If a man were to try to help someone that's unaware of their own need for help, what "Cause" would prove itself capable enough where help actually shows up?
Rom 5:7-8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
NIV
How powerful is the word "Be-cause" in your life?
Gen 20:3
But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman."
NIV
John 16:2-4
They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
NIV
John 16:8-11
When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
NIV
Wouldn't it require the person which uses the word "Because" also need to be considered "Wise" as if they are the one teaching and because they are now being honored as if they are able to "See" more than the student being taught?
How long can it take for the words which faithfully follow behind the word "Because" to soak into the thing many refer to as our "Gray Matter"?
A relative word which also needs to come into play together with the word "because" might be "reflection"?
Reflection of what though?
Something which needs to be seen as is not presently being seen?
1 Sam 9:19
"I am the seer ," Samuel replied.
NIV
1 Chron 21:9-10
The LORD said to Gad, David's seer , "Go and tell David, 'This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.'"
NIV
When a parent wants teach their child a lesson, they try to make a matter transparent enough so the child can look into the same matter enough that they'll see the matter the way the teacher does.
Mic 7:9-10
Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the LORD's wrath,
until he pleads my case and establishes my right.
He will bring me out into the light ; I will see his righteousness.
Then my enemy will see it and will be covered with shame,
she who said to me,
"Where is the LORD your God?"
NIV
Eph 3:10-13
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
NIV
1 Peter 3:13-22
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened."
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.
Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.
He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.
In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also — not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God.
It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand — with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. NIV
Luke 18:19-20
Jesus answered. "No one is good — except God alone.
NIV
