Re: Does "knowing" you're right on a subject give you the right to at like a jerk?
Hello BLC,
Please read my post (#48) over again, as your reply does not address the core issue.
You asserted that
In message #48, I was simply pointing out to you scripture that says quite clearly that this is not so. We are not to reserve these things for God, but are to serve one another with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.
The whole scope of this thread (as I read it) is not that scripture should be softened or ignored, but rather that scripture demands to be WHOLLY obeyed. We are to be bold, yet to also be humble and speak the truth with love. Those that can only harshly rebuke are living only a partial Gospel.
Similarly, I would add that the definition of love is not what we think or experience from the world, but is what God lays forth in Scripture.

To be spiritual or spiritually minded is when the believer is walking in the Spirit, in submission to God through His word and doctrine. In (Gal 6:1), if you see a brother overtaken in a fault, you who are spiritual, go in the spirit of meekness and restore your brother. What this means is that God does not want a carnally minded man to do this but a spiritually minded man, because he is submitted to God in meekness through obedience and his own need for God. He approaches his brother in the spirit of meekness, being submitted to God, to restore the faulty brother back into the light from which he fell.
Anytime we approach or minister to our brother or other believers, we do it in meekness, because we are submitted to God through the light of His word. Meekness means I am under the one who has all authority. We minister and become servants to other because we are under authority. The servant is not greater than his master (John 13:16). Jesus served others because He was under the authority of the Father (Mt 7:28,29). The centurion recognized this authority that Christ had and only required that He speak the word and his servant would be healed (Lk 7:6-10).
The greatest in the kingdom is the one that is under authority and is the servant of all (Mt 23:11). Jesus washed the disciples feet because He was under authority. We can only wash one another's feet when we are under authority. A servant is one that in under the authority of God's commandments. Moses was under authority and the people were baptized unto him because he was under authority (1Cor 10:1,2), they were all under the cloud. Look at what happened to those that did not want to be under that authority. They complained, murmured and God sent leanness into their souls (Ps 106:13-15). Many of them were bit by serpents and died in the wilderness never inheriting the promise land.
In (Col 3:12) when we put on …meekness... we do as one who is under authority and submission to God, as a bondslave. Every time the scriptures refer to 'the meek' or 'meekness', substitute the term in some form as one that is 'under submission or under authority' to God's word and commandments. The women is not to usurp authority over the man because the man is under authority and is over the woman (1Tim 2:12). Titus was to speak, exhort and rebuke with all authority because he was under authority (Titus 2:15). Could it be that he meek that shall inherit the earth are all those that have come under the authority of God's word, His grace, His mercy, His righteousness and His headship in the body of Christ, the church?
