What if your church mate kills (murder) your wife & children. Do it says let it be?
Why paul removed the member have a relationship with his stepmother?
@@daddada2984 whole different story not what he saying.

Is that for small & big issues?
@@daddada2984 sin is sin you can get over being done wrong but murder really if you gonna to sin best to sue.
I have personally experienced this in a positive way. I had a financial entanglement with a family member who was taking advantage of me (they're not a christian). I had a word from God to no longer say negative things to people in my life, including them. So, I stopped discussing the problem and trying to solve it in my own strength. I also tried my best to no longer talk about the problem with my husband. Friends even encouraged me to take legal action and thought I was naive to not do anything. I remember praying and surrendering to God, knowing that I have a heavenly inheritance. It was painful, because we had debt and my husband was working 2 jobs at the time. I kept praying for the situation and the family member. Within a year, everything changed, and God provided money at the perfect time.Even now, my husband works a 35 hr work week and makes more money than he did with 2 jobs. It was really an amazing answer to prayer.
Thank you Roxanne for this encouraging confirmation for me ⚜️🙏🏼⚜️
thank you for your obedience and testimony... I needed to hear this about now
If that family member wasn’t Christian then it would’ve been ok to take them to court.
@Gentle Serpent
Not true. Even Christ asked God to forgive those men who crucified him.
Forgiveness is not seeking for revenge.
Praise God!!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 :)))))
The Bible is really a mysterous book. You read it today it gives you this message. Read it tomorrow, it gives a total differen message but same verse. I call it a Living Book.
Exactly ! yes it is living and breathing because it is the word of God and the word was and is God and since God is alive then yes the Bible is living.
What verse have you had do that? 🤔 usually when that happens we are looking for the verse to be about us or application in our life instead of studying in context . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@No KF the goat will bow down 2 The Lion & The Lamb He says totally different message? No! We should not be isolating a verse looking for a message. That is how people twist verses out of context to say all kinds of things that God does not say. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@tam4givin facts ... The Bibles message isn't different everyday.
@@geninatorres4863 Exactly! I was pointing out the falseness of that.
“Why not accept the injustice and leave it at that?”
Serious question time. I’m a single dad, my wife abandoned me and our 2 kids, and I’ve raised them on my own for over a decade. My oldest (15yr old) is special needs, nonverbal, he can’t do anything on his own, so I tube feed him 7 times a day, bathe him, change his diapers, take him to all of his therapies and doctors appointments, etc. Their mom shows up to see them a few times a year (supervised), but never the less, I told her the door is open anytime she wants to visit the kids.
After the divorce I entered into a relationship with a female that has serious problems with promiscuity, lies, and pure evilness. We had a daughter together, and I felt like staying together was the right thing to do. After a couple of years of trying to make it work for our daughter’s sake, my fiancée became too overbearing for me to deal with, so I left.
We worked out custody arrangements, and she’s NEVER held to her end. I have a daughter that I don’t get to see and be a part of her life, and it eats at me because I’m a great dad that would raise my daughter in the church, just as I have with my 2 boys. Little girls need their dad especially for having a role model, disciplinary figure/leader, and example of how a man should treat a woman. I’ve asked my ex-fiancée hundreds of times why I never get to see my daughter, and never once received an answer.
Here’s my question:
Should I cut all ties with my ex and daughter because of the never ending injustice I receive for (unjustifiably) not being allowed to be a part of my daughters life because of my ex’s poor decisions? Should I accept the injustice and leave it at that?
Lately I’ve felt defeated and have considered accepting the injustice by cutting ties and completely removing myself from her life. I feel like it’s too late for me to raise my daughter into a Christian woman, because her mom certainly isn’t setting a good example of how women/mothers should act.
Sorry it took me forever to get to my question, I felt a backstory was necessary.
Don't cut off connection with your daughter.
Listen to what GOD has to say and He'll let you know, trust GOD.
Let's first address this. As a Christian man, you have made poor decisions in the area of sexual sin, i.e... having sex and/or children before marriage. Although, yes, God WILL forgive, Unfortunately you WILL suffer the consequences of sin. Please ask God to help you make better choices in that area.
