And Hells come back to haunt me

[StrongWaters]

I went back four pages and could not find the question. Ask again and I would be glad to answer with no scripture this time.

It was in the post you were responding to:

Why do you have to ask for god to open eyes? Why would god not make his word perfectly plain and clear?

Did you teach your children in riddles and mystic symbols and then punish then with death if they don't understand and obey? No? Well why would anything but a most evil god do differently.

Why do you have to ask for god to open eyes?

---It's a treasure. The slave is the one who opens the pegmatite in the mine. The King is the one who sends him to the labor. In Hebrew culture, the Guardian was assigned to the land owner's Son to oversee him working the land. It was a way to teach the son through hard labor. When the Son comes of age, he is the new land owner, read to oversee the entire property.

Galatians 3

23 Before the coming of this faith,[j] we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The Law is your Guardian here, like I am doing for you. It requires toil for food (Knowledge). I have already toiled. I am trying to show you how to work in the field. Bearing fruit is the point for the good of the family overall.

Why would god not make his word perfectly plain and clear?

--- It is clear if you are a son working the field. Some sons refuse the labor. To busy I guess.

Did you teach your children in riddles and mystic symbols and then punish then with death if they don't understand and obey?

---I train them up in the way that they should go. Later, they will not depart from it. When my oldest was 4, I taught him to read. When he could read, I had him read Confucius sayings at bedtime. I had him tell me what they meant. Most times, he was off. Many times, he showed me aspects I had not seen myself. When he entered school, he could already think abstract. He has a 34 on the ACT and a full scholarship to the top engineering school in the nation. It will cost me $0.

No? Yes.

Well why would anything but a most evil god do differently.

I pattern my own fatherly love after the one I have have above. It's a good plan.

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”
― Confucius

Experience is the key. Confucius said, "I hear and I forget. I see and I learn. I DO and I understand."

That was one of the first quotes I asked my sons to help me understand. From there, I engaged this into practice with them both. I have taught them that suffering for the good of others is the only way to DO.

James 1

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Experience is only bitter until you decide to change what you see. The perfect law gives freedom. Do unto others. DO. Give.

Until then, Hell comes back to haunt you. What you do not master masters you.
