Hey Christian people, you might wanna look up the definition of Christian and if you still want to label yourself as one, then shut up about this election nonsense and stop throwing stones at glass houses folks. Stop complaining, stop gloating and being prideful, stop hating and fueling the fire. And my biggest thing, as usual, is stop being ignorant people.
You know why you don't see me posting about how gays and lesbians are just sick and are morally wrong? First of all, standing for something you believe in is one thing, but being hypocritical and disrespectful is another. God's greatest commandment is "LOVE ONE ANOTHER" so stop hating. I've been married twice and in the Bible that too is a sin, so who am I to tell YOU that the union between a man and woman is the only thing that's Holy. I failed in God's eyes at that so I WILL NOT judge you on that. I know what you're thinking, "But that's what the Bible says!!!" Yes, yes it does. It also says in Proverbs 15:2 "The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly." I also had sex before marriage, so before the teenagers and tweens and re-married adults start pulling out things from the Bible, you might want to look at your own life first. If you are/have been spreading your legs and other lips before marriage and/or have been married more than once or who live in a failed marriage but hiding behind closed doors, then you probably don't want to spread the lips on your face to voice your opinion on anything in the Bible. You dig?
Here's why,"Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape judgment of God? Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?" Romans 2:1-4.
You know why I don't make racial comments? You know why I don't argue back with people when they say it's inproper to wear pants to church? You know why I don't criticize those who MAKE THESE COMMENTS on Facebook and in conversations even if I agree and want to make my point? Because I'm a sinner people. Because I've been married twice, I had sex before marriage, I have marked (tattooed) my body, I sin every single day, and I have a long list of others sins that God knows about and I'm more concerned about living right and trying to discipline myself to be a better follower of God than whine and complain about my candidate not winning the election or to gloat and be prideful about my candidate winning and comment on other's views trying to prove them wrong and laugh at them. I'm more concerned about what God sees in my heart than being angry and upset. I don't care how much college and schooling you've had or if you went or are going to a Christian based school, shut your mouth if you truly want to be a child of God.
If you're that upset about the election outcome, start thinking of ways you can attribute your part, no matter how big or small, to better the economy and better yourself. Donate your time and donate your love to the matter instead of bitterness and/or boasting with pride.
The best advice I can take and use and also give is simply this:
Matthew 7:3
KJV: 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
NIV: 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
GW: 3 So why do you see the piece of sawdust in another believer’s eye and not notice the wooden beam in your own eye? 4 How can you say to another believer, ‘Let me take the piece of sawdust out of your eye,’ when you have a beam in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye. Then you will see clearly to remove the piece of sawdust from another believer’s eye.
NLV: 3 Why do you look at the small piece of wood in your brother’s eye, and do not see the big piece of wood in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take that small piece of wood out of your eye,’ when there is a big piece of wood in your own eye? 5 You who pretend to be someone you are not, first take the big piece of wood out of your own eye. Then you can see better to take the small piece of wood out of your brother’s eye.