Second. Please, please don't cut ties with your daughter. Even if you don't see her often, try calling her, emailing her, message her on social media, heck! Send her a card on birthdays, holidays, etc. She NEEDS to know you at least always tried and never gave up on her. As she gets older and understands life more, she'll see the truth and will remember you always tried.
Scripture say’s do not be with an unequally yoked. If she wasn’t a God fearing woman yet you still got involved with her then that was the first mistake you made but know that no matter what you will always be her father 1 day she will want to know who you are or ask questions on why she never got to see her so even if you’re going through the injustice never close your doors to your daughter.
Sometimes back stories are necessary.
That’s absolutely true Allen, it’s like worrying. It doesn’t make one better but bitter. We have to ask for his guidance cos as humans, it’s not so easy. Thank you Bro Allen🙏
Well said
This verse is so convicting, my uncle, who is a pastor, has blatantly cheated us on the house we bought from him, it was either take him to court or lose our home. We also purchased a new car from him, paid it off three yrs ago, over $30,000, and now after three years after it has been paid off, he still will not sign the title to us. My husband wants to go back to court.. but this verse convicts my heart so much, I do not want to be out of God's will.. 😪😪😪
If you have paid for the property, it is just to have a third party look into making sure you receive it. I believe that this is reffering to taking revenge by lawsuit for something you did not earn, and feel you are entitled to for nothing more than vengence. But i still have a long way to go myself. Just my opinion.
During a medical procedure, a medical device broke off in my spine leaving me crippled in pain. If God can help me accept this injustice, you should realize he can help you as well.
My wife gave birth last year and during delivery the Doctor broke her pelvis, you know it took the Holy Spirit to keep me SANE, so it wasn't me who kept ME SANE. NO it was the fruit of the Holy Spirit in me! The SELF CONTROL doesn't come from flesh, but it come's from The Holy Spirit. God is good!
Last year my wisdom tooth was being taken out, and I was awake with local anaesthetic. The doctor pulling my tooth out was an in angle that left my whole left side go through months of pain. I felt so angry, hurt, and upset because the point of the wisdom tooth being taken out was to not have pain. The pain was worse, but truly God gave me to peace to forgive him and let it go. Honestly God brought me through the pain and I'm better. I get the pain once every 3 days in a month, and God given me the keys on what to do, but thank you for your testimony because I still need to trust God over this pain. I'll pray for you too.
Was the doctor a Christian? Allowing medical malpractice by a non Christian isn't the same thing.
You can sue in that instance. God gave providone for you to be compensated for injury. This verse is speaking about dealing with Christians who sue you for your material possessions.
@@robinhuff1867
Thank you! This is a whole different subject, to suffer physical harm. God made provisions for that in His word. Compensation isn't wrong.
The point with what Paul says is about a Christian suing you over material stuff. In the long run it's *them" that has to stand before God over their greed.
👍👍👍👍 10,000 % . FORGIVING and TRUSTING GOD and moving on with life SHALL be a BLESSING to the one that adhere to this. AMEN AMEN AMEN.
I mostly attempt to accept and forgive injustices committed toward myself. However, when injustice is committed against friends or family, I have trouble not retaliating. Pray for me.
This needs to be shouted from the rooftops!!! When we allow the world to see disharmony in the church, we lessen our witness.
Very true, remember, slavery, even sex slavery (Exodus 21-7-12) is completely Biblical, while the world sees this as evil. So, it is our duty as Christians to avoid the world's point of view. After all, what is justified by God often seems unjustifiable to the world.
@@bostonjackson9384 this scripture refers to civil matters not criminal.
@@Bezzy911 Yes, I agree. My point is just to say that God's ways are not man's ways. Some things that man thinks are immoral are obviously okay with God. I used slavery as an example. Throughout the Bible, we see Scriptures that tell us God endorses slavery. Leviticus 25:44-46 and Exodus 21:7-8 are examples of that. Yet modern man sees slavery as immoral. It is obvious that God's ways are not man's ways. So, that is all I was pointing out.... God's ways and not always man's ways.
@@bostonjackson9384 modern day slavery is immoral and not ok with God. There were rules back then with slavery. Not so now. Slavery today is not okay with God.
The Bible does not say that slavery is NOT okay with God.
The Bible literally says:
Leviticus 25:44-46
You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way.
