Discernment

"I saw with my own eyes and heard with my ears." Nobody can go against so strong an argument. This very convinced that he was a witness and not for less, or maybe yes?

The truth is that our natural senses are not foolproof, so I think it is a great virtue on adding to them the ability to "see" even beyond them. That what we reveal our natural senses is not the ultimate truth in many cases is true, it is very important and having the ability to discern.

The particularity of that book he stands out among others. Despite having been written long before his birth ... "The expectation of the Messiah in Isaiah is so strong that Jerome, ad Paulinum, calls his book is not prophecy, but Gospel of Isaiah and says:" There is both a prophet and an evangelist "Comments Jamieson Faussett Brown

The book of Isaiah is known for its abundant references to Christ, and one reads of him: Isa 11:3-4 RV1960 (T) ... Do not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears, (4) but with righteousness shall judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth ...

In the verses of this chapter Christ is presented as a judge, but as one who can understand things beyond their natural senses, allowing you to judge with justice and defending the right of the needy. This discernment, I believe, which is very useful to man in his whole life and so these words.

Discernment can be defined as the ability to distinguish one thing from another, and adding the above concept, even beyond what it seems.
Jesus showed this quality in his life: Jua TLA 2:23-24 While Jesus was in the city of Jerusalem during the Passover feast, many believed in him because they saw the miracles he did. (24) But Jesus did not trust them, nor need to be told anything from anyone, because everyone knew them and knew what they were thinking.

The natural way Jesus spoke of popularity but had the ability to separate things. In this case separated the fleeting emotions of sincere faith.

At another time it happened that ... Mat 22:15-22 TLA One day, the Pharisees got together and decided to put a trap for Jesus to say something bad. (16) sent some of his followers, along with some supporters of Herod, so they said to Jesus, "Teacher, we know you always tell the truth. You will teach people that they must obey God in everything. You do not care what anyone says about your teaching, because you do not speak to get along with them. (17) now tell us what you think: Is it OK to pay taxes to the emperor of Rome, or not? (18) But Jesus knew that they had bad intentions, he said: - hypocrites! Why do you put a trap? (19) Show me a coin used to pay the tax. Then they brought her a silver coin (20) and Jesus asked: - Who is the image that is on the coin? Who is the name that is written? (21) They replied: 'Of the Roman emperor. Jesus said, "Then give him the emperor is the emperor, and to God what is God's. (22) The Pharisees were astonished to hear the answer, and left.

The words were sweet but the intentions were bitter, and that Jesus knew discern.

The Bible presents Jesus not only as having this ability to "unbundle" things even beyond appearances, so the believer is encouraged to exercise it. Some examples are:

-in ourselves: 1Co 11:31 DHHe (D) If we were to examine it ourselves, the Lord would not have to punish us,

Some are so drunk on their natural senses by the success or the pride that they are unable to separate what really are before God, of what they think before Him careful, we use discernment but first and foremost in ourselves to judge with justice firstly, our own heart.

-in preaching or teaching that we hear: 1Co 14:29 BNP case of prophets speak two or three, and others must judge.

Some fill our eyes with their looks and gestures, others our ears with his oratory, yet what we hear is not always good. Discerning education beyond what they perceive our natural senses deliver us from being deceived by the many who today speak without knowing what they say.

-in the Will of God: Eph 5:17 Therefore BNP are not reckless, but rather seek to understand what the will of the Lord.

The dictionary defines Tuggy Greek words "understand" how to discern, perceive, realize (G4920). Paul is calling the church at Ephesus to achieve discern, separate, what really is the Will of God than not. For this lot would have to say because most twisted things have been justified by arguing that it was the Divine Will. Suffice it here only a warning: not everything that is said to be God's will really is. Be careful lest our own passions are blurring our perception and if we can not separate what is human will which is Divine.

It is at this point ask the question: how can I get the ability to discern?.
The answer is simple: God.

God appears to King Solomon and says "ask me anything you want. This was what he asked: 1 Kings 3:9-12 BNP Teach me to listen to govern your people know and discern between good and evil, if not, who can govern this thy so great people? (10) the Lord that Solomon was fine with that request, (11) and said ... (12) will give you what you asked for: a mind wise and prudent, as there was none before or will come after you.

He asked for discernment and God granted it.

As a fair judge, Christ will separate truth from falsehood, the just and the unjust, the unclean clean, and that beyond appearances.

So we, through discernment to separate things succeed in ourselves and in others. Is there words we heard that enclose different reasons, one eye appears to self-sufficiency that is a cry for help, in some cases tears are not sincere.
Great virtue for anyone who aspires to grow in his humanity is to not be caught in the deception and to "see" beyond what your eyes see and ears hear. On one side will escape the trap hidden and the other will be more effective in understanding and helping those in their need, crosses his path.

