… maturing us is a continually relationship to JESUS.. We all need to get clean..cause we get dirty…will stink, doing evil relationship (s) around another (s)…so be clean and at peace but at the same time stand to protect. Protect by using tools…Bible…not throwing the Bible out as an evil. ..evil or good is an action from a person as each relationship, choice meets you, head on.. And I fail at the right choice at times…but I get up and have at it again…working to do better..by repenting…
Probing, inquiring the heart/mind to see who is hearing and doing., getting at the “stumbling blocks, stone” 2Pe2:8. A “stumbling block” -- bible studying for study‘s sake-- no more action than as research for research's sake and sharing only research (well perhaps something was done with another to the betterment) . Sharing only research, always seeking but never applying to one‘s own daily life ?is that a truth "BTDT"?I agreed! Hypocrite (s) is one term used to label a person of not applying loving within reason to another. . Again..sure aka “BTDT“, that is a “false religion of heart” in this world age (and the one that was before this one) using or misusing the full level , total level of what’s going on, in actuality to a “changing” a life, family. That’s going on… and it is sadly…madly… fact…but within a loving fact,LOVING WAY in this spiritual wartime of freedom of choices...
CONTINUING a relationship on the contrary wrong way..some pretender(s) use also “the stumbling block” teaching…as to construct a NEW or another false “stumbling block II” although it is the same stumbling block “I“. . The add-on false “stumbling block II” is wrapped into TRUTH to make a lie, false teaching, false spirit‘s witness, evil propaganda …their false premise is that using, pointing to The Bible, a Scripture’s words ..is being a “worshipper of a piece of paper (s) bible” as their god. . ..it may…or it may not…be True of a person's doing… .. Lots of straight judgment, easy judgment…as we can see, investigate but…harder to see, investigate matters of a heart/mind as to a noble action(s) guess that is why..there is a “room“… GOD‘S COURTROOM…for those things that matter…
And NO ..THE BIBLE..is not GOD…just as my letter I say, dictate to someone to write down for my children is not me..the letter is not me….My children could love what is in my letter as good council or not good council..and if they never did the actions..then they would not have followed my council..they would just have been a reader.. And I tell my children to check with THE BIBLE & GOD in prayer, talking to HIM for their actions…with another, others..and perhaps share scripture but it is always up to the person to do their own faith work with HIM.
Then again if the worthiness of me in telling another to go to THE BIBLE--HIS TOOL is wrong if I’m not perfect, faultless. .then we are all wrong…but if me telling, sharing is with a noble, loving heart/mind…then make it so…a noble doer…DOIT. … I’m real sure GOD is able to judge my personal actions mind/heart…thankfully said..that HE IS JUDGE. ..NOT our fellow mankind..our fellow mankind may testify but not JUDGE…depends on our repentance actions and Christ‘s actions HIM BEENING WORTHY for us…and I’m a believer in HIS JOB, LOVE…done for me..for eternal LIFE…
James 1:21-27
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
(KJV)
Rom2:
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? (KJV)
Gal 6:3-5
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
