Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today? Fine, I hope. What does the Bible say about being transparent? Let’s look up the definition of the word transparent. The definition of the word transparent means allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen.
“The residents will see through any transparent attempt to buy their votes”
synonyms:
obvious, explicit, unambiguous, unequivocal, clear, lucid, straightforward, plain, (as) plain as the nose on your face, apparent, unmistakable, manifest, conspicuous, patent, indisputable, self-evident;
rare transpicuous
“the symbolism of this myth is transparent”
Having thoughts, feelings, or motives that are easily perceived.
Next, how does this word define my behavior? It defines my behavior by being accountable for my own actions.
Transparency means to me personally is when I become responsible for my actions and behavior. A sense of transparency inside of the Bible means that you are held responsible for your behavior. No matter if it is good or bad.
However, when it comes to governing my behavior, I have to do what is right in the eyes of God. When I think about it, I learn structure at an early age from living with my parents. 2nd Corinthians 5:10 says in the King James Version; For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. This Bible verse specifically states that I am responsible for my actions; even from the time that I was a child until death.
To be perfectly honest with everyone, 2nd Corinthians 5:10 speaks of transparency. It also speaks of judgement for everyone that we have done whether good or bad. Transparent as a behavior is very specific in nature.
This is something that should not be taken lightly. Transparency is a form of blamelessness. It is very straightforward by nature as well as precise, especially when it comes to doing certain things in our life.
What is the definition of the word forgiveness? Forgiveness means the action or process of forgiving or being forgiven. The Biblical Definition of the word forgiveness means: Psychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. … Forgiveness does not mean forgetting, nor does it mean condoning or excusing offenses. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting. Rather, forgiveness means letting go of the pain the incident is causing us. We forgive to give ourselves peace of mind, and in hopes that one day someone will return the favor if we ever offend them.
Next, Jesus says that “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. I am the type of person who will forgive everyone immediately.
This is because it does not make sense to hold grudges towards another person. I know that forgiveness is a two-way street. If I forgive another person, I would like for another person to forgive me of all of my trespasses and sins.
Further, I want to say that I have come a very long way behaviorally. I used to forgive other people immediately. Afterwards, the same person turns around and commit another offense toward me. 4 Steps to Forgiveness
Talk to someone you trust and open up about how hurt, sad or angry you may feel. Let your emotions out, and don’t apologize for them.
Don’t withdraw or isolate yourself. Stay connected and feel the pain, even though it hurts. With someone there to listen, the pain is more bearable.
The three types of forgiveness are:
Exoneration.
Forbearance.
Release.
Paul told the Roman Christians God would forgive our sins and cover them up (Romans 4:7). When God forgives our sin, he puts it out of his mind; he erases it from the pages of time; he forgets it. … Through Christ, God forgives our sin. Because of Christ, God forgets our sin.
Here are eight ways to work on that.
Get mad, feel hurt and grieve. …
Ask yourself whether your anger is constructive or destructive. …
Don’t worry—you aren’t saying the offense was OK. …
Practice stress-reduction techniques. …
Remind yourself why you want this person in your life. …
Set boundaries.
All sins shall be forgiven, except the sin against the Holy Ghost; for Jesus will save all except the sons of perdition.
If God forgive all of our sins, why can’t we forgive others in the same exact way? It is not hard to forgive another person. I really love people!! I only want others to love me in the same exact way I love them. However, I cannot force someone to love me. I cannot force someone to forgive me in the same exact way. I will admit that I suffer from depression. I also suffer from Schizoid Affective Disorder. I have to tell everyone the truth about myself. If a person does not love me in the same way I love them, then I will have to pray for them.
Proverbs 23:7 And What This Really Means to all People?
Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today? Fine, I hope. I would like to start things off by saying that Proverbs 23:7: Says; for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee: but his heart is not with thee.
This means that if a person, who possess a negative attitude and thoughts inside of his or her heart it usually defines them. However, this is not the case with all people, but there are a few, who possess a negative attitude all of the time. In my case, I remember when I used to be a pugnacious person growing up in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio. I also was raised inside of a dysfunctional family household. Even though, my grandparents, mother, and stepfather made me attend church, but it did not change my attitude.
The definition of the word attitude is a state of mind or a particular feeling. My feelings as a child and an early adult male did not change until I was incarcerated for a period of time. Next, I have had a lot of resentments towards my ex-wife as well as others that I know. Whatever a man thinks inside of his heart, usually defines his character. There are some people, who would carry their burdens with them to the grave.
