where do opinions and views come from and when should you keep them to yourself

 first i wnat to say this is only my understanding. in no way is it directed at any one person.
paul tells us that everything is permissible, but not everything is benificial.1cor.10:23-33 nobody should seek his own good but the good of others. for example a view i have on something is good for me but could cause my brother or sister to fall. so the benifit is only for me. why you may ask. it is simple. God made you to have certain views and beliefs because this is how he keeps you from doing something or drives you to doing something. so therefore it is only benificial for you. this is one way we can know when to or not to do  or say something around others by knowing what is permissible and what is benificial.

where does all of this come from, why ofcourse the heart. it tells us in scripture to always think on things that are good, upright and just. in matt. 12:34-37 Jesus is talking to pharisees and teachers and calls them a brood of vypers for the words they speak. he tells them out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart the mouth speaks. when there is goodness, christ likeness, righteousness and love in the heart this is what your mouth will speak. when there is spite, hatred, vegence, indignation and anger this is how your mouth will speak. it also says in matt 12 that by your words you will be aquitted and by your words you will be condemmed. you will give account for every careless word.

i wrote this because as i browse through some of the articles and replies i see people cutting each other down or expressing your opinion only to push your agenda and sometimes getting angry with someone because they don't understand.
 
let me ask you this,"Did Jesus cut anyone down any where he went in any of his words." i can answer for you, no, he had compassion on them,he was moved or he explained things to them(deciples). remember Jesus talked to the pharisees and teachers about there heart not there person.

please lets have compassion on each other with patience and understanding

                                                     thanks your brother in christ, dave

Hi dave,

This seems to be an ongoing problem we have. 
I think it has something to do with being anonymous.
We should always remember, we are by no means anonymous to God.

Rom 14:12  Consequently, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Rom 14:13  Therefore, let us no longer criticize each other. Instead, make up your mind not to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

Mat 15:11  not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

mercy, peace, and love

This is just my thoughts and feelings about this whole subject which I see is becoming a major issue once agian here at the forum.  I see in the world so much hate, anger, pain, inconsideration for others, people wrapped up in there own lives and not caring one ioda for anyone else, and it just makes me sick to my stomach and pains me greatly.  So, I come here in search of people who love one another and care about one anothers pains and sufferings.  Kind of like a solitude away from the world, a place to escape all the evil.  Therefore, when I see people come here and cause all the things that the WORLD causes (pain, anger, hurt, etc.)  it saddens me greatly and I begin to feel like there is no place I can go to escape all these evil things.  So, what do I do now? is what I think to myself and never do I find an answer.  I can't wait for the day that all this evil is gone.  Sorry, this is just me rambling and getting some thoughts out of my head.  Thank you for barring with me.

Love to you all my sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus

All4love,

I have recently come to the conclusion that this type of thing isn't going to stop. I now believe that the only issue is how we deal with it. I have never known the darkness to abate once it finds success. We must stand firm against it, but we must bear with it for now.

Peace,
Chuck

all4love:
I know Chuck, you are right.  I just wish that those who are causing this would stop coming here and/or would see the truth and find God's love and show that love.  (I'm not real sure I said that right I hope you understand what I am trying to say)

Love to you my brother
