Was it Augustine who said, no one was ever persuaded to love God because of harshness?
We love Him because of a great fear of judgement?
NO!
We love Him because He first loved us! Perfect love casts out fear.
All of the threads always wind up centering around the same exact thing, even though it might appear to be different things.
It's HOW you look at: If you love Me you will obey My commands.
One man sees this when he reads it: I must obey.
Another sees this: I muredered my husband in my heart for leaving his dirty socks and clothes all balled up on the floor. Lord, thank you that You have promised if I just believe and trust, you will see to this problem and I will obey You and stop murdering.
I think it comes down to the difference between WILL and MUST.
The "will" thinks, I don't know how He will accomplish this but I trust Him.
The "must" thinks, I will go to hell if I don't obey.
The first clearly sees their murder and so weeps at His grace and clings to Him as their only hope.
The second sees only outward murder as sin and so can bring the message of Gods judgement to others to get them to "straighten up and fly right."
This is how I have seen the threads, the difference between the posters. The first seems to be saying in his heart, Lord have mercy on me, a sinner.
The second seems to be saying in his heart, I want to help these others to not sin and become more like me so they will be saved.
I will say, I havent really read much of Augustine myself save bits and pieces of what others who might have read him share online.
But I am not sure what your post has to do with playfully adding a Barney video though unless you are all for it, in that case I would say, cool, Barney it is.
I'm actually kidding, I can only take so much syrupy sweet fakery
And the scriptures do show the different perceptions of various people listening in, and especially of that which persecutes Christ, or those in Christ, and lays in wait, travels in packs consulting together against both persons and the truth.
But as an observer I dont see the OP mirroring that kind behavior.
The scriptures bless me no matter what the topic, and I dont feel this death or judgment or condemnation coming through them at me as another seems to imply they are picking up. If you are in Christ why would you feel condemned by a topic on seducing spirits as the scriptures present them in various places? The same are spoken of throughout the scripture as by Christ, Paul and John. The harder topics seem to be an issue. I believe InSpirit just seems to bring in more to look at concerning these while there may be some others who seem to work harder at concealing them, holding them down or cutting them out. The only thing that comes to mind is that perhaps he fustrates that particular effort on their part? Maybe or maybe not, it might depend on who is (at the time) seeing this board has people of various protestant sects but that seems far more evident (to me) most of the time. Maybe its just certain of them who dont like these hard places discussed. But the apostles wrote of the things and this part of CC is for bible discussion part and less for the gift of gabbing about everything else under the sun.
I do not see the problem with his posting on the things he has studied and is sharing.
Thats all I have to say, God bless you
