So im sitting at the bus stop with my headphones on just listening to my music, a woman approaches me, i didn't realize she was trying to speak to me, when i took the earphones out, she just wanted to know what time the bus gets there, but with extreme attitude, so i tell her what time it gets there, and also tell her there's no need to be rude, she apologized and said her husband of 12 years ignores her and she thought i was ignoring her, and her nephew was in the hospital after getting shot in the head! Man you really never know what someone else is going through, so i got slapped by the Holy Spirit for my quick judgment of someone else. So why don't we all be a little more patient with each other, especially those we meet outside our comfort zone

Care, did you ask to pray with her or just say, 'oh, I will pray for you, what's your name,' or, if intrusive that much not your thing, like maybe then, 'oh, I've had people I love hurt too( or maybe shot even, or, God puts it on your heart to say what you do when your husband ignores you, a lot of us men are not even aware of doing things like that, we need help :)). I will keep you in my prayers,' and then, ask for their name, care. Blessings, the Lord leads :)

Of course i asked to pray, she didn't want me to cause her husband was standing behind her, and the nephews name is John, she didn't give me her name, but please pray for her marriage and nephew, he has already had 12 surgerys

It's true. People don't always get angry and rude for no reason.

Praying for John with you. Yahweh, God bless you for your understanding, even if it took a moment or two. It most likely would have taken me a bit longer than it took you. Keep up the good works, all for the glory of our Lord, Jesus, amen.....

my comfort zone is in my house. so whenever I leave home, I'm outside my comfort zone but I pray and let God lead me through it. though I think I trip and stumble and fumble quite a bit, but eventually I will find a moment to pray and go back Home and rest.

It always makes me think how many people I ignore that God wanted me to speak too but I was too busy with what I thought was important to care enough to listen and respond.

Also her problems didn't excuse her from being rude, yes its very understandable, but she has no reason to be snippy with a stranger.

Perhaps some people think it rude of those that wear these headsets and walk around like they are in another world or have tourette syndrome all in the name of exercising their right to do what they want, when they want and if others don't like it, well, that's just tough, deal with it because I have to my music or I can't function in life. That's the attitude of some and it's no wonder that an extreme response comes from those that have to be around it in their normal daily functions of life. So God has to send someone to get their attention to let them know that there are human beings around that might need a small favor. Perhaps the apology was and act of undeserved kindness. But no, let's just right it off that the women was being extremely rude trying to get the attention of a young woman with the headset, excuse me, I mean headphones. Am I being a little extreme in my evaluation of what I have seen and experience in this age of self absorption through media gadgets and communication, as did this woman?

I agree! But then he does call himself the pharasee, rightly so!

Even if I did, what is that to you? If you are lead of God then go take up your cross and follow the Lord.

JaumeJ, Do you have an evil report about me that you would like to share today with the CC audience? They must be looking forward to your profound wisdom in these matters. You should count it a privilege and all joy when God's plan puts you in a fiery trial to test, not just your faith but what is in your heart that you live by. Is it consumed with the flesh through negative reactions to the plan of God ending you up with a wounded spirit and accusing others or is it rejoicing in the Spirit because God would give you grace and count you worthy of such a fiery trial? Do you care for nothing and understand that the trial of your faith is much more precious than gold even if it crucifies your flesh? Do you have that kind of character established in your heart through grace or are you living in a false humility that strives to serve Yeshua according to the law of commandments and puts the law ahead of the Spirit that gives life?

You make it obvious you know nothing of me, of the way given to me these decades, nor what is present and ahead in the Way given me.
As for being my controlling pharisee, I think not, however it is obviated by your spiel that your desire is to control everyone else, right down to that whacked out image of Anthony Quinn you have selected as being your avatar. You are aware of course the image is not a pharisee.
May Yahweh, God, relieve you of this imaginary campaign you wage. You do realize that our heavenly Father does not rely on His children to defend Him, so what do you pretend to be accomplishing in this forum for the family in Yeshua with your persistent rejection of learning from others?
You may not believe this, but I have always prayed for your soul, but I cannot approve of your approach to other members of the Body of Yeshua in your sad attempts at frightening them into submitting to your will. It is Yahweh's will and His wisdom the family seeks, and as long as anyone is so frantically attacking sound learning it will be rejected.

I am the first to be aware that many suspect me because I use the old names for the Father and the Son, but you know what? It is good they do this because this means they are free and they are not being badgered by me or anyone else to do exactly as I do, they trust Yahweh in Yeshua.

Blessed be each and every member of the Body of Yeshua forever, in Yeshua's name, amen...
May no one here ever trust the arm of flesh nor themselves, but only Yahweh, God amen.

Alright lets get this over with

What is your issue with me
You seem to have this perverted joy of sowing discord
Who is the accuser of the bretheren
You know who he is, and you appear to be working on his side
Your self righteous, holier than thou attitude is not bringing peace and love to the family of Christ
So why don't you lay all your cards on the table
And tell us what in the world your problem is

And on a side note, your obvious problem with me, is an issue for elizabeth, cause she's my sister in Christ, that's what families do, they back eachother up, they don't come against eachother, especially if your a child of God

Your OP was an awesome example of testimony, with a genuine repent spirit. Saying, "I got slapped" for all to hear, and then God recieving the glory at the end of it all.....WONDERFUL!

But where this is going now?............Seriously, should I get popcorn and pull up a chair? :confused:

The same way that some did to watch the 'Ali / Frazier Fight', you know the 'Thriller from Manila'. But you might be in a different time 'Zone', being from Canada and having to deal with all those other kinds of 'Judaizers'.

Don't you think it to be amazing how that some of those headsets drive that music right into those brain cells and start shattering them with all those vibrations and reverberations going back and forth from one cell to another. How exhilarating, must make one feel like they are in or maybe on 'ecstasy'.

Now just how low can you be. You allude to someone who in Jesus, Yeshua, has conquered past addiction that they may be on ecstasy.

This is a family member who is a great praise to Yahweh Almighty, one whom He has lifted out of a difficult and dark passage of her life bringing her to His Holy Light. Do you feel proud for making this comparison? You should be very ashamed. May God forgive you.