Unchanging God

Some things happen and others that remain. Collect confidence in what is passing is not good but when we rest in what is immutable things are different.

God is unchangeable and who put their trust in Him will find great profit when what now seems firmly morning let it be.

A man from the Bible called Isaiah lived in very special times where we gave him security and uncertainty collapsed won the hearts of all by the things that lay ahead.
It is during these times of doubt, transition and uncertainty, this man has a vision. Vision that reveals to their eyes that is what does not change, that's what does not collapse, which is what remains firm despite the circumstances. This man had a vision of the Throne of God: Isa 6:1-4 KJV In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and the hem of his robe filled the temple. (2) Above him were seraphs. Each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, with two he covered his feet and with two he flew. (3) The one claimed the other saying: - "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts! The whole earth is full of His glory! (4) The doorways were shaken by the voice of one crying, and the temple was filled with smoke.

Unlike what was happening on earth, the glory of God was not clouded by uncertainty. Isaiah could doubt about the future of their nation, but never have reason to believe that at some point God would cease to be who he is.
Many things are today and gone tomorrow, but who is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end will be for eternity.

Understanding the historical moment is key to understanding the vision. He says it was the year that King Uzziah died. The question is, what this meant for them?

On one side was the end of a good period of rule over the people. "In the year 740 BC, the death of King Uzziah (6:1) ended a golden age in which both Judah and Israel had enjoyed 50 years of respite to be free from large-scale attacks. Soon would be only a memory. "XXI Century Bible Commentary, Is.6: 1

Does the new king would continue with the successful decision of its predecessor, extending the good times on the nation?

Moreover, the king's death and also locked up many unknowns that was because of his disobedience to God's laws in the last moments of their días.2Cr 26:16-21 KJV When Uzziah became strong, his heart was lifted up corrupted. He acted with trespass against the Lord his God and entered the house of Jehovah to burn incense on the altar of incense. (17) Azariah the priest went in after him, and eighty priests of the Lord with him, brave men. (18) These were made against King Uzziah and said to him - not up to you, oh Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but to the priests the sons of Aaron who are consecrated for this! Exit the shrine, because you've done wrong! This will not help you with glory before the Lord God! (19) But Uzziah, who was in his hand a censer for burning incense, was enraged. And angry at the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, in the presence of priests in the house of Jehovah at the altar of incense. (20) Azariah the high priest and all the priests looked, and behold, he was leprous forehead. So I did go out of there quick. The same hurried out, because Jehovah had smitten him. (21) King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. Being isolated leper dwelt in a house, because he had been excluded from the house of Jehovah. His son Jotham was in charge of the house of the king and ruled the people of the earth.

What would the impact on people and their offspring this madness? How would this sin before God on the nation?

And finally, this was a time when the horizon of humanity is beginning to see the dark clouds of invading armies.
TLA Isa 5:26-30 "God calls a distant nation to attack his village. The soldiers of that nation soon attend his call. (27) are strong and not tired, are always alert and ready for war. (28) "They have already prepared their bows and arrows have been sharpened. The hooves of their horses are hard as rocks the wheels of their chariots advancing rapidly. (29) Troops launch war cries, ferocious lions seem to drag the prey and carry it, nobody can remove the! (30) At the right time, that nation will attack Israel with the strength of a stormy sea. Then the earth will be enveloped in darkness and daylight will be lost among dark clouds. Israel will be very anxious! "

"The rest of the century would be dominated by the voracity of the Assyrian kings: Tiglath-pileser III (745-727), Shalmaneser (727-722), Sargon II (722-705) and Sennacherib (705-681). His ambitions were reduced to simple looting empires but to form and to achieve their ends removed entire populations rennet taken captive and punishing the slightest sign of rebellion and horrific immediate retaliation. " XXI Century Bible Commentary, Is.6.1

The time when King Uzziah died was a time of uncertainty, doubt, a time where there were more questions than answers, and in the midst of uncertainty, Isaiah saw Him who is strong and that never changes.

One of the attributes of God is His immutability, ie that he does not change with time or circumstances. He is, was and will always who he is.
Heb 1:10-12 BL95 ... You, Lord, in the beginning put the earth on its foundations, and the heavens are the work of your hands. (11) They go away, but you remain. They will be for you as an old garment "(12) doubles as a cape, and changes. But you are always the same and your years will never end.

Other passages say about God:
Jas 1:17 RV1960 (T) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, the Father of lights, in which there is no change or shadow of change. (also see Numbers 23.19)

TLA Heb 13:8-9 Jesus Christ never changes is the same yesterday, today and forever. (9) So do not take heed of strange teachings, which have nothing to do with what Jesus Christ taught us. ...

