An Encouraging Thought About Death:brain and nerve damage
Dawidos:
Well spoken, Craig :)
Shawn Fainn:
Dawidos, I understand what you're saying perfectly. We should always try to be gentle in spirit in how we deliver things.
However, on the flip side, we must also be honest and firm with upholding truth.
Sometimes, I think part of our tribulation IS the hate we receive from our brothers/sisters when we tell the truth.. Because the truth often hurts.
Each of us have to find the balance in our approach, and unfortunately that mostly comes from trial and error (the most painful way as well).
Dawidos:
Indeed, there are :) :) I thinkt Shawn has spoken great wisdom, especially in this statement

--- End quote ---
We walk on shaky ground thinking that a little lie is alright in our Spiritual journey.No matter how small the lie may be,none the less, a sin is a sin and all sinners will have their place in the lake of fire.
Rev 21:8 and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Carnal thinking is unacceptable in Spirit and Truth.
I agree with Craig, it is best at times to keep quiet and to let Gods work be done as needed, to the one in need.
Here is a great Word picture about Christ's feelings on the dead...
Mat 8:21 And another of His disciples said to him, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.
Mat 8:22 Jesus answered, "Come with me, and let the dead bury their dead."
As hard as it may seem at times,dying to ones self is something that must take place if The Kingdom is the intended target.
Mat 5:10 Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
Peace...Mark
Dawidos:
Agree, Mark. I meant remaining silent to not hurt somebody during the worst period of his/her life, not telling them more lies.
