Am I A Hypocrite To Care?

[Pariah]

Luke 6: 39And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 41And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 43For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Seems to me that caring for those that are astray is a hypocritical move on my part since for me to hear and do His sayings is not to seek to recover those out of the snare of the devil.

1 John 2:18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Galatians 1:6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Titus 3: 10A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

Matthew 10:13And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

I do believe I went beyond the first and second admonition: therefore I repent of seeking those that have bought into the promotion of the Holy Spirit as they deny Him as having received Him at salvation as promised by Jesus. If they do not want to rest in Jesus but serve something else in His name and glorify something else in His name as if the simplicity of the Gospel is lacking something, so be it. Apparently, they are subverted to hear me not.

Dear Pariah , your zeal does you credit , as a bible believer myself i can relate sometimes to the frustration , but that is fleshly and it is Charis we must seek , you have the fervour of the gospel through the blood of Christ but we trust the Holy Ghost to show the things of Christ and we just carry on preaching the foolishness of the gospel . We are earthen vessels to be whatever God wants and it is not for us to know what works he can work in us

I do not know if true fellowship can ever be realized when the faith is not being contended for as in being likeminded in Christ in that respect. Seeing how the internet is really nothing more but an outreach than an actual fellowship, I do wonder if anyone can know if one is abiding in Him or not other than by the words they speak? So how to continue? Is verse 30 the key?

Matthew 13: 24Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

But what of "2 Corinthians 6: 14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. " ???

How does one obey His sayings?

Gibby booted out a believer that was a practising homosexual as one rebuking a brother in a trespass that he needs to repent of. Can moderators and forum leaders here be able to contend for the faith as well or is it that the subjects for which is in question is still up for discernment? Are you all going to have a pow-wow soon to decide or is it the indecision that makes this place as Matthew 13:30 arena as if God is leading you all to leave it "open"?

Can I just correct you on one point Gibby did not boot anyone for being homosexual..... I booted that person for being over graphic. Being homosexual had nothing to do with it,,,,, no one else speaks like that on this forum and no one if I have my way ever will...

Just so ya know

Thanks, onesiphorus, for your words of encouragments.

I myself being downtrodden today because of a sad loss.

Yesterday, driving home from the dentist, I found three baby racoons huddled together in the middle of the road. Up the road a littlw way was apparently the mother raccoon that had been killed and being picked over by ravens over the past week. I scooped them up and brought them home for inquiries. My mother called one that works as a park ranger, and he said it was against the law for me to bring them in. He gave assurances to my mother that one may be surprised at how these little animals will survive so the advise was to take them back into the woods about ten feet or so, and leave them. My mother did more calling around avoiding the call to the actual game commission since the ranger that we knew said they would charge us for taking them in.

I thought the law was against taking them in and keeping them as pets. I had mentioned that I saw in the newspaper about a baby raccoon rescued as it was being fed a baby bottle so I was trying to figure out who would do that as my mother called around. Out of options, I did as advised in setting them out in the woods. I left them in the box for warmth, and left bird seeds in it for them to muncvh on, but that was probably a bad move on my part. I had set them under a bramble bush that covered one side, and near the water, but... I checked up on them this morning. The two youngest ones were dead as the third was missing. One was in the box, having his head in the hole in the bottom of the box as the other was out of the box with his head under the box. My imaginations seems to fit the crime scene of birds pecking away at their eyes as they sought cover and since seperated, they could not keep warm, and death claimed them.

Oversight...... obeying the law of the land...... and other influences had ended my charitable act to one of stupidity. I blame myself for their deaths. I am certain the oldest one is probably gone too, but I know not. All I can remember are the sad, frightened little eyes of those wondering where their mother was.

And to think of those being left behind as there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I guess a great loss is coming as I shall rest in Jesus that He is Lord.

OH!

Thanks, canny. I stand corrected. I had seen your post correcting the poster for the use of the words, but I did not get the impression that you booted him because of that since it looked like you were warning him. Then as posters were responding to him on the subject of homosexuality, the thread was closed as informed that the poster that started the topic was booted. I am not sure what gave me the impression that gibby booted him, but I apologized for my misperception.

Thanks for caring.

As the memory shall fade with time, the damage to my self esteem continues. I'm just thankful that Jesus loves me still in spite of my stupidity.

I'm sorry too Pariah, to be involved must be horrible. I live in a very remote area of Cumbria UK where Pheasants are bred for shooting. just before the season thousand of birds are let loose on the moors. Unlike the local birds who have some road sense, these have none and often fly into the cars If I hit one I'll hand it over to the Lord in prayer. He's omnipresent and is every place at every time, he can bless those birds and the racoons by meeting their needs at the time their needs needed to be met. I hope that made sense.

[GloryB]

Awww Pariah, I'm so sorry you had to go through such a bad event. I live in a real rural area where there are many wild animals. The rule of thumb is to leave babies alone and let them die if there is not a mother to care for them. This is just the way it goes in nature....but it sure does seem sad.