Further, things changed as soon as I completed the 12 Steps. I know that I had to write down all of my ill feelings on a sheet of paper. I started with myself because I had a problem with myself. The reason why is because I was using vulgarity all of the time. I was using vulgarity when I was 7 years old. This is because my mother and stepfather were alcoholics. They were dispensing cuss words at each other for a period of 9 years. As I recall, my mother shot my stepfather when I was 7 years old.
Moreover, I used to be so angry that I used to cry all of the time. My school peers used to beat me up for 7 years. This is until I started boxing at the Salvation Army in Downtown Dayton, Ohio. I was 14 years old when I started boxing. I have taken all of my angry feelings on my opponents. In Addition, I also became a street gang member at an early age as well. My mother sold her shotgun just to get me a membership at the YMCA. I played basketball for 4 years.
Honestly, I prayed to God when I was in jail because I did not want to possess a negative attitude. I went to jail a total of 27 times within the past 22 years. As soon as I was incarcerated, I got into several fist fights with correction officers and other inmates in North Carolina. I will admit that I have changed a whole lot since 1997. On Tuesday July 15, 1997, I was in jail for a week for committing a reckless assault charge at the Men’s Uptown Shelter. This person called me out of my name.
Also, I was remanded to court ordered anger management by the Mecklenburg County Common Pleas Courts as well as the Dayton Montgomery County Probate Court for non-compliance. The judge at the time did not like me because I was just as educated as he was. I served a total of 3 years of probation for committing 2 counts of communications of threats. The charges were later dropped because I was only asking for prayer.
Furthermore, I want to say that when people curse at me, I usually swing on them. Currently, I have learned to walk away. This is the reason why all of my relationships with women were not successful. I was looking at porn, while I was involved in my relationships. The biggest problem is that I used to have is a very impulsive behavior. I am more reactive; rather than proactive. I guess this is the reason why I have an “I can do bad by myself!” attitude.
Whenever, I get upset with anyone, I usually pray to God because I do not want to get into trouble. It is a shame when Law Enforcement know me in 3 states. For instance, Ohio, North Carolina, and Michigan; members of Law Enforcement in these states know me personally. My record does not exist anymore because I have completed probation and anger management for 6 years. When it comes to the Bible verse at hand, I will have to say that God knows me more than mankind. Man can only form an opinion about me. I have learned over the years to grown spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically. As far as eating and drinking are concerned, I no longer have a desire to drink alcohol in excess as well as smoking marijuana.
It is that eating and drinking can be done in excess as well as gluttony. There is a period of time when I am angry or upset, I do not eat or drink anything. I have gained a lot of weight this year by drinking fluids. I am beginning to realize that it only takes one thought that could lead to a possible relapse. This is all it takes is one thought, and you will be off to the races all over again in active addiction.
Before that takes place, I have sense to call my AA Sponsor and talk to him about my concerns. I have a network of friends, who are in recovery that I can talk to all of the time. I will also admit that I always have a positive attitude every day of the week. My heart and mind has been pure for over 7 years now. I am a brand new creature in Christ Jesus. I have been clean and sober from alcohol and marijuana for the past 32 years now. My mother was very proud of me when I became clean and sober.
Finally, I want to say that I love all of you very much. My disposition has changed dramatically since February 15, 2015. I am sharing God’s message with everyone. Please continue to keep me in your prayers because I suffer from multiple health problems.
Are We Supposed To Watch Our Mouth and Tongue Daily?
By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins
Praise The Lord Everyone!! How are all of you doing today? Fine, I hope. I have a very important question to ask all of you. Are we supposed to watch our mouth and tongue daily? The answer to this question is yes.
This is simply because anytime that a person does something without thinking about it in advance is prone to getting into trouble. I want to inform all of you that I used to have an anger management problem from 1990-2002. This is simply because I had been diagnosed with a mental illness. I was the type of person who was officially diagnosed with a mental illness at the age of 32. I want to inform all of you that my grandmother used to quote this scripture all of the time to me because; I was the person who was very hyperactive as a child.
