What shook me up? The truth. and people not allowing me to be my arrogant, self centered self.. who thought i knew it all..
Am I still recovering, Yes, And I will be until I die,
hmm, You know what is sad Peter. Is you have not yet even begun. Because are still focused on self. Your conscious is clear because you THINK you are ok.. Everyone has been trying to tell you you are in danger, But you can not see it.
A person who is so hard that he can not see things which can destroy him,, Is in danger and he can not even see it,
Paul had to be knocked to the ground , made blind, and have a visit from God himself to repent from his self righteousness.
What will it take for PeterJens to be knocked to the ground, made blind, and allow Jesus to visit him?
Thanks for your response, I appreciate this, responding to your enemy, and someone
you have called evil.
If I read your response right my conscience should be telling me I am sinning all the
time and should be under Gods judgement, like you feel everyday.
Let me ask you, do you believe scripture? Our conscience is cleansed by the blood.
Paul had a clear conscience and walked in purity, blamelessly.
Now I have had a rediculously sensitive conscience, and any issue I would work through
in case there is a problem. So I know where I am, probably too well.
I also have faith in Christ and the cross and my sins are forgiven in Him.
And consciences do not work like you put forward. You either sear them so they
no longer function or you listen to them. But to have a clear conscience is beyond
you. That is so obvious. It is also why if you sin, your conscience will tell you, and
you can confess the sin and find healing. This is our faith my friend.
To try and make me into Saul is blind talking, because if I am walking with Christ in
the Holy Spirit, what are you doing? Whatever it is it is confused and agressive.
And I have never been focused of self but on Christ, and Christ asked me to sort
myself out, place love at my core and follow Him. If you listened to Christ you
would have done the same things.
So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.
Acts 24:16
My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.
1 cor 4:4
They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.
1 Tim 3:9
I think you do not agree with Paul. I believe you preach and have responsibility.
Maybe you should not have this role based on Pauls advice.
