Let who has not sinned cast the first stone, well said Jesus. Leave zone alone, so some don't agree with her fine, sometimes I don't but to condemn her?? Do you honestly believe Jesus does. If we are to hold anyone accountable it's ourselves we need look no further. We take one scripture and make a doctrine out of it, now it's ok to stone when rebuking or admonishing another. Take Gods word as a whole and it spells love and mercy. We all should hang our head in shame if this is loving thy neighbor, guy next door to me is a Muslim should I go stone him for not agreeing with me??
Jesus said.....
John 10
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
So what do those that do care for the sheep do?????????
Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
Will we cry out and obey God or will we keep silent because of our fear of the wolves?

This is exactly what Im talkin about consumed, its not just happening with zone either, too many times, instead of taking the time it requires to know someone we are too quick to hurt with our words and throw stones , Im not pointin fingers at anyone here, cause Im no better, Its one thing to stand for what you believe, quite another to be shameful , God loves each and every one of us and when we mess up , he wants to help us back up, put us on the right track so maybe instead of beating each other to death with words, we need to pray more.
When you start sharing the truth, every devil in hell will try to stop you. You will be persecuted, hated, mocked, be subject to gossip and all manner of evil speaking. This is when you must stand firm. We are in the front lines, do not let the devil discourage you no matter who he uses as his puppet.
Zone is one of these puppets, and I will not shy away, back down, or turn a blind eye to her attacks on me ,or others. But I will call her out, whether you all like it, or not.

we definitely need to pray more.
Dear Heavenly Father we pray for our brethren as they goes through a tough time in their lives.We pray for anyone undergoing surgery and undergoing spiritual attack. Please place a hedge of love and understanding around them and strengthen their shield of faith so they might fend off the fiery darts of the enemy. Lord keep those who mean them harm far from them and keep their spiteful words away from wounding their hearts. Remind them always of Your love. You are a God of healing, peace and mercy. Please Lord help us to know Your will and place in our heart Your love for all Your children. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

if you prayed to God you would not attack the sheep thinking they are wolves. there are things you do not know, you do not even care to comprehend. your pride is blinding you. just because you disagree with someone does not mean you act in such away. just because they treat you wrong does not mean you do the same thing back.
the Holy Spirit speaks to ALL His children and there is more to the picture you refuse to see. perhaps if you pray God will reveal it to you.

lol, this is my prayer for the American church
Ephesians 3
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

You certainly don't want to identify with the church and you separate yourself from it and from any sins she might commit. We are members one of another and members of Christ's body, flesh and bones but you want nothing to do with her. Jesus took her sins upon His body of flesh but you pray that she repents. Jesus shed His blood for her and suffered death for her sin, but you pray that she repents. Well aren't you the spiritual giant that lives in sinless perfection. Can you lay your life down for her as Christ did for you for all your wicked sin? Maybe this sinless perfection thing has gone to your head and soured your heart against the church like it has VW.
Truly, this is in your heart and you will continue in this judgmental attitude because you think too highly of yourself no matter what age you are. Know this, that pride comes before a fall, it always has and always will and you are no exception. When the heart is lifted up, God has a way to bring it to the ground. You might not sin as others do, but you don't have grace in your heart because God gives grace to the humble and the contrite ones. You are not fooling anyone, you are just exposing who you really are. Those that are sound in the faith have no problem discerning your heart and they will call you on it also.