And
Exodus 221:7-8
7 And if a man sells his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. 8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
Furthermore, Jesus literally said,:
Matthew 5:18
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
This is so so timely I mean.The holy spirit keeps directing the children of God everyday. Exactly what I needed to apply this moment to solve an issue. Thanks for this.
It’s just sad that us humans are so malicious and bitter, that we need Christ to humble us and lead us because if we do things in our own effort it leads to pain and suffering
Amen,I will Put my Trust in GOD ALL MIGHTY, opportunity to Forgive!
🙏🌏🔥Revival Come
❤❤❤
I love JESUS CHRIST👑
I love You❤
Happy Harvest Time🍁
Love this 💕 how many times do we do this in everyday life. Oh heart be still! The ego wants to always lead us in a battle but be by Faith in God. It is the Lords to take care of as all things are unfolding for our good. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.
This is very timely. Coming from being literally cheated by my ex. Though no lawsuits ate involved in my case, the thought of being wronged still hurts and yes, they still run free and got away with it. But the Bible says, "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes." Ps. 37:7
When you do this and trust God, he moves you intoa place that is a bigger blessing then you had before so yes..trust God despite the injustice, sit back and let God move and watch what was taken from you, taken from them and watch it crumble from afar. It is quite spectacular to watch when you Let God your father handle it.
You may not ger bigger financial blessings though, it may be an actual loss, but you will get closer to Him, which is the greatest blessing.
Amen times ten! Forgiveness means what it means.
Amen.
Well i have a hatred problem
Ever since my mothe reefuse to forgive my narcissistic sister and my cousin, i wanted to condemn my mother in my heart to make sure "if you refuse to forgive then God will not forgive you" guarantees to her.
My assumption today is if i myself am not forgiving her?
@@bailujen8052 you did not forgive her if you want God to condemn her. you should bless her and wish God has mercy on her. remember we're all guilty in front of God and we all deserve to go to Hell. your mom is guilty but if you don't have mercy on her how can God have mercy on you
This hits so hard for me right now 🤯 I work for a catholic employer but recently it feels like the work environment is very unethical…I won’t go in detail, but this helped me so much
The kind of teaching that is literally absent from most churches. Thanks Pastor Allen!
God is the best judge, it's not my job to judge others. God's got my back and will take care of justice that is for me specifically. Hallelujah!
That is so powerful and I was always the first to encourage people to take it to court. No more of that!
This is only addressed for Disputes among Christians. If you are a Christian and the other party is not, you do take the to court.
@@Bezzy911 Really? But since the goal is to get as many people onto the road to Christ at some point, how would taking them to court show true christian love and values?
@@BrotherMaverick you can do both.
If you want God to forgive you, you must forgive others. The moment you do, you will be liberated by the Holy Spirit in grace and clarity of the Gospel itself. It's the most beautiful thing God has shown me, and I'm grateful forever to Him that gave and revealed this.
Thank you so much, I am going to use this on my class 6,7&8, where I teach the gospel!!!👌🏽😘💕
Great Word ! It's very hard to swallow but Biblically sound. I really needed to hear this !!! Thank you. God bless you, Allen. ➕
I have did that without reading that scripture and still do in my everyday life one way or another thank you FATHER GOD KING JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT 🙏✝️🤲👑
If you look back upon your day or your week you will find that you do this on a consistent basis. People take cuts in line or cut you off while driving. At work other people may take credit for your work, or you get blamed for someone else's mistake. The smoke from your neighbors BBQ pit comes through your window. Neighbors dog barks during your nap time. Neighbors dog poops on your lawn. We let it all go and save the real fight for the real issues. Have you ever known someone who is an atheist ? Most of them are always looking for a reason to sue other people. The words "I would sue them" comes out of their mouths in conversation all of the time. We dont get angry at bad decisions made by others or even some of their minor indiscretions(caused by a momentary evil streak)Most of us abide by this unless someone else's actions are so egregious that it costs us life changing sums of money or life changing injury.
This is true, I recently was kicked into the fire. It took some time but … I’ll say God took that bitterness from me.
God is good and has been too good to this sinner. Now I’m thankful. 😊
Persecution at it's best is when you take the loss and let God handle it from there.
