Not at all. So, are you saying that, in truth, your actions remain unaffected by the outcomes—whether good or evil—when you are following the commands of Jesus besides feeling guilty? If so, I still have issue with you, but not in following the commands of Jesus, but in making the situational point you did to Sister in Christ in the example you used. You come across as quite inconsistent, if one were to compare both what you are doing now, and the historical issue of the past. For if you have angst against the resulting actions of the past, then you should also have it so for your resulting actions of the present. That I believe, needs to be in greater evidence in what you write, as a follower of the commands of Jesus. Otherwise, it has one seeing you as not even considering the negative resulting actions and believing that only the positive results are what occurs from your actions. By your own words, history shows they were not true then, nor are they true now, just as our Sister has stated.
By the by, this just circles around what I have already pointed out to you. Considering the outcomes when one follows the saying, "what’s good for the goose is good for the gander." This is apparently not true, and either you must ignore in its entirety as being irrelevant or a consideration before acting. If the former, then you're using of said historical examples is really disingenuous on your part, because it's irrelevant to why you do what you do except in the initial consideration of how it has benefitted you in your own experiences/desires that moved you to act in the first place.
If you see what I am saying, then you should also, be able to see why Sister
@Twistie would consider your actions evil.
Why the guilt then? If your actions would remain the same, there should be none, unless you're questioning the very action in the first place as being the correct thing to do. Didn't I tell you that before? Let the guilt go, and when judgment day arises, stand for what you believed was right to do according to the understanding you had at the time.
This is why I added the last line above, that I did. Do not expect anyone else to see your actions as being anything but evil, when the outcome of your resulting actions brings evil upon others.
Answered in the first part above.
Oh, brother I have tried to see what you have done, in your attempt in following the commands of Jesus. I am not you brother, that is able to ignore or set aside if you will, the negative results of my own actions, and think it's not my reasoning that might be at fault and continue to do it regardless over and over again. And so, my words to you before, that you are standing for what you believe is right for everyone else, but don't expect them or anyone else to see it if evil results from them.
With the Love of Christ Jesus Brother Steve.
