Especially About The Nature Of My Behavior And Beliefs? …
Yes, It Is Time For A Philosophical Appraisal Of Myself …
Where am I at in such appraisal? At the end. The final conclusion. The beginning of a newness not previously experienced or encountered; novel or unfamiliar but quite peaceful, restive, promising even productive for the rest of my life as I deal with the arrogance of the human nature ingrained within my being.
Indeed! My Human Nature? Not A Pretty Picture More Like A Cartoon …
Finally! I posted on Sunday, May 21, 2023, around 3:42 pm. I am now ready for a break to reflect in the Presence of my Master about my reply to Pat when I woke up on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 10:15 pm.
- I was so angry! I considered Pat’s ignorance, her arrogance only to reflect the rest of arrogant self-righteous fools that crucified Yahushua so many years ago.
- I thought to understand Yahushua’s utter frustration.
- I remembered His words to forgive them for they did not know what they were doing.
- I felt so proud of my knowledge.
- What?
- I do not need to retaliate; the Master does not need my defense?
- I see.
- I am just as guilty as Pat is.
Quote:
Matthew 26:51-53
(51) And behold, one of those who were with Yahushua reached out his hand and drew his sword and, striking the body servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.
(52) Then Yahushua said to him, Put your sword back into its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. [Gen_9:6]
(53) Do you suppose that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions [more than 80,000] of angels?
ANGER:
Matthew 5:21-26
(21) You have heard that it was said to the men of old, You shall not kill, and whoever kills shall be liable to and unable to escape the punishment imposed by the court. [Exo_20:13; Deu_5:17; Deu_16:18]
(22) But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice (enmity of heart) against him shall be liable to and unable to escape the punishment imposed by the court; and whoever speaks contemptuously and insultingly to his brother shall be liable to and unable to escape the punishment imposed by the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, You cursed fool! [You empty-headed idiot!] shall be liable to and unable to escape the hell (Gehenna) of fire.
(23) So if when you are offering your gift at the altar you there remember that your brother has any [grievance] against you,
(24) Leave your gift at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come back and present your gift.
(25) Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way traveling with him, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison.
(26) Truly I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last fraction of a penny. End of quote.
Well? I Weep. My Heart Constricts. What To Do? …
I cannot continue relishing my gifts while I let anger get a hold of me. Furthermore, my Master compels me to warn the wicked as well as the righteous of their sins under penalty for their blood to be required at my hand even when the Master warns me that they shall not listen.
Quote:
Ezekiel 3:20-27
(20) Again, if a righteous man turns from his righteousness (right doing and right standing with God) and some gift or providence which I lay before him he perverts into an occasion to sin and he commits iniquity, he shall die; because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood will I require at your hand.
(21) Nevertheless, if you warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he is warned; also you have delivered yourself from guilt.
(22) And the hand of the Lord was there upon me, and He said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain and I will talk with you there.
(23) Then I arose and went forth into the plain, and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face.
(24) Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet; He spoke and said to me, Go, shut yourself up in your house.
(25) But you, O son of man, behold, ropes will be put upon you and you will be bound with them, and you cannot go out among people.
(26) And I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth so that you cannot talk and be a reprover of the people, for they are a rebellious house.
(27) But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to the people, Thus says the Lord God; he who hears, let him hear, and he who refuses to hear, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
Matthew 5:23-25.
(23) So if when you are offering your gift at the altar you there remember that your brother has any [grievance] against you,
(24) Leave your gift at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come back and present your gift.
(25) Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way traveling with him, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. End of quote.
- Heading for bed again on Monday, May 22, 2023, at 12:10 am.
- Much to reflect on Yahushua’s Presence within my heart.
- Restful sleep for better than four hours.
- It’s now Monday, May 22, 2023, at 6:36 am.
- What am I to do?
- How can I come to terms with the carnal self-ingrained in both Pat and me?
Publish The Matter The Only Way To Settle It …
Ha! I must come to terms with that accuser carnal self. Phew! Graciously saved by Yahushua’s faithfulness to His Word. What a blessing for us all. Hopefully this post shall attract someone to read the previous posts to soberly, unbiasedly reconsider the matter.
Hope. There is always HOPE.
