READ 1 Corinthians 9:8-10
Am i expressing merely a human opinion or does the law say the same thing. For the law of Moses says “YOu must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads our the grain. Was God only thinking of Oxen when he said this?”
Open Commentary
I personally wish to share the joy and hapiness, with the sheer heights of spiritual freedom i find ion my life, i feel compeled to be open and caring. But there are obvious limitations in life and social circumstance. It is actually possible to drive someone from their homes into a foreign or far away country. Thats what happen to the Jewish peoples after the contemporary diaspora but also throughout bible times. Once you leave the country of your birth, its possible tp become isolated and easy pickings by persons, who’d replaced you open expression of joy and happiness as objectionable. Hence MOses being raised to save the Israelites from Egypt. Its an easy human quality, to restrict the ability to share joy and happiness. We can be grumpy pants but each day we actively choose not to give it power. Not sharing joy and happiness with others actually probably means top the limitation of a humans ability to grasp the ability to convey ideas and conceptions. You live in a culture where that happens. Thats scary.
The bible reads all the advantages of spiritual growth, such as, peace, pateance, kindness, self control, love and compassion.
There are situations that should have never developed around us today. Paul who was Saul, became the person to show the way, out of the sticky situations. It worked too.
THe beauty of this passage in 1 Corinthians 9:8-10 is the metahor used. My favourite metaphor is dealing with situtaions in a metaphorical way too.
When sharing joy and happiness, of ones own life, that is that an ox must be allowed to eat whiklst working, is another metaphor onto of this one. Like the ox is a river. Dont stop the flow of a river, but and dig around it to capture it, and guide it through turbines to power heaters and cooking applicances in homes for a entire country. Now thats exactly why people go to bible school and even university in general, to study important matters, because all human acrtions in society add up.
So join me as i have faith that, like a river, no one remembers a twig or a leaf as it flows by, much like the good in our lives outweights the bad. But the river of life, and its lunar flow and of rising and lowering tides, where can simple drift to either direction…
I have faith like the ox and like the river.
THe good outweight the bad in my life.
Because alot of what happens, is being that we are prodcuts of our environments, and have little freewill in many matters.
THerefore after this article essay, lets lead ourselves towards christs words when he said forgive your neighbour not 7 times but 77 times, and when he said not to judge, and he said look at the sparrow bird in all it godly wonder and beauty. Christ came and connected people to the world around them. He lead the core driving point, that simply, people are product of our environments. Mary Magadeline wasent a prostitute. She was a slave and had no choice. People who werent Jewish at those times, werent any different that Gods people in Israel, because in the Psalms its reads that God took Israel as a light to the world to save it.
Here is a test of the human minds perception and with catch out people.
Have you spent one hour in a volunteer group in the past week? Yes or No. If yes good. You’ll understand every letter of my article. If you havent, or perhaps never have, you’ll never be freind with me. Probably forever, because you heart is heavy and harder than a stone.
Islam and Christianity has alot of work to do, in order to provide a faith in God as preferable. The new testament containing Pauls letters did alot to create the universal church, of which today, a straight line can be drawn between a spiritual faith and scientific lifestyles and ways of life. Personally i believe, that because of Paul who was Saul, we have computers because of his work many years ago.
Look at the stark numbers.
6 billion people. 2 billion of christian and islamic. That make Abraham faith approach to god as a 1/3 minority. Plus english spekaing countries have lower birth rates. So therefore this really do look shaky..
It seems any person who presents these arguments and discussions are defamed and maglined into being placed under certain black mail, or restraint of liberties.
But the liberty of expression, is exactly what Paul stood for.
He wrote loving and compassionate letter after letter after letter.
Paul saved the world, saved the church, which then, the church eventually backed sciencetific discoveries, until the present day…. look at the marvels we have now! Smart phone and smart TVS. Even electric cars. Now that cool.
But like the ox dilemma, will people as myself be restrainted, even as Paul says dont restraint the ox when it treads the grain.
The day people are jailled for being too happy or too overjoyed.
Now thats a shakey day indeed.
If that happens, people got to read Plato, to comprehend His cosmology and Plato journey for shape, form, beauty, meaning, and purpose.
I hear that Plato was muched loved and lived a long life too!