The year that Uzziah died uncertainty ruled the heart at least of Isaiah. This is how God wants to give a vision that this man could feel safe, not on earthly things that happen, but in Him who is immutable, unchanging, which is always the same.

What is the purpose for us today?

Many are dominated by uncertainty and in some cases it's okay to do so. Many things that are strong today may be gone tomorrow. The security of a relationship, a bank, a protection system, maybe not tomorrow. The strength of a current of thought, whether political, philosophical, scientific, maybe tomorrow is no longer such. Many things change and make them the foundation of a life can be fatal.

However, some people do not change, or who is, or what they feel, or what they have spoken. And make it the foundation of our lives gives us security and stability in a world that is continually shaking to the rapidly changing circumstances that arise daily.

Heb 6:18-19 TLA Now, as God does not lie, its promise and his oath can not change. It comforts us because we want God to protect us, and we trust that he will give us what was promised. (19) This gives us confidence in safety, is like a boat anchor, that keeps it firm and still in the same place ....

"We are in this world like a ship at sea, tossed up and down and in danger of sinking. We need an anchor that keeps us safe and strong. The hope of the gospel is our anchor in the storms of this world. It is safe and firm therefore could not otherwise keep well "Bible Commentary Matthew Henry, Heb.6 :11-20

Little foxes

In the beginning of a true love story everything is perfect. And I could go on to be attentive to the little things that get peeled off the gloss off the relationship.

That promising start is true, but so is that we neglect the details and little things that we would ultimately only lead to failure. Be careful of these and fight them is what I wake up with these words.

A highly contested book in the Bible is that of Solomon. This poem expresses Eastern expressions of love between the bride and groom, which some understand that it can be seen as an allegory about Christ and his Church.
Says one of its passages: 2:4 RV1960 Cnt (T) He took me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.
This God has called us to have a relationship based on love with him, but this is something we should care.

Many things we can not understand God, but if something can be sure of is his love.
Eph 2:4-5 NIV But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love for us, (5) made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in sins. By grace you have been saved!

Our relationship with God is restored through faith in Christ. But this way of salvation is unshakable foundation's love, selfless, and undeserved. Without denying his justice, which moves He is love.
TLA 1 John 4:9-16 God showed his love by sending Jesus to the world his only Son, that through him we all have eternal life. (10) True love is not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son, that we were forgiven through his sacrifice. ... (16) We know and believe that God loves us, because God is love. ...

Enjoyed by faith in Christ in this relationship of love, and as the spring is a symbol of life, so the soul and entire being reborn who trusts in him a new life expectancy. Cnt 2:10-13 NIV My beloved said to me: "Arise, my love, come on, honey, come on. (11) Look! The winter has passed and with it the rains are gone. (12) have already sprouted flowers in the field, it is now time to sing, and heard in our land the cooing of doves. (13) and the fig tree has figs, and vines spread their fragrance ....

Everything looks different for whom the "winter" has passed and new life in Christ has come. Such are the benefits of having a loving relationship with the Heavenly Father. But as in all loving relationships are important details.
At one point they said NBLH 2:15 Cnt "Grab the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vineyards are in bloom."

The vines were in bloom was a good sign that the harvest would come in time. The heart is filled by the good hope and spirit is renewed with the sweet aroma that loads the atmosphere. Everything speaks of happiness, good, but they were those little foxes that could bring sadness over what today was joy.

These little foxes are a symbol of those little things we allow into our lives, our marriage, our family, which eventually will bring pain and frustration to the relationship, and that too with God.
"... He calls for anything that might spoil the relationship (the little foxes) is caught and confronted, no matter how small it may seem. Their mutual love should be pure and unadulterated. It is blooming beautifully, what terrible if something came to spoil the flower! "twenty one century Bible Commentary, Cant.2: 15

Small things can hurt a lot and best is to fight hard against them. Ecclesiastes 10:1 TLA The best soup is ruined if you get a fly. The least stupid spoiled your reputation for wisdom.

There is a purpose to all this and is to remain vigilant to be allowed to enter those "little foxes" that will bring a shadow of sadness on where the sun shone before harmony.
"This is for your wedding or your engagement?, I'm glad. But my interest is mainly to think about your relationship with God.
Psalm 139:23-24 RV1960 (T) Search me, O God, and know my heart Try me and know my thoughts (24) See if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

The funeral

jueves, 24 de septiembre del 2009 a las 01:14
There are places that are fruitful source of life lessons and rarely have such high esteem. There are places that have a high impact in that it is wise but a stupid pass by like nothing.

One such place that can lead us to think and grow to correct, is that where a funeral is conducted.

