Kindness is a good thing...
Posted : 11 Nov, 2012 01:11 PM

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Knowing it is one thing...putting it into practice is another.

May the Lord truly bless and keep you all!

But before we can truly live in truth we have to come out from all of our hiding places, truth being the final and most difficult hiding place to come out from.



I know to you this sounds like double talk but I hope and pray you will one day understand this truth.

So, did I show kindness to my neighbor by respscting his request? or in your opinion should I have shown your type of love by forcing the truth on him?

"If you guys in the beginning tried to get to know and understand me and develop a relationship before correcting and judging me things might have turned out differently between us."

So I can't say that your distortion of submission is wrong because I don't know you? If you could take correction for anything we would not be in this. Still, you blame everyone else for your mistakes.

"But my response surprised him. I told him all the ggod things I see in him. How he cares about his neighbors, how he is respected by his neighbors, etc...."

So you made the guy feel comfortable being a sinner? Wonderful. Where do you ever see evangelism play out like this in scripture? In scripture, we see sin being confronted. We don't see believers telling unbelievers how great they are so that maybe they will be persuaded because you think they are as good as they think themselves to be.

"12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."



Blaming others..... nothing new under sun.

I will point to the life of Jesus and you will have your answer. Want more reinforcement? Look at Paul. They both shatter your theory.

"Kindness" is a Good thing and it occurs 48 times in 43 verses in the KJV



Here is a few verses�



Psa 31:21 Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.



Psa 141:5 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.



2Cr 6:6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,



Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.



And in the middle of these verses to follow is "Kindness"...



2 Pe 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;



7 [[[ And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. ]]]



8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.



Hallelujah !!!...:applause:...:bouncy:...:yay:...<><...xo