My wife left and took my children. I tried as long as I could to see if she would be open to resolving it together with counseling from our pastors and fellow believers - she would not. She let me see them on occasion but would never let them come to visit me at my home. As much as I hope for reconciliation to this day, I eventually took her to court over it because I felt obligated to fight for my kids and be their father. I very much would have preferred to resolve things within the body of believers but she would not, and I didn’t know how else to make sure my children were given the right to have their father be a real part of their lives. How can I just “accept the injustice” when my children are the directly suffering it too?
I think the difference here is you are fighting FOR your children's sake, right?
Not just doing it as a form of Justice or because you think you are entitled to it.
If that's true, and if it stays that way, I would say it is fine and just you sacrificing for the good of your children.
The justice system is taking it easy on women and it is trying to make some men include myself hate women giving other women a bad reputation
This is so true… but man it must be hard in practice. It’s a good lesson to me, my need or want for justice is strong. But I guess its a good lesson for all of us that we cant control everything, we just need to trust God.
Never, never accept injustice! 👼🏽
Oooo wheee! I do remember reading that scripture years ago. I wonder why it didn't stick in my memory like so many other verses have. 🤔😆😆😆😆 I got to come up!
Expecting perfect justice in this life will lead to bitterness. God says He will settle accounts in the end.
When my wife and I separated, battle lines were drawn. Lawyers were hired. We became entrenched for war. Without wanting to reconcile, but looking to heal and move on, I entered a book study called "The Bait of Satan", where being offended is his greatest and most effective weapon to get Christians to turn against each other. In this book was this and other scripture. It caused me to pause and take a more peaceful approach. This calmness allowed God to work in both of us, even though she received it with caution. (She thought I was trying to trick her.) Eventually, God worked in both of us, and without either one of us seeking it, we reconciled. ❤
💯 Gods timing is everything. I was going to “write-off” an issue but flesh was like - but they owe me. Know we I knew I needed to let it go. I do believe each situation has to be looked at on its own merit. How we for me - this was right on time.
Deep. God says, "Vengeance is Mine", so we need to learn to leave things for Him. Though it may seem like we are allowing ourselves to be stepped on, it shows true strength as it is harder to let go then seek compensation and indemnification from man
That verse is talking about lawsuits WITHIN the Church. He’s not talking about simply accepting injustice from everyone.
Yikes these are the types of verses you wont see preached often cause they hurt so much. I struggle with this type of thing the most, i'm not an unforgiving person in general but when someone crosses the line i really feel the need to get my own justice which isnt right in the eyes of the lord.
This is a tough one for me because I'm a fighter. I don't like getting picked on and attacked and I like to come out arms swinging. It's a tough struggle for me as a Christian to let things go when I know I've done nothing wrong and still get attacked. Need God's help with that one.
we must overcome not be overcome by our enemies through Christ
Very well stated. I've left it in God's hands & believe me, He has repaid them. The Lord is way better & meting out justice than I am. Vengeance is His.
OMG clicked on . A family members church is taking their new pastor to court. This answers things thanks
I needed to hear this. Thank you brother.
Let God handle it in Jesus name 🙏🏽🙏🏽
God bless you. I accept this teaching almost always in my life.
Wow … this just happened to me . Although it’s not this straight forward as me accepting the loss, but by me being quiet, I could harm others so I chose to speak out and my conscience was nagging me .
Any biblical knowledge I gain makes me a better man of god and able to be better for god in a more devine specific way with more hope to making my heavenly father happy and proud threw obedience and faith, desire and passion to know him,I LOVE ANY and ALL biblical knowledge because I believe in the Bible and the most truthful knowledge we can know,I had people tell me to sue,God doesn't want me to do that so I'm not!and to lots of people that's crazy and stupid but threw my father it's wise and just.And that gain I receive spiritually,is greater than money!Be Moldable!
as a nurse we get to along with nursed and doctors. i got to be friend with a doctor who ultimately caused my moms death. she intubated(neccessary) my mom due to covid complications. the procedure worsed that in rupture my moms windpipe and she succumb to it. i talked with this doctor she asked for forgiveness. i forgive her . but honestly from my gut, i sumtime kept on thinking it could been avoided if i did not consent the procedure.. its sssoooo hard to accept thid clip mr parr.
