I think we are having some issues here in the forum. And I believe it is because of some long held beliefs that are not totally true and some are flat out myths. Before I post what I believe is the truth I would like to take a poll and see where we all stand on this question. I feel like many of the threads we have going in the BDF and other places flow from this one question. I believe it's a serious question to be answered and I'm looking forward to the results of the poll. Thank you for taking part.
For me, I see this
Water and oil can't mix naturally. You can put oil and water in a glass, seal the top, shake it up and the oil and water appears mixed
People, get excited for a short while
Then as the glass of oil and water sits still for a while, the oil and water separate. It does not stay mixed as it appeared when shaken up.
Do we the people see the tricks of flesh nature using flesh nature? To get things here and now?
Do we see, sitting in Moses's seat, and getting others excited. Will that be the only reward those that do this for any self gain?
Authorized (King James) Version
Matt 23:1-3
23 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: 3 all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,
that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
Motive, y'all Motive is what God always sees, why are you doing what you do or not do?
Thanks for the post Sister
