Overcoming Lust and a Circumcission of the Heart

[Frankj]

You are clearly in danger. A big part of spiritual warfare has been a war of words, a war of thoughts. (2 Corinthians 10:5)

I don't care how old you are, or how special you think you are. You should choose your next words carefully or say nothing at all.

Other than casting judgment, that makes absolutely no sense to me.

 

[Manonfire63]

Other than casting judgment, that makes absolutely no sense to me.

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5)

Be careful with your words. The goal is the Kingdom of God. In the Kingdom of God, your thoughts, they are aligned. You hear from God as well.

You have stated some bad things.

 

[Frankj]

I have said nothing that cannot be reconciled with Biblical standards.

You might want to look at the standards you are using to judge others, casting judgment on others is bringing judgment on yourself (at least if you consider the words of Jesus).

Do not judge me before first judging yourself.

Some people have a Fruit. A Fruit is what someone produces. A Communist, or other ideologue, he may have been doing and saying particular things. He had a fruit.

You have had a fruit.

In Christianity, there is a standard. Christianity is pass and fail. Someone is in the darkness or the light of the Lord. Some of your comments were not meeting the standard given the topic in the OP. Jesus chastises and rebukes those he loves. (Hebrews 12:6)(Revelations 3:19)

Judgement may be like judging someone unto to death. Judgement may be like a Judge in a courtroom. Judge not lest ye be judged? Someone was about to be stoned to death. Do you feel I am stoning you?

The bottom line is that some of your remarks smacked of a non-Christian ideology of feminism and were inappropriate.

Question: How much Opera is good or bad?

Music is an art. Art may be like a tool. A tool is neither good nor bad. Someone could find a limestone rock. Said rock could be used as a hammer. It could be used as an instrument of war. It could be used as an executioners instrument. A rock has many uses. Who is using it and towards what?

God is a creator. Satan was a liar and a thief. It may be that God gift certain gifts to his followers. Rock and Roll music stems from Black Gospel and Blues music. It may be that people who were outside of God, followers of Satan, stole certain things that were awesome from believers, and then they had a wild party till all the juice was gone. That may have been Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll in the 1970's.

When looking at Opera, it is similar. Bizet came from a particular philosophical group of people. Given someone cares to study the topic, they may be able to find somethings where Bizet was upsetting more traditional classical composers. Around the 1850's or so, all the way up to and through the the first world war, to today, the aristocracy of Europe was very interesting in the Occult.

This was a thread about Overcoming Lust. You started espousing feminism like you have an agenda. You didn't add anything. You suddenly felt the feminist white knight, and needed to use this opportunity and platform to brigand the conversation. What was most important to you after reading the OP? "What about women?" You asked. That was inappropriate coming from you, and the way it came.

Stop. You are making yourself look the fool, and dishonoring yourself with this.

Marxist Betty Friedan Feminism is not consistent with the Bible. You have displaying values and FRUIT, that is not meeting the standard. What is fruit?

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Matthew 7:16-20)

The topic is Overcoming Lust. Unless you have something constructive to add, you should cease responding.

You have been rebuked, and chastised. Someone who doesn't understand the difference between judgement, someone is given the death penalty, and being rebuked and chastised, he doesn't know God. (Hebrews 12:6)

Please don't flame others by saying he looks like a fool and he doesn't know God. Stick to the topic only and not the person.