Next, I want to inform all of you that I grew up in a dysfunctional family household. I know that I am not supposed to dwell on my past, but there is someone who can read my testimony and reconnect with all of their family members and acquire Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. For nine years, I was abused as a child verbally and physically by my stepfather. He was a very aggressive man. I want to inform all of you that he shouted at me on a daily basis. I am mentioning this because it almost got to the point that I almost did not trust myself.
Further, I thank God each and every single day for changing me for the better. Although I did not have a low self-esteem. I want to inform everyone that during the 1970s, I used to get chased home by my so called friends. I will admit that I used to get beaten up by my neighbor across the alley from me; while living inside of an apartment complex in Dayton, Ohio. This went on for 9 consecutive years. I also was exposed to a lot of street related activities as well. I know that I am a brand new creature in Christ Jesus according to 2nd Corinthians 5:17.
Moreover, I want to say that I had to learn how to watch my mouth and tongue as a child because my elders in my family used to correct me very quickly. To be perfectly honest with all of you, I have changed because I have prayed to God on a daily basis to remove my desires to drink alcohol and smoking marijuana. I want to say that I have to give credit to a whole lot of people who prayed for me for so many years that I became successful in life. Are we supposed to watch our mouth and tongue on a daily basis? Yes, we have to give thanks to the Lord for the good and the bad. I am truly grateful for the Lord Jesus for changing me of all of my selfish ways.
Finally, I want to inform everyone that my life has changed because I have selected better people to connect with on a daily basis. I affiliate with members of my Church because I like to assemble with all of the Saints of the Lord. I know that there were times that things have changed for the better because I prayed for it. I praise God for the promise. I will admit that my attitude about life has changed. I had to take anger management classes for 8 years in Charlotte, NC. I also had to apologize to all of my family members for the bad things that I have done to them.
In Conclusion, I want to say that I still need your prayers because my family members do not like my messages regarding the Lord Jesus Christ. I do not understand why my family members are not speaking to me? I do not understand why some of my friends do not understand me as a person. I know that I am not perfect, but I strive for spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection. As long as I have Jesus Christ in my life, I am doing my very best to watch the language that I use. I think before I act. I am more proactive rather than reactive. I am happy to have Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. Thank You for reading my essay!!
What Does Matthew 12:36-37 Really Meant in Real Life at This Present Time? By Anthony Joseph Hopkins August 27, 2022
Matthew 12:36-37 says: But I say to you that for every idle word man may speak, they will give account on it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. Let’s examine this for a moment or two, I did not know that God is recording our steps as well as our actions.
For Instance, the way we speak to each other on a daily basis is being recorded. It goes inside of our Book of Life. The Book of Life is our history from birth to death. It is a collection of behaviors, actions, reactions, and our tears will be collected to form the Book of Life.
Next, I want to inform all of you that everything that we do in our lives is being written down and recorded. I did not know until I started reading the Holy Bible that God is going to judge us according what we have done for Him. Our deeds and personal works are going to be judged. God wants all of us to help each other.
Further, I want to inform all of you that things are going to change very quickly. This is the reason why everyone is saying stay awake!! If you are caught sleeping at a very dangerous time as this, you have to stay sober, vigilant, observant, curious, and understand your own environment. According to Matthew 12:36-37, it is saying that the spoken word is going to be questioned. This means that what we are saying out of our mouth is going to either justify or condemn a person.
Moreover, everything is changing very fast. I have noticed that each year since the millennium year 2000. Each year is traveling very fast. This is because God is going to return for His People!! The things that we eat every single day is being written down by God.
God would like to know whether or not we are healthy to serve inside of His Kingdom. Do you know that the music that we listen to is being recorded by God? He wants to know whether or not we are double minded. God wants to know and understand us because He is determining whether we are of the world, or we are serving Him. God will even test our works to see if it will survive.
Finally, I want to inform all of you that we all have to get prepared to meet God. At least for me, I would like to get myself in shape to meet him. To be honest, God sees right through people. I would like to help other people to get themselves together just to meet God. I will admit that I need to get prepared mentally, physically, emotionally, and intellectually prepared to meet God.
I also have to spiritually prepared as well. I really have to pray every single day of the week. I have to pray frequently and without being afraid. Praying and reading the Bible are two ways that God can listen to me. I know that I have been having a lot of ups and downs when it comes to my behavior. I have been listening to auditory hallucinations and female voices from the women who scammed me out of money.