Wow I’ve never seen that verse before😮 Amen and let the Word of God go forth!!!! His ways are higher praise the Lord!! ❤❤❤❤
same as Matthew 5:38-42 , people like to explain it away saying that it's just about vengeance, but it's also about boldly taking offences. Hard to follow when put to the test.
I was physically harmed by someone at work. (He put a knife to my throat) I took it to court, not to "punish" but a teaching lesson. Wanted him not to actually harm or kill someone. He was a young man who got off course by deep grieve. The trial had to be rescheduled, but I dismissed it. He never harmed another person. ❤
You don't even know how much this is right now for me 😢
When we fight our battles we are our own defense. When we give the battle to God he is our defense. The Lord is a warrior and no one fights better than him. He knows how to deal with wickedness and bring it to it's knees.
Amen thank you brother God bless
Someone who was a trusted member of our congregation stole money from our church. We didn't go to the police over this and ever since we have been blessed by others who have donated generously, not just financially, but who have given us their time and expertise. Put your faith in God and he will be faithful!
Nope when it comes to abusers of any kind who call themselves Christian, report them to the authorities!
That verse you're referring to (Allen Parr), is talking about when both parties are Christians... It's not talking about when Injustice has been done to you by your enemies.
Sadly I had a Christian sister who sought advise from me about taking another Christian sister to court and I told her,don’t do it and I gave her the scripture about this but she just couldn’t obey the Word and went to court anyway!The matter didn’t get fully resolved and it brought nothing but strife between them and others!
Pride is destructive!!
I’ve been struggling with joining the Camp Lejeune water contamination class action suit.
I qualify, Dad was stationed there in 1963, I had kidney cancer growths removed in 2017, I have to decide before I become a burden on the family.
You’re correct, if I’ve been wronged, our LORD’s judgment will make all things right!
This is about Christians suing Christians, not Christians suing non-Christians (not forbidden). Grace Community Church successfully sued the State of California last year for a variety of things and a Christian man from Georgia sued the city (iirc) for religious discrimination.
@@femi32 So glad you posted this comment. I see a lot of comments about people not seeking legal justice in court with non-Christians, but that is definitely not what this passage is about.
@@alexr.3504 , thank you. A lot of people think "all" forms of injustice should be turned to the other cheek, but scripture doesn't teach that.
Funny enough yesterday at work I told my colleague from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼: Allen I don't see new videos of you lately 😊..
You're on point Pastor Allen, rare and heard teachings which has been lost from the face of the churhc longago sadly ....watching from caoe town ,south Africa 🇿🇦
God bless you!!
Accept and trust God. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
perfect timing, I was thinking of this statement,and not sure of the verse,the most cases in court are by christians saying they want justice for their grievances and yet the Bible is clear....forgive and move on.
Amen. That is the truth but I will admit that is hard to do. Jesus is Lord! Amen
Powerful. 🌞
This is really tough to hear AND accept, but the Word is clear on this, and it's taken me years to come to terms with this truth.
Wow! I never saw that and I’m so grateful I now know it’s there.
The meek shall inherit the earth…..
hurts beyond words when Christians don't handle matters according to Gods Word.
I testify 💔 ...nothing but pain, and the constant daily fight in prayer to be delivered from being captive to bitter roots and unforgiveness.
If we claim to be children of the King, we simply cannot walk about in His kingdom with sibling rivalry.
Settle the matter with the Father, and do while it is still Today, that He might be glorified.
Just accept the injustice and trust God. That's very good advice I spent years being angry over something that was stolen from me and it did me no good at all.
Makes total logic to me, something about loving enemies....
“When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? But you yourselves wrong and defraud-even your own brothers!”
1 Corinthians 6:1-8 ESV
Christ in the book of Matthew says that we should take matters to our brothers. Paul is saying that it would be better to not do that than to take them to a court of the unrighteous.
In context, this verse is about wealthy Christians suing other Christians. We shouldn’t avoid using the authorities God institutes (Rom 13:1-7) because wickedness outside the body of believers isn’t going to answer to the church. They’ll answer to God, of course, and we should always forgive, but sometimes turning someone in helps them repent. Court is expensive and lengthy, and arbitration is a much better option, but we shouldn’t just let people off the hook. They may continue and hurt someone else even worse. Forgiveness doesn’t mean ignoring.
