Higher level of sinning = rejection of Jesus
People reach it all the time.
Why would anyone "need an enemy"? Satan a,d his minions aren't enough?
More strawmen accusations,from PeterJens...don't you ever get tired of it?
Ariel, I am a little surprised at you. Certain people choose to make enemies of others
to expose them for crimes which are not crimes, to make them sound evil and terrible,
to say the worst possible ideas they can dream up, hoping for something to trap them
in. This is making enemies.
And you think this is a straw man. Do you not see this happening day in and day out?
What have I been guilty of? Describing what people believe and how they behave.
I think you have an antagonistic spirit that looks for the alternative interpretation rather
than also looking at the point being made. It might help you to see this is not a battle
but a question of gently shinning a light on peoples emotional states.
I have noticed you have falsely accused me of many emotional positions which I am not
in or have taken. Now if I am not in these places, how are you coming to your conclusions?
It is like if I am accused of insulting, slandering, making people angry. I can do this by just
saying hello. So it needs to be more than this or else it is just ego speaking, and emotional
history. One member confessed they wanted to hurt me, for a long time. We apologised to
each other, when I learnt this. Honestly I do not want to cause harm to people, but I know,
showing their framework fails hurts. But I believe not because of my framework but because
after many years I am secure in Christ.
I was told I was being boastful, or proud, or claiming sinless perfection. So I just have to smile.
Jesus said if they rejected Him, they will also reject you. And these same people respond now
just like they did 2 years ago when I shared about love and Christ being the centre of everything.
I know I fail and need Christ every moment of the day, in everything I do and say.
It is funny people asking me to repent and depend on Christ more, and not on myself. Different
places, different hearts. Sometimes it is not words, it is the waiting on God, just knowing and being,
abiding and praising, lifting up Holy hands to our King.
