it is only because some of us do not love God who is good that we have created so many evils and made God out to be like fallen man.
theology and dogmas are good and right but peoples understanding of them are the thing that they REFUSE to admit to, they literally don't understand that they are confusing themselves with God, they think they know, they think God is simple and they think they understand love. and then they attach their own understanding to the purity of God and say "this is your God O israel, bow down and worship the idol made with the hands of men"
John 16:1-3 (YLT)
`These things I have spoken to you, that ye may not be stumbled, out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God; and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.
Num 23:19-20 (YLT)
God is not a man--and lieth, And a son of man--and repenteth! Hath He said--and doth He not do it ? And spoken--and doth He not confirm it? Lo, to bless I have received: Yea, He blesseth, and I can not reverse it.
Num 24:1-9 (YLT)
And Balaam seeth that it is good in the eyes of Jehovah to bless Israel, and he hath not gone as time by time to meet enchantments, and he setteth towards the wilderness his face; and Balaam lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Israel tabernacling, by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is upon him, and he taketh up his simile, and saith: `An affirmation of Balaam son of Beor--And an affirmation of the man whose eyes are shut-- An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God--Who a vision of the Almighty seeth, Falling--and eyes uncovered: How good have been thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, O Israel; As valleys they have been stretched out, As gardens by a river; As aloes Jehovah hath planted, As cedars by waters; He maketh water flow from his buckets, And his seed is in many waters; And higher than Agag is his king, And exalted is his kingdom. God is bringing him out of Egypt; As the swiftness of a Reem is to him, He eateth up nations his adversaries, And their bones he breaketh, And with his arrows he smiteth, He hath bent, he hath lain down as a lion, And as a lioness: who doth raise him up? He who is blessing thee is blessed, And he who is cursing thee is cursed.'
Isa 1:28-31 (YLT)
And the destruction of transgressors and sinners is together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed. For men are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen. For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water. And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!
Matt 5:21-22 (YLT)
`Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment; but I--I say to you, that every one who is angry at his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be in danger of the gehenna of the fire.
Matt 10:24-42
`A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord; sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household? `Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known; that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops. `And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna. `Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father; and of you--even the hairs of the head are all numbered; be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better. `Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens; and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens. `Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword; for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and the enemies of a man are those of his household. `He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me, and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. `He who found his soul shall lose it, and he who lost his soul for my sake shall find it. `He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me, he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward, and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'
Matt 11:1-6 (YLT)
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples, said to him, `Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?' And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see, blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed, and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'
you see the truth is that God teaches us but for we the weaker ones have need of teachers that God fills (for he is the only real teacher) that we may understand until the day comes when we see the Lord for ourselves then we believe not because someone else told us but because he himself we see. it is VERY hard to understand some of the things God teaches without God himself letting us know. it is VERY easy for God to teach us but we have to be receptive to him and that means being spiritual rather than carnal, to not be a slave to the wisdom of the world and the perceptions of reality of the world and how it is but rather how God is and how we all work with his angels and in the heavens which we are all in right now and yet so many do not see and that is why they are carnal for they only perceive the carnal and so they receive the reward of the carnal but there is also inside of them children of God and their spirit crys out for a glass of water.
because walking in the spirit of peace is a reality and a constant experience that fills all of reality. because the wisdom from above is very real and the wisdom from below is very small and weak and dying and almost vanished but I seek to gather those that are dying on the streets but there are not many people that believe God anymore and they have replaced him with the idea of the modern world and the fearful past of fallen men and that God is far away even though he himself in the OT was there with his people. for he has no where to leave but we can be blinded from him because babies don't even know how to walk but they learn very quickly when you reason with them and they learn very slowly if you always mistreat them and then all they know to understand is how to be mistreated and it creates a constant cycle of torments and blessings until something huge happens, a big change, a death.
and so having proper nourishment and being treated by God rather than by men and not having the devil whisper into our ears what God is like we begin to heal due to God being our healer but if we are crazy and run away from God we have done a horrible thing to ourselves and to God for he wishes to make his deer better but his deer runs away in fear and wounded by her wounds she has made them worse by simply trying to escape from that which is good for her and so she must be sedated.
