The way we are

    Have you ever wondered why you find it so hard to trust anybody, even your family members and your so called Christian brothers and sisters? You are never at ease watching them handle your business or even leaving your spouse with them...Did I just hear somebody say "trust no man"...are you now making me to understand that your so called Christian brothers and sisters also fall into that category of "no man". Are they all that bad?, are they all that harmful or dangerous to relate with?...Lets go into the Bible....The Scriptures says: Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. Titus 1:15(KJV)...So, with that don't you think that your inability to trust "NOBODY" or regarding everybody as a sinner is due to the state of your own heart or conscience, or why do you think that you doubt EVERYBODY including Men of GOD.

    Let’s take that text from other Versions of the Bible which says: To the pure [in heart and conscience] all things are pure, but to the defiled and corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are defiled and polluted. Titus 1:15(AMP)...Here is another that says: Everything is clean to the clean-minded; nothing is clean to the dirty minded believers. They leave their dirty fingerprints on every thought and act. Titus 1:15(MSG). Now, let’s ask ourselves why do we classify everything anybody tells us as a lie? Hope it’s not because we too are "potential liars”? Why we always are suspicious of "every" move our spouse makes? Hope it’s not due to the fact that our own conscience too is unclean, why do we tag every Accountant a thief and every Lawyer a liar? Hope it’s not because that exactly what we too would have done if we were to be in their shoes.

    My candid advice: If we are true Christians with clear consciences, I don't really see reasons why we should doubt people unless our "spirit"- the Holy Spirit reveals the truth about the situation to us. I know the question about doubting Men of God will be burning in our hearts - Should we now believe what every Pastor or Reverend Dick, Tom and Harry tells us? due to the fact that there are various 'MEN of GOD" out there now, my take on that is quite simple..."Prove ALL things; HOLD fast that which is good".1Thess.5:21...Instead of just waving off every word of the Man of God says, why not TEST and PROVE.

    No wonder; fraudulent Businessmen find it hard to trust every other Businessman, Armed robbers and Hired Assassins trust NOBODY, Adulterous and unfaithful spouses grow suspicious about every move their spouse makes...We too, do we distrust people after testing and proving, or we just condemn them because we feel they too are just exactly the way we are...
ENJOY...
