The Answer to Malicious Slander

(1Ti 5:19)

Against an elder *receive not an accusation, but before *two or three witnesses.

ALSO-

(Dt 19:15)

One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at *the mouth of two witnesses, or at the *mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

Since the Advent of Social Media

There is No Greater Vehicle of Damaging Someone

Both “Spiritually and Psychologically”

An Absolute Modern Day Phenomenon of Destruction…

The Medium is not Independently Alone,

Because it Takes Godless, Conscienceless and Moral-less People

to Pull the Trigger on their mouths and fingers!

The Scripture Has the Answer…

2 or 3 Witnesses-

A Witness is Someone Who is (1st Hand)

There…

Or Saw

Or Heard

And not Just One Person is Good Enough-

It Must Be by 2 or 3 (at least)

The New Testament Solution Was Not Intended for Just “Elders”

As it was Advised By and From Old Testament scripture validating a solution to that particular instance…

Make The Connection Between Old and New

And you have the Same Solution…

This is God’s way, Not Yours!

If this doesn’t satisfy you then your problem is too big for God!

Which Leaves You Looking Unsatisfiable to God’s Way…

When it Doesn’t Go Your Way!

Trust Me…

Your Way Will Flounder

God’s Way Will Prosper!

1 Peter 4:11

What Have You Done?

(1Sa 13:11)

[11] And Samuel said, What hast thou done?

And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that *thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;

Saul has just jumped the gun…

The Man of God, Samuel, did not make the appointment, he was late…

And in his desperation and fear thought that things that were reserved for the ministry could be executed by Himself, as well as the Man of God.

He determined that (broken appointments) were more important than

(Broken commandments…)

So thus he offered an offering-

(to the Lord)-Which should be a good thing…right?

No, not when it is above your Pay-grade!

What Have You Done?

His excuses were useless and fell on deaf ears (God’s)

What Have You Done?

It cost him the Kingdom…

Now The Lord Will go and Find Himself Another Captain (King)

One after His own heart…

What Have You Done?

You couldn’t wait on the Man of God for Counsel…(and it may be his fault) BUT-

Your Excuses?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

1 Peter 4:11

Untenable Offenses

(Pr 18:19)

19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

Another Translation-

(Pr 18:19)

[19] An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city.

Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.

The scripture is not sanctioning Offenses nor the results of someone that is Offended…

But rather the Results of Offenses as Facts, Untenable as they may be!

The Correction is so Great as to be Compared to conquering a strong city… Wow!

The Wisdom here given by God, is that the

(Offender and the Offended )

Both are in an Untenable and Disastrous Stalemate-

Stalemate Between Themselves-

And Both on The Outs With God According to Scriptural Teaching and Doctrines…

Wisdom-

Don’t be the Offender to the Offended

1 Peter 4:11

A Vaccine That Works Against Offenses

(Ps 119:165)

( GREAT PEACE) have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

*AMP

165 (Great peace) have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble.

Inoculated by-

Loving His Law Brings

-GREAT PEACE…

Which in Turn Results in a 2 Fold Benefit-

1. Nothing Shall Offend You

2. Nothing Shall Make You Fall

The Scripture is Always Right and We as Often as Not Are Mistaken and Wrong!

When Your “Love”

For His Law Outweighs All Else Then Nothing Can Offend You!

When We Get Offended It is Usually Because it Becomes Personal…

But True Love for God Knows That We Are Not Our Own, We Are His!

-When You Attack Me I do Not Respond Because I am-“His”

And God Will Take Care of His Own Business Without My Intervention!

Wisdom- Do Nothing and Let God Handle It…

When we do- it always ends up a mess!

1 Peter 4:11

The Habitation of His Throne

(Ps 89:14)

14Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

The Mistaken Idea God’s throne is only Mercy and Love (which these are there) is to abscam and defraud the Environment that Seats His Throne…

His Throne is Seated in the Realm of-

“Justice and Judgment”

You Cannot Separate the Cloudy Environment that His Throne is Seated in…

Justice and Judgment

Surround His Throne!

His Justice is Fair…

His Judgment is Final…

God is not Unjust and God cannot Lie-

Regardless of Your View Point and Opinion and or Emotion-

God is Unwavering When it Comes to His Justice and Judgment toward Us!

That is why it demanded a mediator and sacrifice to present to God both Mercy and Truth…for the Consequences of our Sins…

Otherwise we’re toast!

Never treat Mercy and Truth lightly, without them-

There is No Hope for you…

1 Peter 4:11

Worthy of that world

(Lk 20:35)

35 But they which shall be accounted (worthy to obtain that world), and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

The introduction of Another World by Jesus is breaking all former doctrines-

From an Abrahamic destination to that of a World they knew not of…

One that required unequivocally a Resurrection which had been in question.

The Requirement indicated was that you had to be “Worthy”

Your independent Worth had to enough to qualify your entrance-

Are You Worthy?

To become Worthy it necessitated that Your Worth must be Qualified!

Thus the need to be Born Again…

And Maintain that Status!

I want to be made Worthy to Obtain that World, preceded  by the Rapture-

(the resurrection)

The dead in Christ 1st then We…

Are You Worthy?

Blessings and Curses

Joshua 23:15

15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

With God there is No Middle ground…

⁃ Heaven or Hell

⁃ Right or Wrong

⁃ Holy or Unholy

⁃ Clean or Unclean

⁃ Hot or Cold

⁃ Saved or Lost

Life is About Choices…

You may not be able to choose “What Happens”

But- you can Choose “How” you deal with it…

So You Choose the Outcome that You Want-

Blessings or Curses?