In Conclusion, I am doing my very best to change my behavior. I have even changed the music that I listen to. I even changed the environment that I am going to each day by shopping at BP Gas Station for certain things. God has been listening to me and He has been upset because I have been listening to Mary J. Blige, and other talented musicians who are good. When you look at my life and see what I see on a daily basis, you would see a person who is very depressed and sad at the same time. There are times when I have been thinking about solving things quickly, but I cannot do that because I will not go to heaven if I commit suicide.
In Summary, I want to say that I am content with myself right now. I would like to admit that I need a job, so that I can pay my student loans very quickly. My words that I am typing right now can justify me or condemn me because I have not been paying the right amount of money for tithes each month. I would like to talk to my pastor at church to find out what is really best for me.
Right now, I am walking around inside of a circle for the past 56 years. I am trying to really find myself. I know that my life has not been the same. I want to say that God is going to censor me for the way that I have been conducting myself during the past 30 years. I have been clean and sober for 32 years. I understand that it has not been easy for me academically in College as well as High School.
I want to thank all of my readers, who read my information. I want to thank all of the people who pray for me on a daily basis. I want to admit the truth to everyone. I want to inform all of you that I had a learning disability, while I was a student at the University of Toledo for five years. I tend to fail test because I do not study well in advance. This is all my fault.
I want to inform all of you that I have written three books. I do not have any business acting like a juvenile in my behavior. I have been running to mental health institutions for help for the past 25 years. I want to let everyone know that I am losing my memory. I have lost my short-term memory all together. Yes, I have a learning disability right now. I graduated from high school at the age of 20. I attended Job Corps in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Wednesday June 22, 1983. I stayed in Job Corps for 4 months. I came back home to Dayton, Ohio and graduated from high school.
I graduated from the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio with a 2.41 GPA. I only earned all Cs throughout school. I had to challenge myself in College by studying much harder than my peers. My peers were younger and smarter than me. I am an average student. I want to say that my family members are a whole smarter than me. My niece and nephews are smarter than me.
My niece earned her Masters Degree in Social Work two years ago. She is getting paid $85,000 dollars per year right now. I am proud of all of my niece and nephews. I consider them as my children because I was not able to become a father in real life. I sustained an injury to my groin on October 21, 1979 by playing football. I got speared tackled to the ground while I caught the football. This is the reason why I cannot become a father.
This is a report on the advantages and disadvantages between cohabitation and a traditional marriage. Let’s look at what are the two as a whole. The definition of cohabitation is when two people either male or a female live together inside of one house. On the other hand, both men and women can live together for one common purpose. It is based on necessity and its sole purpose is to survive by putting all of your resources together and maintain a specific place to live. If it applies to non-married couples, the only thing that is accomplished is the bills are getting paid. For example, the utilities, food, and rent are being paid by someone who has income coming from a specific source. On the other, anyone at any age usually cohabitate as a means of testing the waters. This is to determine whether the person that they are currently living with is suitable for marriage.
This is done on a trial and error basis. Anyone who agree with cohabitation as a means to figure out whether this person is a candidate for marriage, then good luck!!!! As far as a traditional marriage is concerned, it is when a man and woman who has done things the right way, and they are ready to settle down and join a life partnership. A certificate from the state of which the union has been official is required. It does require a great deal of planning and responsibility when it comes to both men and women. Some people pay for their own wedding all by themselves. There are others who would prefer to have others to assist in this process. A wedding planner or ministers of a church are examples of people who will assist in this process.
We are not saying that family members could not help. It varies according to how family members accept the bride or groom as a member of the family. Now each member of a cohabitated family household as well as a traditional marriage must have some financial stability. This means that each member of the household must carry their own weight on a financial basis. You cannot have one person carrying the full load all by themselves. If this is the case, then you will have conflict inside of the residence. This is not a laughing matter. This is because women are stronger than men when it comes to maintaining a specific household.
This is because they are organized and straight to the point when it comes to paying bills as well as buying food. Women are better planners when it comes to dealing with childcare, but they cannot do it all by themselves. This is the reason why men should be able to keep up when it comes to learning how to listen to women. If not, then a man who does not know how to manage the affairs of a household and children will always have trouble. This is because some men tend to allow women to pay for all of the bills and they also are controlling inside of a cohabitated or a traditional marriage environment.
