think of the parable of the talent

1, 2, or 5

oh no, we might be held accountable for the gift of empathy?:eek:
I think...of course!!! We are given tools to be able to love and encourage one another and we are called to carry anothers burdens. I think if we don't, it shows the condition of an unsoftened heart.

I fall short though, that is for sure.

Not a thing, no odd name, nothing the newbie said yet... just the person comes in and my brain goes to yellow alert for no obvious reason.

Sure was handy.
Wow, handy and confirming that He is alive and well in you, if you ask me.

as long as we are humble, we don't have to fear accountability because God gives grace to the humble

wait a minute, what if we have misapplied "humility" or the word "hypocrisy", and caused more damage to ourselves? a seed of misunderstanding can lead to many branches of confusion, and misapplication

oh man, rightly divide the word of truth
and we will be held accoutable to what we know? <-- if we misapplied this part, thinking "don't read the bible, the less we know, the less we'd be held accountable for", yet we need to rightly divide the word of truth, as God's word is the seed that planted in the soil of our heart, and we are called to "bear much fruit"

more word = more seed = more fruit
wow!

You had me trying to replace hypocrisy in that sentence, dang you. You were right, though, my brain has branched out into twig after twig of tormenting confusion, lol. Seriously though, I bet doctrines and wars have started with misapplication and misunderstading, so many things get lost in the translation.

Astrology is mere man stumbling onto God's creation. The foolish and absurd mankind lacks the capacity to understand it, hahaha. We mustn't look to the stars, for the answers are with the One that even they look up to.

compassion + forgiveness + making sense
compassion and forgiveness <-- enchanting

2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3
if we still know how to add fractions together

it's so enchanting, that if we keep interacting like this and people misunderstand what's going on, people might think of shipping us toward each other, lol

Oh that was good, proving ignorance can indeed be bliss. ALSO, it can be bothersome and troublesome too, just a large supply of empty potential..just think of the trouble we could avoid if we applied good sense and knowhow into every stormy equation.

But since I reckon I'm old enough to be your Mama they'd probably just accuse you of being a Mama's boy. I am NOT doing your laundry, son!!! Hahaha

those are traits, can't be quantified in math, but a helpful ingredient

interactions can be mesmerizing, till we become numb (in heaven, numbness won't happen) of the rhythm

Balance is so sound and almost always the best option. Do you think it is an attribute of His?
yes, even though the bible may sound like the book of extremes, and Satan would whisper, try something like Buddhism, it's more balanced.

God want's relationship, unfortunately, we are "jekyll and hyde" where hyde need to be crucified, <-- wow, this is very simplifying, and the focal point become spiritual warfare with a purpose (strengthening relationships)

how insightful!
God is a genius

Sometimes when interacting with a highly intelligent fella such as yourself, I realize it isn't numbness I'm facing but my own dumbness, hahaha Seriously, though, thanks for humoring me, and for honoring me with your time. . It has been fun, very entertaining, and thought provoking.

optimal balance can feel like an extreme that risk indulgence <-- seriously? in this fallen world, there is no escaping the pendulum

and optimal balance should be like the "superman" of all concepts, or so we think
