In fact, I would say not very perceptive at all. There are sins of commission and there are sins of omission, and it is not too hard to find one or the other in any post on TT. I stand by my statement that it is hard for us to see ourselves as others see us, and if that statement is true, it is also hard for us to see ourselves as the Lord sees us. I would suggest as an eye opener, that anyone on here who thinks that they are squeaky clean in the eyes of the Lord do the following: Go back over your last twenty posts. Examine them closely. See if there is any meekness, any humility in any of them. Then look again. See if you can see any love for others in your words. Finally, look again, this time to see how well you have managed to edify the Saints that you have been talking with, or down to. If seventy percent is a passing grade, yo u should see these things in at least fourteen of your posts.I am a miserable failure.

Re: [TruthTalk] Beams and Motes
This is quite rich coming from one who consistently maintains that noone can know anything anyway. I guess you are the only one around here with a valid opinion now Lance (according to you that is) and from what I read you don't believe there is any such thing as "objective truth" anyway so what could one be more deceived about this which is probably why Jesus said we are to take care of our own beams and motes which makes us free to love the other guy rather than consistently look for flaws in him. Hopefully Terry will not be taken in by your brand of wisdom because it is from the other tree.

Re: [TruthTalk] Beams and Motes
Possibly any or all of what you mention and yes it does keep one from wholeheartedly laying down their life for others and causesthe heart to be less than pure. I'm sure a lot of the behaviors you observed as a prison guard were the result of these kinds of issues. The enemyover the years (because of violence and lack of love)built strongholds in the hearts of these ppl in their childhoodand in prison the outworking is evident. I saw Jeffrey Dahmer's father on TV recently and he said that he also had the dark kinds of dreams that Dahmer had in his childhood, the only difference beingthat the boy acted on them and followed through where the father did not ; Dahmer's mother had a difficult pregnancy and she tookmassive doses of anti depressant drugs whilepregnant with him which would have added to the mix.In Christ we covenantto work our issuesout in a different way which is through repentance, turning from sin and embracing His righteousness through the cross. His promise is "If you continue in My Word you will know the truth and the truth will make you free". On Wed, 14 Dec 2005 07:14:00 -0600 Terry Clifton [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I see.

In fact, I would say not very perceptive at all. There are sins of commission and there are sins of omission, and it is not too hard to find one or the other in any post on TT. I stand by my statement that it is hard for us to see ourselves as others see us, and if that statement is true, it is also hard for us to see ourselves as the Lord sees us. I would suggest as an eye opener, that anyone on here who thinks that they are squeaky clean in the eyes of the Lord do the following: Go back over your last twenty posts. Examine them closely. See if there is any meekness, any humility in any of them. Then look again. See if you can see any love for others in your words. Finally, look again, this time to see how well you have managed to edify the Saints that you have been talking with, or down to. If seventy percent is a passing grade, you should see these things in at least fourteen of your posts. I am a miserable failure. How much better are you and Judy doing?

I think the confusion comes when we sneer and mock those with whom we disagree . Jesus did not agree with those who would praise Him one day and call for His crucifixtion shortly thereafter. Yet He did not stop loving them. He told us how He would rather take them under His wing and protect them than condemn them to Hell. If you call that lovey dovey religeon, count me as lovey dovey.By the way, I have seen some love for others in your posts. I think I will probably see more of it as you grow in Christ.

According to your scale of measure Terry - and assuming you know everything there is to know about the one you are judging. However, only God actually sees and knows the heart and you are judging by how it appears outwardly ... Jesus himself would not have appeared too humble on the day He weildedthose cords in the temple either according to theoutward look of humility and neither would Paul have appeared too humble in some of the places where he barged in like a street preacher and began speaking against what the ppl believed in (because they had been raised in it). I think all of us are aware of our own human shortcomings but facts are - it is God who is working in us to will and to do of His good pleasure and I am not about to call what He has done in my life a "miserable failure" You should have seen/known me before. Tell me - what does "boldness to speak the truth" look like?and remember thatlove covers a multitude of sin ... If you think we are missing it don't stone us, pray for us.

Re: [TruthTalk] Beams and Motes
Self rejection happenswhen children are either rejected by parents or have overly critical parents. When one israised in an unloving atmosphere they tend to accept the lie that this is because they are unlovable making it difficult to understand or receive the love of God. The world adds to the problem with unrealistic standards especially in the area of perfection and body image - thinness for women and Gk perfection for men and too many times this becomes a graven image or idol and people reject themselves when they don't measure up rather than giving thanks for being fearfully and wonderfully made.