For more information about this, try looking into your law enforcement statistics as well as issues pertaining to domestic violence. This is not to say that there is not any equilibrium or equality inside of the household. Therefore, good communication skills are necessary when it comes to maintaining a household of any kind. It is always very important to understand that there are more women and men who have decided to try the cohabitation method. Why is this, this is because it is much easier on them than getting married.
This is simply because an average person will have to find out how you are personally before they will decide to get married. This is the feeling out process. It is a feeling out process because it enables men and women to find out all about each other. Like they say, you have to find out what is sand from soil. If a person does not know the difference between sand and soil then this is a problem. Traditional marriages are not lasting very long for young people between the ages of 18 to 40. The reason why is because there is a breakdown in communication and there are times that both men and women hold on to emotional baggage from the past. If there is baggage from the past, then it is very difficult for couples to have a successful relationship.
Men and women are different when it comes to communication in the first place. If a man is afraid to share with his spouse or significant other about his personal feelings, then there is a problem. This means that his ego is inside of his body and he is hiding his true self. A man’s ego is like a cage that he tends to hide inside of whenever there is a conflict inside of the home. Men on the other hand are supposed to become leaders inside of an average cohabitation or traditional marriage household. If he is not a leader, then why is a woman so reluctant allowing him to spread his wings and fly? I guess women tend to fear that they cannot find another man to replace the one that was lost. This is an insecurity on their part because like they say, people can do things all by themselves.
People will have to become secure within yourself. By becoming secure, this means to gain confidence and become more responsible for your own actions as an adult. Cohabitation has its disadvantages, by saying this; it means that men and women might not get married in the first place. There is not a purpose. You are just living inside of a home and paying the bills. What do you have to share with each other? I guess nothing much!!! What are you intentions in your cohabitated home environment? Evaluate yourself as a person and ask your spouse or significant other to do the same.
Disadvantages in a traditional marriage are unemployment, a lack of childcare resources, extreme poverty, and breakdown in communication between husbands and wives, as well as active addiction issues. In a traditional marriage, men and women refuse to be honest with each other about their personal needs. This also applies to a cohabitation environment. There is so much dishonesty and a lack of harmony that it causes men and women to separate and go their own separate ways. Departure is extremely difficult in cohabitation and a traditional home environment. If men and women are not honest and truthful from the very start, then problems will arise and there will never be a purpose or a set foundation for success in any of these relationships. Cohabitation and a traditional marriage is really what you make of it. If your life at the present is not up to your expectations, then try attending church and request for God’s help. It is God who provides us with the air that we breathe each day. It is God who gives us our life and bless us with the people who we choose to share our life with. God Bless You!!!
Good Evening and God Bless All of You!! I would like to say that this Bible verse is one of my favorite verses. This is pertaining to Jesus Christ, who will come to the earth a second time, and He will judge the earth. Jesus Christ will judge the world with righteousness and the people with his truth. I really believe it!! It is time for all of us to get our lives in order right now.
For me personally, I have to repent of all of my sins, and get serious!! This is very serious for everyone to repent and be baptized in the name of the father, son, and the Holy Spirit. I want to say that this is a time for me to completely change for the better. I have changed a whole lot. For Instance, I want you to be my God!! God, I want you into my life. I want you Lord Jesus to dwell inside of me. I want you to care for me in the same way my mother cared for me as a child. I am only a Child of The Most High God!!
Further, I want to say that when it comes to this Bible verse, I also have to include Acts 2:38. I have to say that it is time for me to do some spiritual house cleaning right now. This means that I will have to stop watching the news at night. I have to really stop voting for men and women in politics. God is all that I need. I am very sorry for voting for president of the United States, Mayor of my hometown of Dayton, Ohio, and selecting other people to govern the nations.
Moreover, I want to mention that I have to include Romans 10:9-10 as well. I am literally ready to do my house cleaning, and I mean it this time around. I know that I still have a long way to go in my Spiritual Walk. I have to make sure that I am worthy in the eyes of Jesus Christ. My life has been filled with ups and downs during the past 10 years. I have to prepare in advance to humble myself, and change for the better. The Lord has been good to me for a very long time. I still have some growing up to do. I am ready for the Lord to give me a strategy to change forever.
In Addition, I want to inform all of you that I am including these Bible verses because I am ready for the Lord to use me as an instrument for truth!! I want the Lord Jesus Christ to please pay for my book to get published. I am praying really hard for the Lord to publish my book called My Grace is Sufficient for Me.
