World's Misperception

[Soulserf]

While discussing my spiritual side in regards to my interest in life coaching the professional said to me "people chose animals and God because their easy, they don't talk back." That statement angered me. It's a worldly misperception God is easy. It is not easy to walk in faith and love. It is not easy to pray & forgive your enemy. It is not easy to trust that which you can not see. It is not easy to love those you don't know. It is a cowards excuse not to have to search his own soul & change that says God is easy.

     I too have heard the expression but I don't think that is what they mean.....the emphasis is not on the "easy',it is on the''not talking back".....In other words it is a sarcastic way of saying that it is easy to be in a one sided relationship,where no one will answer you back & you can have it your way,no one will disagree with you...

      Take it from where it came from,obviously someone who does not have a relationship with our Lord & those that are carnal minded.....Christians ,walking in spirit & in Truth have eyes to see & ears to hear what the unbeliever cannot(or will not). Try not to judge the person that spoke so foolishly as a coward but rather just as what he is,what we all once were....a sinner,a sinner that needs forgiveness,a Savior, Jesus     pray for him,just as someone prayed for you....present him with the Gospel as someone once presented it to you(while you were in sin)

      God Bless you ,let us pray for the unbeliever                                          With love-in Christ,Kwik

Hi soulserf  Something hopefully edifying for Your spirit

 

Cletus says He has heard God speak audibly   i dont think i have    but i have family that have   my old mum  heard His voice a few times    once the same message at about the same time as my sister   which was something like ( I will Never leave You)     mums gone now but from my recollection  one time She heard His voice  when i was Young  and a new Christian    my brother and i were helping an elderly lady with her gardening and whatever     poor old mum had to drive us   and was sitting in the car grumbling about how we should be doing her house up   then from the back seat  a voice said  something like    (Do not complain  dont You know they are about their Fathers Business)   Mums sister whom i loved also would hear Gods voice on occasion 

 

i agree with You its not always easy to forgive people   yet with Gods help we should seek to make it our nature to have a forgiving and Loving heart

 

Please note i may not have remembered  the exact words but if not then pretty close  and when i say God spoke it may or may not have been via an Angel but i think You understand

 

This is Gods truth so i hope You are  blessed almost as much as i am by this

I agree, it is a misperception-and this is a good example of that. 

 

And for the record, anyone who thinks animals don't talk back have obviously never met my german shephard.

I agree, three is misconception involved here.  Why does something that is easy have to be negative?  It is easy to accept the Lord.  It was our hard living that kept us from Him, not because it was a hard path to His arms.  Tell that person that pride causes separation from God. (and pride is easy by the way)

It's not easy being a Christian. Life was a lot easier before I became one. However, I now have peace of mind that I never had before.

depends on how one defines "talk". I understand what your saying and agree animals do have their way of communicating. Just pointing out what the argument would be if you said that to that particular life coach.

 

I know dogs have their communication methods as several times I have had to control other peoples dogs verbally when they refused to. Mainly because they had no idea what different barks mean. Also because they don't know that dogs are pack animals and respond to the strong leader.

There is really no "misperception" as light has come into the world, but men love darkness more than light because their works are evil.

The problem is people know what is right, but they have chosen darkness over light. There is no misperception, only wrong choices on their part.

People who don't know animals talk just have never listened.

People who don't God talks just have never listened. Having ears that do not hear.
