"Those which deny divine wisdom as part of their history are bound to repeat it"
Okay so I changed or added a few words to it, but did it redirect the essence of the message sent?
I guess the weight of that answer would depend on who's judging our motives.
What if our assumed motives for being where ever it is that we find ourselves from one moment to the next were "Wrong"?
What if our thought life turned out to be the seed(s) from which our actions were conceived and then given birth into this world?
How much of what we do has been prompted and continues to be directed by the voice of the Lord and how much of our thoughts have stemmed from a corrupt thought life (approach to life)?
More pointedly, who is the beneficiary of our words and actions?
If it were true, for what reason(s) would you suppose that the book of "truth" is not found here in the earth?
Why does Holy writ place truth not only at the right hand of God that also resides in Heaven? Not that truth hasn't visited us, but much like an original copy of anything thought valuable, where is such usually kept?
What if the claim is made that our implicit day to day activities as though the the NET result(s) of our being, were never informed that YOU are wrong? Who do we then blame?
Do we blame those that did NOT teach? Should the full weight of that question fall squarely on the shoulders of those that were not willing to listen?
Where is the presence of truth here in the earth and how does one search for it if it's rarely found?
In terms of accountability, "Blame" is simply a revised wording for the mismanaged potential of "Shame". It's real simple, just swap the first two letters.
Seriously though, in this world when there is no shame present, is it even possible for someone to convict themselves of a wrong? At what point does the dynamics of Shame cease to be considered a "Good" thing?
What could cause a persons reasoning to lead them into behavior which God might interpret as the "Suppression" of the truth?
How could the reasoning behind someones behavior hold out in the hope, that their perpetuated behavior would also eventually result in its acceptance?
There are times when what follows directly behind the word "Because", should be taken seriously yet only when such an inquiry has been based upon "By whose authority"?
Rom 1:18-20
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse .
NIV
What could hope to stand in opposition to the presentation and performance of the "Truth"?
What if someone were looking for a "WAY" to take the edge off of or maybe the bite out of the word "Evil"?
How might they go about it?
If being found to be "Wrong" were to interpret in the mind of a righteous God to be something that is evil, what would that assessment then "Re-define" as we go about our daily "Affairs"?
Would it redefine the inner activity of our thought life? Would that candle only be held up next to our chosen actions that we hope are also the only ones being observed?
Under that premise of constructive criticism, could holding ones peace concerning what God has to say about what is "Wrong" with us also be considered "Evil"?
Yeah, I know I can hear it now, "But who likes a critic"?
Where then does Love that only God defines and IS, come into the room as a voice to consider?
Just how deep of an examination of ones own life does that opening phrase suggest?
Especially when it's clearly understood that the essence of pride when accompanied by ignorance can become our own worst enemy?
How does one prove that they "believe" anything that's been said?
Who then becomes the center stage as if the venue of a performance which also "Proves" to be in agreement with what's been said?
What truly has the "Actor" (performer) rendered while on stage?
John 8:15-16
You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me. NIV
Is the essence of that passage written in red also your life mandate?
Revered counsel as though He is your trust worthy heavenly Father that is also willing to give a more excellent counsel that is also above what you presently might NOT be in possession of?
Firstly, how can a person ever come to know Him (or anyone for that matter) as if that part of them that is real and ALIVE that same said "being" deny's?
The part of them that desires to exist and be seen as alive, active and sharper than any two edged sword?
Jesus as the Christ (anointed savior of mankind) was and still is "The Prime Example" of a Father and Son relationship, yet what "Continues to confirm that same relationship enough to where it's is known by others to be "True"?
True enough to where that same example will prove to be "Undeniable" when everything to include our spoken words will be judged?
Food for thought or Food that has zero nutritional value?
In the event of the Life you've been "Given", the opportunity to decide who is right in everything you look to do IS part of that gift?
Always remember when considering the evidence of what God has said as to whether YOUR opinion has reflected or rejected His own words. Yet, also remember that same evidence you're hoping to present can and will be used against you if you were "Wrong".
"What does the evidence of Your life prove"?
Is God right in every instance or has any part of your performance refused to change while hoping to somehow prove "wrong" that which is said to be "Right"?
Self governance is not always the response, unless of course you hold the reigns on that which is :right.
Thank God that he didn't ask us to "Make" the Tree, but in His tender mercy He has allowed us the opportunity to become the Fruit!
Could the beginning of our story among the "Trees" have always been about which one(s) we should not eat from?
Some questions simply remain "Bound" in time which becomes our hsitory, yet know first and foremost that God requires a life as a "Being" that is being lived in such a manner that it proves Him as the only Righteous One.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.
NIV
Matt 12:33-37
"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.
You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
NIV