Dorrance Publishing Company out of Pittsburgh, PA has mailed me a contract that consists of 50 pages of information regarding my book. I have not signed the contract because I have to pay $5,600 dollars for them to publish my book. I do not have the money to pay for my own book to get published. Please pray for me because I am trying to publish my very first book. Lord Jesus, please pay for my book to get published. It is a Christian Book that talks about my life, and God’s Forgiveness.
Finally, I want to say that I am very sorry for going on a tangent. It is that, I have a book that everyone would love to read. It is that I do not have the finances to pay for additional copyrights as well. I need a whole lot of prayer for me, and for my book to get published with Dorrance Publishing Company. The Book of Psalms consists of many Bible verses coming from David, Moses, and other Writers that the Bible hardly talk about. Every verse inside of the Bible is very serious. Jesus Christ is going to come back and judge the earth, and everything inside of it. I am taking this seriously because I am praising the Lord all the time. Thank You Jesus for saving me. Thank You Lord Jesus for allowing me to write this essay. Thank You Lord Jesus for talking to me right now.
In Conclusion, I want to say to everyone who is reading this essay that I really need all of your prayers, love, and support. I love all of you very much!! Take care of yourselves!!
What is excommunication? Let’s look at what it really feels like to be excommunicated for a brief moment. Excommunication is when someone is not being spoken to. There is not any contact whatsoever. A person can feel excommunicated inside of their own home with their own family. Whenever there is an altercation or argument, people inside of the residence do not communicate with each other until there is a resolution to a specific problem. Just because a person is writing about this, does not mean there is a specific problem. There are solutions when it comes to excommunication. First, find out where it is coming from and resolve it. How I personally feel about it, I have been going through this in my own personal life for a very long period of time. There are issues in my own family that are not resolved, but I rely on God or a Power greater then myself to resolve it. Second, it is really up to the individual who is going through this to deal with this in a way that is constructive.
For example, there are counselors that are available for those who are in extreme dire need. Third, animals and nature are a very effective way of dealing with hurt and pain. An example of this consists of having animals as a means of healing. Animals as pets are therapy!!! Animal therapy as an alternative is extremely effective!!! Do you know that having a cat or dog inside of the home, heals a person and it provides unconditional love between animal and human. However, there are those who enjoy critic sizing others through the words from their own mouths, that backbiting itself is a sin. In the book of Ecclesiastes 11:11, it talks about a snake that is not charmed that is capable of biting. This is no different when it comes to people. People will bit you in the same way that a serpent would. This is the reason why others wait on their Eternal Blessing from God Himself. When God bless a person with that special someone, it is forever.
What is persecution? Persecution is when one is condemned by others for reasons that are unknown. Persecution can affect people in many different ways. It affects them physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, financially, spiritually, and personally. Persecution can also become self inflicted!!!! A person can persecute themselves because of a lack of motivation and effort to progress. Persecution can also affect others by the way they are treated inside of their own community. People can mistreat others due to the misunderstanding of another. If this person is not confronted face to face over this problem that they are having towards another, it is not the victims fault. It is the fault of the one who is afflicting the damage towards another. Physical persecution is when someone uses measures that are in peril against themselves. For example, this also can mean that a person refuses to deal with issues that are affecting them.
There are also other reasons why people hurt themselves. A person can hurt themselves based on the pressures of life that are extremely difficult for them to deal with!!!! Furthermore, this also means that there are others that are bothering them so bad that they also need to be confronted. It is really not the person’s fault to begin with!!! This is also the fault of the other person who is causing physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual torment towards another. There are many people who just do not want to see another person happy. This is called discontentment!! This form of discontentment is called jealousy to begin with. Someone can resent you based on who you are as a person. People can dislike you based on what you can do for yourself.
This is an extreme profound fear of another person’s success is the fault of the persecutors themselves. If there is a fear of someone else being successful and you are not, it is your fault after all. This means that you have a real problem with your own self that you are really afraid to deal with. Mental persecution is when a person says things that can hinder them from their own successes. An example of this is saying I can’t!!!! Another example of this is telling yourself that you cannot do anything because you are afraid of failure. There are friends and members inside of your own family that can hinder you from success.
