"THE KISS OF DEATH"

<< < (4/4)

YellowStone:
Susan, please understand I never said or implied that "we come to an agreement on one another's opijion"

I introduced that section by stating:

Clearly we are to treat our spiritual brothers and sisters differently than our brothers in sisters of the world.

I then said this:

So let us before we let our carnal pride get hurt, reach out to the other and seek a greater understanding of their view-point, in away that does not force ones point of view.

By understanding where they are coming from will give us greater understand of their Godly need. All of God's children are not the same and we need some times to give milk to those in need and meat to others

Being in agreement with one another is ever so much more than simply believing "God is love!" Rather, being like-minded is being courteous and acting with compassion towards one another, promoting unified understanding. This will not only promote spiritual love amongst us, but also be pleasing to God.   Granted I did not say "promoting unified understanding in the TRUTH" but remember I was talking to my spiritual brothers ans sisters as indicated and assumed it as a given. :(

How many of this world believe that God is love, yet have no love for their neighbour?

I therefore was not meaning that we should be in agreement with our worldly brothers; rather that we should seek peace and agreement with one another (our spiritual brothers and sisters)

Rom 15:6 That ye may with one mind [and] one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.[/color

2Cr 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Phl 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Phl 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.

1Pe 3:8 Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:

I apologize to all concerned that the love and compassion of my intent did not come through in my post. However, I will state that I feel I was hastely judged by what "was thought" I said than was actually said.

We are all human and we still make mistakes.

Thanks for your comment,

Love,
Darren.

Darren,

  Ahhhhh now I understand where you were coming from.  Now that I have the understanding I feel that I can respond to your posts now.  Yes, I would agree with what you were saying, I just could not for the life of me understand where you were coming, I thought that was what you meant, and I meant to PM you about it but I am glad that you posted your follow up.

  I am going to go and read the entire post with your explanation in hand.  I think it will flow congruently.  Well I have to go for now.

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire

All has been heard; the end of the matter is : Fear God, revere and worship Him, knowing that He is and keep his commandments, for this is the whole of man, the full, original purpose of his creation, the object of God’s providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun and the whole duty for ever man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil. Ecc 12 : 13,14

And if you call upon Him as your Father Who judges each one impartially according to what he does, then you should conduct yourselves with true reverence throughout the time of your temporary residence on the earth, whether long or short.   1 Peter 1 : 17


If anyone wants to pray for me please pray that I will never ever have to hear these words spoken to me that were once spoken to Peter by Jesus

Mark 8 :  33 But turning  His back to Peter and seeing His disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind Me Satan! For you do not have a mind intent on promoting what God wills, but what pleases men, you are not on God's side, but that of men.


Peace to you

Darren,
I understood you to speak of the desired unity between the BRETHREN (and not the world.. as in... YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR LOVE.. type UNITY.)  NOTE: And yet, I pesonally DO NOT claim those 'of the world' to be my brothers and sisters (as you call them your brothers and sisters) (I call only those that DO the will of HIM as my spiritual family and my brothers and sisters.)

Then I understood you to say that we need to get over our selfish pride by seeking the babe in Christs' OPINIONS/view points, so as to not cause him to stumble due to forcing my OPINION on the babe in Christ.  

You said that "it is more important in our relationship (as true believers) to be in agreement (UNITY) than it is to be stating that 'God is Love"; and that the UNITY that we mature saints share with the less mature saints brings a UNIFIED UNDERSTANDING...

I am confused....SO IF YOU DID NOT MEAN THAT THERE WOULD BE A "UNIFIED" UNDERSTANDING IN REGARDS TO "TRUTH" BETWEEN BELEIVERS, THEN WHAT WOULD THEY BE "UNIFIED" IN???

It's late, I will talk to you tomorrow Lord willing,  and then maybe we can clear this up. 8)

PS- Arcturus, on a lighter note, but along the same lines you will have to read "The Wedding of Anne and David" thread...b/c itwas meant to be funny,but now that I think about it, it talks about their wedding and how all of us spoke LAMB TALK  just to help them to get their nerves calmed on ( their WEDDING DAY ...I seriously wonder if there is a SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE HERE that those in Anne and My family have not taken into consideration yet?  (their physical wedding representing who we truly are in the SPIRIT...we arae the LAMBS at A wedding??  WHERE IS A SECOND WITNESS AT HERE?  AT LEAST GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT, EH?)

Hello there Sue

I see the fruit of His Spirit in your participation in the wedding between Anne and David. Joy, Peace, Kindness, Goodness, Love….all come to mind. I see Anne as a little lamb too!

I add as a caution and encouragement to remain always on guard for your heart and be testing every spirit.

John 14 : 26 But the Comforter, Counsellor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in MY Name, in MY place, to REPRESENT ME and act on MY behalf, HE will teach you ALL THINGS.  And He will cause you to recall, will remind you of, bring to your remembrance, everything  I HAVE TOLD YOU.

John 16 : 8 And when He comes, He will convict and convince the world and bring demonstration to it about sin and about righteousness, uprightness of heart and right standing with God and about judgment; 9 About sin, because they do not believe in Me, trust in, rely on, and adhere to ME; 10 About righteousness, uprightness of heart and right standing with God, because I go to My Father and you will see Me no longer 11 About judgment, because the ruler, evil genius, prince of this world, Satan is judged and  condemned and sentence already is passed upon him.
I believe that in as much as we find a witness to ourselves in the scriptures that this would be the correct application:

1 Cor 10 : 11,12 Now these things befell them by way of a figure as an example and warning to us; (not as any witness to us but…)they were written to admonish and fit us for right action by good instruction, we in whose days the ages have reached their climax. 12 Therefore let anyone who thinks he stands who feels sure that he has a steadfast mind and is standing firm, take heed lest he fall into sin.


Scripture is Gods word not our word. God does not contradict Himself. Gods word when discerned and applied in reverence becomes  2 Tim 3 : 16… profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience and for training in righteousness in holy living in conformity to God’s will in thought , purpose, and action…


The only thing I can come up with in reference to your experience as being lambs at the wedding is this. I do not see myself as a lamb. Only Jesus is the lamb. I definitely see you as a sheep! A good sheep not a black sheep!  I do not know what I am yet… ??? All I know is that some do not want to even look at me! :-\

Peace to you

Arcturus :)
