-------------- CHARACTER --------------
The
true test of people's character
is how they behave when they believe
they will never be held to account
for anything they do or don't do.
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
A Brother approaches you and asks you to explain to him the difference between soul and spirit. You ask him why?
He thanks you for your interest and refers to scripture:
“For
the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints
and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart.” Hebrews 4:12.
And backs this with:
"Then
the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into
his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living
soul." Genesis 2:7
Further tempering these with:
"Now
may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your
whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:23
Adding,
"I'd like to know your best thoughts on their differences and would
like you to focus upon what distinguishes one from the other."
Fully
realizing that the two words are often used synonymous, you avoid this
direction and issue IN TOTAL and endeavor to share your best thoughts on
his actual question and not what you might share that would in any way
dismiss his question.
What
insights about his interest do you share with him, fully honoring his
request without forcing him toward what you would do, and actually
answering his question?
Have fun!
-------------- PEACE --------------
What Building Blocks
do you consistently put into place
on a Daily Basis
to Assure your Soul's Peace?
-------------- AN EDUCATION --------------
Yup.
And a truly educated person
is the first to add,
"I want to know!"
when it truly matters.
-------------- ONE OR THE OTHER --------------
"I sincerely cannot think of a better guaranteed way
of starting a robust conversation,
than by utilizing a subtle logical fallacy or two.
My only thought is if people are doing this
because they are great conversationalists,
or if they are truly unaware of the rhetorical device.
I cross my fingers for the former,
but strongly suspect the latter."
-- Bro. Earnest Lee
-------------- RUFFIAN --------------
-------------- HERETICS --------------
Those who selfishly keep Light to themselves
or who punish those who would share It
do chain the whole of humanity.
-------------- FACADE --------------
the Attrition of its Ranks,
it
must first get Serious about
Meaningless Advancement.
There is Nothing
Attractive
about Titular Masters,
unless one Seeks Superficial Glories.
-------------- FOCUS! --------------
But first,
make sure you actually know
what the problem is!
-------------- MYTH --------------
-------------- INGRAINED --------------
Make
it an Ingrained Habit
to Share what Little Light you have
With Those
Worthy to Receive it,
Backed with an Unyieldingly Earnest Interest
to
Explore Further.
For those Moments when
your Need to Know
Overrides your Desire to
Tolerate Ignorant Participation.
-------------- PHYSICS --------------
Newtonian Physics Fun!