This is classified as mental abuse!!! Mental Abuse is words from the mouth of another that are extremely painful that it inhibits another person from freedom. Sometimes people can tell you out of their own mouth that they love you when they really do not. This can also be classified as mental torture!!! Why be around others who are always a negative influence on you to begin with. Inside of a relationship, if your spouse or significant other is really putting you down all of the time, why deal with them. If it is your own choice as a man or woman to deal with someone who is bad for you, this is really your fault.
Spiritual Abuse is when a person does not give God a chance to begin with. When a person does not give God a chance to be involved in their lives, this is not God’s Fault, it is the fault of the individual. You already know that God is always there whenever you really need Him. This really means that God and Jesus Christ should be the focal point in anyone’s life. God and Jesus Christ are involved in my life right now because I want it!!! I crave God and Jesus Christ on a daily basis. I read my Bible and say my prayers each and every single day. I also attend church services on a regular basis. I am not saying that I am the Most Perfect Person when I am not.
I am just like everyone else, I am a human being. According to Charles Darwin, human beings are called Social Animals. A social animal is one who uses a language that is audible and is heard from others. Language can be spoken both verbally and nonverbally. Being called a social animal is not to offend anyone. This is based on theory from a person who had atheist views to begin with. This person did not believe in God to begin with. He did but his viewpoint had changed over a specified period of time. Giving God more of your time each day as well as prayer and meditation really helps. In conclusion, I want to mention all of this because I really feel that life is really what a person makes of it. It is based on chances and efforts that we make in our own lives. I really feel at this time that God is the one who can bring about change in anyone’s life.
As long as you give God and Jesus Christ a chance to really clean up your own life. Things will get better for you. At least I can say that all of my mistakes from the past have been erased by God Himself. However, inside of the eyes of a man or woman, I will always go through stress and strain. This is because they do not know the real person inside of me. This means that they did not know me personally to begin with. They criticized me when they really did not know me. My relationships from the past were life’s lessons to me. This means that the women who were involved in my life did not appreciate me for the person that I am to begin with.
I was never appreciated nor accepted as a member of the human race by them anyway. This includes the online relationship that I have had with women in the past. There was never a purpose in the relationship. These were women who had taken advantage of someone who was only doing God’s Work. Anytime that a women deceives an honest man by telling him what they really need instead of addressing the problem to begin with, this person did not like him in the first place. Therefore, if a person is going to establish a relationship with the member of the opposite sex, it should be based on honesty, truth, love, peace, happiness, and dedication. Loyalty is very important in a relationship.
This means that people need to be just dedicated to spend the rest of their lives with the person that they are willing to deal with. This is extremely important. No matter what a person goes through in their own personal life, God will repair all damages. Man and Women will have to accept the fact that relationships are based upon effort, time, dedication, and the willingness to spend quality time with that special someone. Just being there emotionally, physically, mentally, and physically, and spiritually is extremely important.
Forgiveness Part #2 is simply about asking a very important question. How many times shall I forgive my brother? The answer is 70*7 = 490 times. I will admit that I have to work on this issue myself. This is simply because people has been cussing me out as of late. I know that I have to forgive each person 490 times.
This is the truth. I know that it is very hard for me to forgive each person 490 times. I know that each person must forgive me a total of 490 times. I have had one of my AA Sponsee cuss me out to my face. I did not say or do anything to him personally. I have learned to become humble as of late. I have more respect for other people’s feelings. I am a sinner that needs grace and mercy.
Next, I want to say that I have put up with a lot of crazy stuff from other people. I know that I get depressed because people have been cussing me out for no reason whatsoever. I guess when you do too much for other people more than yourself. This means something!! It means that I have to keep my enemies close, and my friends closer. This means that you have to make up with everyone. There are times that I get so angry with people that I want to fist fight with them. Currently, I walk away!! I would rather walk away from you than to get myself into trouble.
Moreover, I want to say that I forgive other people because the Bible tells me to do it. One of the things that I am supposed to do is respect other people. I know that I need a lot of work myself. Forgiveness is very easy, but you do not want to become a sucker!! There are not any suckers inside of God’s Kingdom!! There are real people inside of heaven’s gates. This is where I want to go someday. I know that I am going to be judged by God Himself for the sins that I have done inside of my body.
With the precision of a surgeon’s knife, the Holy Spirit sliced into my heart, convicting me. It caught me off guard—my sin of favoritism.
Hours before, I’d listened to Mary J. Blige, and attending church. The clip highlighted how easily we can fall into judging and favoring others. To further illustrate the point, we were divided into two different groups based on one aspect of our lives, something we had no control over: our eye color. People with blue eyes were to be treated differently than those with brown eyes.
