It clearly states further on down, verse 5 in MT & verse 42 in LK, "first take the plant out of your own eye," meaning we are to become holy & pure so that, "then [when] you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." We are to help our brother when he sins to keep him accountable. It doesn't say that we are not ever to point out sin when we see it. Jesus did just that, but He was pure, holy & sinless! Didn't He say to do what He does? But we are to be in that position of holiness before we can - that was His only point in it all.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974406024006104359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7698041638490273554.post-86204913377360316322012-03-09T14:00:33.764-08:002012-03-09T14:00:33.764-08:00i heart youi heart youLinneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333442830705285496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7698041638490273554.post-86252101219921611852012-03-04T13:32:11.768-08:002012-03-04T13:32:11.768-08:00Yes, and it's getting bad.

In order for this to happen the courts will need to recognize animals as having the same rights as humans. This opens a huge can of worms and I really don't want to see that world...pbjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770156748575294172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7698041638490273554.post-71234392790095587832012-03-02T20:56:54.813-08:002012-03-02T20:56:54.813-08:00I'm looking forward to it!

I believe after the flood, God gave meat for man to use for nourishment. <br /><br />That is a powerful quote from Becky Fischer! The idea over the past 50 years has been that animal life has more importance & takes precedent over the life of man. An animal has a soul & a body, but it does not have a spirit which God gave to man alone. God had a purpose in that. We are to become the Bride of Christ. Not animals or plants for that matter.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974406024006104359noreply@blogger.com
