I do not agree, Iz. 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. How much better are you and Judy doing?TerryShieldsFamily wrote:

Because others may have a critical and jaundiced eye does not necessarily mean there is sin in the object

or focus of such criticism - at times it means the person looking needs to work on their own beam.

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.

  I do not agree, Iz. 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

I see. Is this then the sin of the parents, or the world, or the

How would this condition add to or subtract from one's ability to do
what Jesus suggests in the sermon on the mount? I am too lazy to look
it up but it seems to me that He came to town meek and lowly, riding on
a colt. Possibly as an example to us?
To be quite honest, I do not see low esteem as a problem on TT. Do you?

True humility Lance is saying what God says about a

pride. When a preacher gets out there with a megaphone

true humility. Or of one speaks them to a friend in
private - this is also laying down their own

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".

When I cite scripture - you either receive it by faith

depending on what you have going on in your own

True humility Lance is saying what 
God says about a situation or subject; personal opinion,

while grovelling while saying it is 
inverted pride. When a preacher gets out there with a

and accurately speaks the oracles 
of God .. that is true humility. Or of one speaks them 
to a friend in
private - this is also laying down 
their own life. Because God's Word is that around

I do not agree, Iz. 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 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

  No you wouldn't be because

  religious/racial bigotry
  which is a misnomer. It is

I think it fits very well, Dean. I hate the deeds
of the Mormons, but I do not hate them. I pray, though not often
enough, for Dave to see the truth. I would love to be certain that he
was my brother. Right now I am fairly certain he will spend eternity
in Hell, and I don't even want that for Ted Kennedy, much less anyone I
know. 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. Right now, the fervor to love ratio justs
seems a little out of whack. Maybe we can both try harder.

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.