Soon comments and accusations were flying back and forth. The responses of those discriminated against felt strangely satisfying to me. One woman in particular spoke with such disdain; her condescending attitude only proved her lack of awareness of those who live in the margins every day. I confess I was happy to have her sit in the back of the room as a member of the “discriminated” group, so she could experience a lack of equity.
The next day, our group entered into a time of prayer, confession, and lament. That’s when God opened my eyes in a new way to Galatians chapter five, where Paul lists the works of the flesh: enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy. The very things our team had sought to address and combat head-on were now being revealed in my own heart. I had judged that woman, and in thinking less of her, I showed partiality toward others who appeared more self-aware and further along in their faith journey.
“My brothers and sisters, do not show favoritism as you hold on to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ… haven’t you made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” – James 2:1,4
This sin—my sin of judging some and favoring others—is cautioned against throughout Scripture. In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus couldn’t be clearer when He says,“Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.
For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use” (Matthew 7:1-2).
The Lord is the only one worthy of being the Judge. He’s the only one capable of judging fairly. “For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). It’s not our job to do the work of the Holy Spirit in convicting others of their sin, but we are called to respond to the Spirit’s conviction in our own hearts.
When we try to take God’s place as judge and jury, perhaps it’s because we’ve lost sight of just how great a debt Jesus died to pay on our behalf. Now, God’s “mercy triumphs over judgment” (James 2:13); His justice has been satisfied once and for all who love Jesus (Romans 3:25-26).
We’re all on a journey, learning to honor the Lord through loving one another well. Daily, as we walk in step with the Spirit, may we speak the gospel into our waking moments. As sin is exposed, let us draw near to our Savior. Mercy triumphed over judgment when Christ died for us, sinners, and rescued us from deserved condemnation. And mercy triumphs still, as a holy God looks at us and sees the spotless image of His Son.
Finally, I want to say that mercy triumphs over judgement. What does this really mean? Does this mean that we are already forgiven? Please explain this to everyone that you are affiliated with.
Praise The Lord Saints!! Praise The Lord!! How are all of you doing today? Fine, I hope. What does the Bible say about the word doctrine? What is an example of doctrine? An example of doctrine is the Truman Doctrine that said the US would work to contain the Soviet Union. Doctrine is defined as a principle or group of principles which are taught by a religion or political party. An example of doctrine is the teaching of the Ten Commandments in Christianity.
Doctrine (from Latin: doctrina, meaning “teaching” or “instruction”) is a codification of beliefs or a body of teachings or instructions, taught principles or positions, as the essence of teachings in a given branch of knowledge or in a belief system. The etymological Greek analogue is “catechism”. What is the true doctrine?
Celsus’s own beliefs, the “true doctrine” referenced in his title, is that of Platonism which from a modern materialist perspective has its own issues of supernatural and thus unproved claims and assumptions. Yet this Platonism is not central to his critique of early Christianity.
Doctrine. … Doctrine (from Latin: doctrina, meaning “teaching”, “instruction” or “doctrine”) is a codification of beliefs or a body of teachings or instructions, taught principles or positions, as the essence of teachings in a given branch of knowledge or in a belief system.
This doctrine states that there is one God, a singular divine Spirit, who manifests himself in many ways, including as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. This stands in sharp contrast to the doctrine of three distinct and eternal persons posited by Trinitarian theology.
Celsus
Celsus was either a Greek or a Roman who wrote during the latter half of the 2nd century AD. Very little is known about his origins or life. The work in its original form has been lost and the True Word survives only as excerpts from a work by the Christian scholar Origen, who quoted Celsus to rebut him.
What is sound doctrine KJV?
The term is found only once in the Bible, in 2 Timothy 4. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. — 2 Timothy 4:3-4 KJV.
Where does the Trinity doctrine come from?
The Christian doctrine of the Trinity (Latin: Trinitas, lit. ‘triad’, from Latin: trinus “threefold”) holds that God is one God, but three coeternal consubstantial persons or hypostases—the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit—as “one God in three Divine persons”.
Did the early church fathers believe in the Trinity?
Whether the earliest Church Fathers believed in the Trinity is a subject for debate. Some of the evidence used to support an early belief in the Trinity are triadic statements (referring to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) from the New Testament and the Church Fathers.
