One of the biggest things i find in many among those who claim to be a Christian is that all they really want to do is talk at people..they dont care about conversing dont care about building bonds between brothers and sisters just listen to me like what is up with that?

Im really curious about this superior behavior that many have.. that is not of the Lord at all..to snub people to think your too good to talk with all ya gotta do is what? Copy and paste not even words or perhaps they are words of your own..

Im j.s.

Anywho does anyone else notice this behavior growing among the groups

#DONTKILLTHEMESSENGERS :joy:
Hope alls well

Yep it is true what you are saying, I try to see things from every angle, but yes many are hard to talk to, even many are hard to even have fellowship with.

Sometimes it is easier to talk to unbelievers, but I do thank God for the ones you can have fellowship with, that is a true blessing of the Lord.

And yes they are out there, ones that just simply love the Lord, and care about a person's soul.

So in these days we have to be discerning, but also we have to guard our hearts, we ourselves have to be open to truth.

Someone sharing a whole lot of truth itself is good, because as Christians we need to be speaking the truth, and should be leaning the truth more and more.

So we need to guard our attitudes as well, you can be humble and share a whole lot of truth, and you can be full of pride and share a whole lot of truth, and you can be one who shares just a bit of truth in what one knows, and have a humble attitude in that, or in that, you also can be prideful, so it is not a competition of who knows more or less truth, but if someone knows a whole lot of truth, then so be it, there is nothing wrong with that.

So mainly we have to guard our own hearts, and be open to the truth ourselves, nothing to prove, just more of Jesus.

The spirit of competition is big in church circles, it is sad, but it is truth.
 
True. I'm exaggerating but what's the point of screaming at people "you suck, you are a filthy sinner and are heading straight to hell!"? While technically a true statement, that approach will only be ignored by those who need to hear it.

Jesus was criticized by the high priests at the time for mingling with the worst sinners. If people feel Jesus' love flowing from us, they will be more inclined to hear the truth and be saved. The goal is for nobody to perish. The goal isn't to rub our hands together in satisfaction thinking that we brutally told them the truth and they ignored us so it's on them.

When addressing believers who have the holy spirit but have fallen away and have become lukewarm, they are more capable of taking the shock treatment and rekindling the fire within. Acting with Jesus' love is always appropriate however.

Abba pulled me away from the Synagogues (churches) yrs ago every now n then He tells me to go see what one is doing.. the last one shook me to the core so I believe Hes just healing my sorrow from what i had seen n then He will send me to go see another.. my jaw usually just drops and i cant stay for more then a half hr n out i quickly and quietly walk..
I believe He is preparing me to give an account of what is going on to many..
Ya know i just dont get at times why He keeps showing me this stuff and why i need to speak out..its not like anyone really cares but it is what it is .
I am happy tho i haven't been swallowed up by some fish for running when i do run..
Smh
Imma mess

Hope alls well

Well yes God does reveal things, and I cannot deny, many churches are running in the wrong direction, rather than real unity in Christ himself, it is a false unity which brings you actually further and further away from Christ, the unity is a get along gang unity, a false love untiy, and a going though the motions unity, and a flattery unity.

We need to always draw closer to him.

Seems the closer i get to the Lord the Less i want to be around people that there is substance too..but i do long for the Lord to send someone who just Loves talking about Him ya know? Im just tired of people trying to speak at me about what the Lord says i mean im not an idiot i can read i speak to Abba every day.. i mean like why can't some one just talk about the Lord not talk at not trying to be a teacher just iron sharpening iron..

the Pharisees had a reputation for their interpretation seems many got that spirit


Behold, the day!
Behold, it has come!
Doom has gone out;
The rod has blossomed,
Pride has budded.
Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
None of them shall remain,
None of their multitude,
None of them;
Nor shall there be wailing for them.
The time has come,
The day draws near.

I think the most important thing via this issue is discernment, some may say things out of pride, but then others which we may think prideful, are really saying things out of care and love, out of a humble heart, and say we do know this or that, does it really matter, should we really get offended at that ? No, not really, it is not about whether you know or do not know this or that, it is about knowing him, and knowing how to apply his word, and to delight in his word, whether someone is sharing with you something you know or not, delighting in his word is were we need to be.

Psa 37:3-5
(3) Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
(4) Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
(5) Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Ya i get all that but the Truth remains the same..
Very sad to see so many walking in the darkness following mans ways instead of the Lord n boggles me why i am told to speak against what they are doing when they just dont care..
Idk i mean will just keep doing what the Lord says to do ya know?

Hope alls well
