WHY SHOULD WE CARE? POST #6 of a series

Proverbs 14:12 (KJV) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,

but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 

CHRISTLIKENESS

   James 2:15(KJV) If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 

   James 2:16(KJV) And one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 

   John 6:51(KJV) I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 

   Proverbs 22:9(KJV) He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

   Galatians 6:1(KJV) Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 

   Galatians 6:2(KJV) Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

   Galatians 6:10(KJV) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 

Romans 13:10(KJV) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law. 

We have become a society of animals, all in the name of love. The truth is the driving force in our lives, is lust. The fulfillment of fleshly appetites. I am not a preacher, but I do believe in the owner’s manual for human life, provided by our Creator.

I also know from more than 65 years of inter-personal relationships in the manufacturing arena that we must get along with many people we do not like. That takes Godly Love, not human lust. It is lust that draws our attention to the attractive, the talented, the flirtatious, and the frivolous. It takes the love of God to accept humanity at the level of their choice.

To have a satisfaction of having done something of value though, it takes more than we can muster on our own initiative, by reason of our own resolve. It takes compassion, that is inherent in a total submission to the teachings of the Master Teacher, the Christ.

We, humans are created beings, created in the spiritual likeness of God, created for a purpose in this physical world, and instructed to care for all of creation (given dominion over every living thing). Above all else, we were charged with the responsibility of caring for one another, all of our human peers.

They are not just people, and they are not intended to live separated or isolated, or avoided. We were designed to be social, and to care for one another. Like it or not, "Everyone is entitled to their personal opinion, but there is no such thing as personal fact".

If we want to be healthy, and live good lives, attaining a ripe old age, and enjoying the essentials while being with family and friends, we must read the book.  Then listen to those that have read the book and can testify to its validity with regard to daily life; And, Love (Serve) thy neighbor as thyself.

RULE OF LAW? WHO IS KIDDING WHO?

 RULES ARE APPARENTLY MEANT TO BE OBSERVED, … Witness the US OPEN on Sunday, 9/6/2020 LAWS ARE APPARENTLY MERE SUGGESTIONS, WITH NO RELEVANCE FOR LAWMAKERS … Witness the event in a beauty salon in San Francisco late last week. And please observe the behavior of the world's #1 tennis player. Although vocally resisting or debating the decision for a few minutes as would be expected of anyone. Then willfully and without public protest, he picked up his gear and left not only the court but the compound and grounds. Please contrast that with the behavior of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The Third Highest Office in US Government. If anything were to happen to the President and Vice-President that incapacitated them and deemed them incapable of directing the affairs of government, the Speaker of the House of Representatives would be elevated to the Presidency, with no assent from the populace. Why because that is the procedure set forth in the Constitution of th...

A VISION GOD GAVE ME WHEN I DIED IN 1993 - HEAVENLY REJECT #2

-
  BACKGROUND Have you ever given serious thought to the “Eternal Plight” of those who choose to live in “spiritual darkness”?   In an unusual encounter, in Asheville, NC, in September of 1993, God gave me insight into the immensity of this population, and their influence on all of society.   Knowing that the earth’s population now exceeds 5 billion, it is difficult to comprehend the Biblical prophecy that merely a remnant will ultimately be saved.   HOW CAN THIS BE?   With all of the emphasis on worldwide, evangelism, international radio/TV ministries, dedicated Bible Radio/TV stations in most major viewing markets …   HOW CAN THIS BE? …. A REMNANT?   ISA 1:9 Speaks of what we call a “doctrine of the Remnant” … but this refers to Judah, and the other tribes of Israel … not to gentiles or the church.   This remnant is an assurance, to preserve God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David.   Many times...

  Proverbs 14:12 (KJV) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.   DOMINION      Col 3:16   (KJV) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.       Mat 18:15 (KJV) Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.     Mat 18:16 (KJV) But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.     Mat 18:17 (KJV) And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglects to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a he...