Beautiful brother ❤️
God turns bad into good always cause God loves good and makes all things good. So injustices becomes justice, gotta have faith and patience in the LORD He’s got things in the works that we ourselves could never move or understand that’s why He says give it all to Him and if you try to doit yourself you tamper with the LORD’S work where it becomes less or blocked in Jesus Christ name Amen 🙏
wow u jus reminded me of how I use to think where did i go! thank u. the song says take me back.
So it’s like saying turn the other cheek. This is true because what people who envy’s you want is to see you hit rock bottom but if you respond to them with blessings and smile they will get more angry.
Yes and could also come to a point where they feel ashamed of themselves. That’s even worse to have to live with and a big lesson learnt 😊
My goodness it is truly sad when two children from the same father are coming against eachother in a unhealthy manner publicly I know there’s a time a place for everything and we are in positions to be representatives but we should be led by the spirit when it comes to calling out for the sake of the image of our Heavenly Father
when I practiced this verse no Christian I know agreed with my decision. It cost me greatly but my conscience was clear.
Perfect timing for that today…
Ty brother Allen 🙏🏾
God takes care of everything 😊
I almost went down the route of lawsuit against another Christian who took advantage of me financially.
But I didn't have a release to do that.
At that time, I was introduced to one of the names of God, Jehovah Saboath- the Lord of the army of the host of heavens.
I handed over the battle to my King and Defense and was able to move on. He has our backs no matter what.
Whoa! This is powerful!
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
[Matthew 16:18]
Great video sir
This is very useful advice for relationships.
Thank you
I got a story that didn't go well. My mom refused to sue a hospital because she believed it was getting revenge. They hospital killed my brother and they tried to lie and cover it up. They called her telling her your son died and he died choking on a chicken bone. We decided to get an autopsy done and then they confessed they killed him. We had a criminal trial and they got months in prison because the judge thought it was a mistake. She did not want to sue the hospital because she believed God would take care of it and she didn't want to get revenge. My mom died in. 2014 she ended up broke with no money. i felt she regretted giving up that civil lawsuit. One day she said the devil told her she should of sued them. I don't think that was the devil that told her that. I felt she should of because that is not revenge.
This is a test of pride. As believers, pride must go out the window if we are going to be believers in Christ. Easier said than done.
All “Christians” or believers In God need to read the “Old Testament” and the “New Testament” you must take the whole word of God 📖🕯️🙏
This is why the almighty God included the boom “Job” cause this shows and explains that everything will not always be “Perfect” even as children of God we still live in a “fallen world” and are subject to certain things on the physical plain.
We can pull power and protection from God via prayer but If things don’t go our way we must still worship as he is our creator and ruler of heaven and earth.
We are not promised a glorious life here on earth with no issues. We are only promised Eternal life and that he will see us through on this physical plain until the end and give his angels charge over us Psalms 91 📖🕯️
Well,sermon on the mount...Jesus says "if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well"
Paul was spot on with Jesus.
Amazing 🙏🙏
Our Lord God is just. Amen Pastor.
God said to leave everything to him . I’m going to do that and always do that .
Leviticus 24: 19-21 “an eye for an eye”
I gotta pray on this because I don’t see how God would want to just accept injustice. It just does not make sense to me
Is it fair to say that some injustices are within our control, but due to lack of discernment, we put ourselves into those situations? Every situation is an opportunity to reflect on yourself and ask God to make you wiser.
I see a lot of comments in here saying something to the effect of "I could have sued bit I didn't.". That's all well and good if that's what you decide to do (I've done that myself actually) but remember that this passage is talking about Christians suing Christians. Not lawsuits in general. If you were harmed badly by a hospital, this verse doesn't apply. If you were harmed by a job (other than a church or Christian organization) this verse does not apply. It specifically refers to Christians taking Christians to court. With that said it also doesn't COMMAND us to take non Christians to court. A non-believer can learn a lot about Christ when we are Christ to others.
Because we still have pride and ego, we still function from a soul level not the spirit level. Only a seriously prayer life gets us out of self and can allow others to think of us as fools. We want to be seen what we can do and how intelligent we are, we forgot about Jesus living through us!
