While I do not understand why the link didn’t appear, you took a big leap in judging my abilities. I can only surmise that you are some type of book writer. Only authors find a deep devotion to have to defend their position. Then it makes me wonder your true intent in forums such as this one. To pose questions to gather feedback? If you write fiction, I suppose irrational behavior does work best for you.
This would also explain the time you take to research a mistake to pat yourself in the back even though it was through a mistaken premise. That just shows how petty and pitiful your motive is.
One thing for sure, you keep true to your avatar. Perhaps one day he will teach you how to rule the world, but in the meantime, I’ll enjoy the song. I have debated intellectually or harshly with Cardinals, Bishops, Fathers, Priest. I give everyone the opportunity to impress me. I don’t get that sense from you just as the lack of knowledge you knew about Knorr behind the iron curtain, a topic you swore an allegiance to and it fell flat.
Perhaps instead of just focusing in the bible, treat life as a whole, a complexity that merits deep study to fully understand. Then you might get the correct approach that people have to go through to make any logical sense of these parolee’s times.
Example:
Have you ever considered?
1. There is always a price to pay
“Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.”
George Bernard Shaw
2. Build your self-esteem.
“Disciplining yourself
to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the high
road to pride, self-esteem and personal satisfaction.”
Brian Tracy
“The willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life is
the source from which self-respect springs.”
Joan Didion
3. Give yourself the permission to live the life you want.
“When
we have begun to take charge of our lives, to own ourselves, there is no longer
any need to ask permission of
someone.”
George O’Neil
4. Understand the limits of your responsibility.
“Make the best use of what is in
your power, and take the rest as it happens.”
Epictetus
5. Don’t forget to take responsibility in everyday life too.
“I
long to accomplishh a great and noble
task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great
and noble.”
Helen Keller
“You cannot escape the responsibility
of tomorrow by evading it today.”
Abraham Lincoln
Those are choices that confront us in a powerful way every day. So when you know these basic important reasons. It becomes a lot easier to stick with taking responsibility and not rationalize to yourself that you didn’t really have to responsibility in various situations. For instance spiritual food.
Without the extra energy and the presence it becomes more difficult to take action and to not create extra resistance and negativity within you.
Then you are confronted by another spectrum of life. Regression. Regression psychotherapies are based on the notion that if you discover the cause of your troubles you will be cured. The negative causes such as parents, abuse, and satanic rituals, past lives, possession (brainwashing) etc. That theory is then to regress people back to these incidents of having to relive them.
So without too much glitter, what then does scripture teach?
Hebrew 5:11-13
Warning against drifting away.
11Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.
Hebrews 6:1
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
Warning against Regression
6 Therefore, leaving the elementary message about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God,
Matthew Henry's
Concise Commentary
5:11-14 Dull hearers make the preaching of the gospel difficult, and even those
who have some faith may be dull hearers, and slow to believe. Much is looked
for from those to whom much is given. To be unskillful full, denotes want of
experience in the things of the gospel. Christian experience is a spiritual
sense, taste, or relish of the goodness, sweetness, and excellence of the
truths of the gospel. And no tongue can express the satisfaction which the soul
receives, from a sense of Divine goodness, grace, and love to it in Christ.
“Watch yourself how you act and
what you teach. Stay true to what is right. If you do, you and those who hear
you will be saved from the punishment of sin.”
-1 Timothy 4:16
And for you atheist:
“Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and
learn again to exercise his will – his personal responsibility.”
Albert Einstein
“It is a painful thing
to look at your own trouble and know that you yourself and no one else has made
it.”
Sophocles
“A sign of wisdom and
maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions
cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life, and
your ultimate success depends on the choices you make.”
Denis Waitley
Well this is one person’s opinion. I don’t play demigod like some book author’s using you as pawns to get a sense of your thoughts since they can’t seem to generate their own.
You people have the last word. Research it recompile someone else’s thoughts and words to make them your own for your next book, and come back with an interesting anecdote. Remember the only person that needs to accept your thoughts are you. Everyone else, as I commonly state, RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
