I was thinking about how many hurt and wounded people are alive and struggling. From physical to mental ailments we all have some issue to overcome. Some have many problems and yet seem to muster the courage to face another day. while some still fall into a trap and become so downhearted that they take life others and their own sometimes.
I have completely decided that "knowing" anything to the point that I can get points for being right is useless.
But this type of thinking whether people see it or not is fairly comin where I live. I will generalize and say it is comon amongst humans.
So I thought to myself why does it matter? and I came up with.
I am right and your dead. Because essentially that is what many people are in fact saying to one another on daily basis over things they believe to be true. From a hevean/hell basis
Why do people try to convince others of anything at all? it is either from a selfish motive or from a heart felt desire to help.
I think that is part of the problem with cults and fanatics abroad.
The SELFISH minded can control the sincere and put a good face on evil things so to speak. Like religions that basically teach hatred for others. I realize it is not just religions that teach this. And the ones that do sugar coat it so it tastes just fine and people cannot realy tell.
I see it on some boards I have visited. the way people hurl the "god will" this you and God will that you. I find it funny that GOD told us to Love our neighboors and pray for our enemy's and he has yet once to appear and say anything like these men and women say.
So my point in writing this.
We'll what if their is a logical / practical way of talking to people to maybe help GOD open some more eye's that will show them that they are holding onto some dangerous thoughts and or feelings.
For instance I use JW's as an example now because I am familiar mostly with the mental beliefs.
While many at the bottom have such great motives and sincerity how would we approach and punch thru the good works being the command to preach? "in the manner that they do of course"
Well I would start with the some were evengelizers and others had different callings. but all who are part of the body play an important part. just like in the physical world we need planners to street sweepers. But we don't need the ego's so as to make some feel lesser in their Job that is of Satan.
So with say a muslim who we may not understand their background how could we do the same thing?
I believe GOD will give us the words but what if we can come up with some ideas on how we as individuals can deliver them in a good way.
Because we are emotional if we don't think ahead we can trip over our emotions. I kinda feel that it what the helmet/sheild/sword analogy are about. wroking on ourselves ahead of time to be of service at the right time.
Would love to hear great ideas on proper conversation and communication from many who have been on this trip already
