we all make our fair share of mistakes, that's what gives us knowledge, from that knowledge comes the wisdom and understanding as to why we did it and how to prevent it from happening again......and from all of that, comes self control Passing on that knowledge, even if it is to someone who refuses to listen to it is another way of loving your fellow man
This is a huge responsibility that, should you look around in the world today, is greatly lacking. What I have seen being taught over the years and bore witness to firsthand was a lot of Jesus this Jesus that, you'll go to hell for this, or hell for that......blah, blah, diggty dwag.....but very rarely did I ever hear a down to earth that taught me how to better myself as a person. Sure I was taught to live like Christ and given every verse to follow, but never knew how to apply it to my life. No one ever taught me that, I had to learn it on my own.
It's been a sixteen year long uphill road for this dude, and though the challenges seem to be getting a tad bit easier, the obstacles have changed greatly due to the knowledge I have attained in the last sisteen years.
It took me a long time to figure that out, and you several minutes to read it and understand it. I've posted this thread for all of you, so that you can better acquaint yourselves as to what a mistake is, what responsibilty is but most of all, how to better understand, in a very small way, what loving your fellow man. entails
I am honoured to pass what little knowledge I have about how to have that proper foundation onto all of you
though I have no scripture to back any of my claims up, I trust you already know what they are, where they are or how to find them
