Colossians 4:1) Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 .) Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 3 .) Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4 .) That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 5 .) Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 .) Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
.........convicted me today........I seriously need to work on this.......and, with God's Grace I will defeat this weakness....sometimes I think I am just "seasoning my speech with salt" when, in reality, it's far more like ROCKSALT.......

this is what is on my mind, I am curious,
Hebrews 5:11-6:6
Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. [SUP]12 [/SUP]For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. [SUP]13 [/SUP]For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. [SUP]14[/SUP]But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
6 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, [SUP]2 [/SUP]of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. [SUP]3[/SUP]And this will we do, if God permit. [SUP]4 [/SUP]For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, [SUP]5 [/SUP]and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, [SUP]6 [/SUP]if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
So out of curiosity, what does this mean? Is this trying to tell us something about if we sin we fall away?
So what will that cause and why is it saying crucify him all over again? I mean Christ is not coming back to be crucified over again is he?
Could it be that if I sin and I go and ask for forgiveness, when that is done and is not coming back to do again, I might be in essence by asking for more forgiveness, saying I do not beleive he did take care of being forgiven?
Could I by chance here whenever I sin, if i sin, and go to God to get more forgiveness in essence saying I do not believe him when he said he took them away all of them?
Col 1:22 says so and many of scripture says so as well, we are forgiven. So if one sins again does that make the cross void or am I calling God a liar?

Ecclesiastes 7:5) It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.............9) Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools............ 11) Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 .) For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it......... 19) Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. 20 .) For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not..... 29) Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Philippians 2
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. [SUP]4 [/SUP]Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. [SUP]5 [/SUP]Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [SUP]6 [/SUP]who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [SUP]7 [/SUP]but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [SUP]8 [/SUP]and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [SUP]9 [/SUP]Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [SUP]10 [/SUP]that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [SUP]11 [/SUP]and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Matthew 7:3 And why worry about a speck in the eye of a brother when you have a board in your own?
Matthew 7:4 Should you say, ‘Friend, let me help you get that speck out of your eye,’ when you can’t even see because of the board in your own?
Matthew 7:5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the board. Then you can see to help your brother.
Luke 6:42 How can you think of saying to him, ‘Brother, let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the board in yours? Hypocrite! First get rid of the board, and then perhaps you can see well enough to deal with his speck!
Therefor no:

1 Corinthians 3
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. [SUP]19 [/SUP]For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. [SUP]20 [/SUP]And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. [SUP]21 [/SUP]Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; [SUP]22 [/SUP]whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; [SUP]23 [/SUP]and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