Says a Bible verse in the book of Ecclesiastes: Ecclesiastes 7:2 NIV Better is to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, because that is the end of every man, And the living will reflect in his heart.

"Just as the inner character is more crucial than the outer fragrance, and the lessons of a funeral is more instructive than the lessons of a birthday party. The funeral can lead us to think about life, but the party probably will not will. In this sense, the heart amendment, ie enables our innermost thoughts make real assessments. "Ventiuno Century Bible Commentary, Ecl.7 :1-6

It is not morbid but of reflection. Many things we learn in the house of mourning, and all of them, for the wise, are rich lessons for the present.

One of the things that we find a funeral is how I loved him, and this has to do with the character. No mystery, which is sown is harvested. Whoever lives sowing hatred, resentment, fights, indifference, is just that what you reap. But he who is compassionate, forgiving, loving, interested, generous, someone who will reap this very heart of those around him.

Assess the nature of the deceased and see how many reached for good, should make us reflect on ourselves and see what kind of impression we are recording in the hearts of those around us.

Another lesson has to do with those who were truly loved him, and this goes through we estimate the other. It is not the first time given the need to help those who are faithful are precisely those that we despised. Surrounding yourself with people who are not what they seem or feel is very common, as is the scorn to which if they are sincere and genuine with us.

More than once I learned of children looked down upon by their parents compared with others of his new partner, but when sick children were those who were despised him. Learn to surround yourself with the right people is a great virtue and this too can learn at a funeral.

Finally, a funeral can learn about priorities. When we read a history book is easy to see the successes and mistakes because in a few pages can see the summary before, during and after in certain situations. The information we collect is much larger than if we were stuck in the story itself.
Similarly at a funeral is like reading the history book of the deceased, and in this broader perspective we can evaluate whether their priorities was correct.
Was it worth living so worried about money? Worth neglecting both the family? Worth living a life of debauchery?. These and other insurance questions may find answers to "read" in the history of the deceased and bring light on the priorities that we ourselves have adopted.

Says another verse from Ecclesiastes: Ecclesiastes 8:8 TLA Nobody has as much power as to avoid death and live forever. In the battle between life and death, no one is spared, not even the wicked.

Death is something universal to all human beings, we all reach even today we do not like thinking about it. But it is wrong to think about death, not in a morbid sense but to make changes just to get a better quality of life. Nor is it bad to think of it as preparation for eternity but we'll talk later.

"Many people avoid thinking about death, does not want to face it and is reluctant to attend the funeral. Solomon is encouraging us not to think morbidly, but knows that it is sometimes useful to think about death. It reminds us that we still have time to change, time to examine the direction of our life and time to confess our sins and find forgiveness from God. Because all eventually die, it makes sense to plan ahead to experience the mercy of God rather than face their justice. "Every Day Life Bible Commentary, Ecl.7: 2

The power of sisterhood

miércoles, 23 de septiembre del 2009 a las 00:33

There is a power which, unfortunately, many unknown and is the power of brotherhood. We have not been designed for solitude but to forge bonds of comradeship and brotherhood, where we can find and provide assistance to all areas of the human being.

Loneliness, for whatever reason, is not good and who make it their lifestyle will experience soon. What is good and necessary to forge bonds of brotherhood is the purpose of these words.

At one point the author of the book of Ecclesiastes reads: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 RV1960 (T) Two are better than one, because they have good reward for their work. (10) For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow: but woe to myself! when falls, there will be second to lift him up. (11) Also, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? (12) And if a man prevail against one, two resist him and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

"There are advantages to cooperate with others. Life is not designed for isolation, but for companionship, not for solitude, but for intimacy. Some people like the isolation because they feel they can not trust anyone. However We are not here on earth to serve ourselves, but to serve God and others. Do not isolate yourself from others or try to go it alone. Locate classmates, is a member of a team, "Every Day Life Bible Commentary, Ecl.4 :9-12

These verses can be summarized by saying: "Two are better than one ...", and that is the purpose of these words.

In the course of life we will find more of an obstacle, more of a challenge. Be the pass a test or project to have no doubt it will be much easier if we are not alone.

The apostle Paul, imprisoned in Jerusalem, must undertake an arduous journey to Rome after a long time in captivity. Many were the difficulties and succeeded more than once strong in the Lord, but he did not escape the pleasing power of companionship and brotherhood. Acts 28:15 RV1960 (T) whence, hearing of us brothers, came to meet up the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns, and seeing them, Paul thanked God and took a breath.

Two are better than one, and not just by what we get but by what we give. One example we have two young, Jonathan and David. TLA 1Sa 18:1-4 Saul and David did not leave to return home, but kept it near him, so that Jonathan became close friends with David. Jonathan loved him so much that since that day, he swore he would be friends forever, for he loved him as himself. (4) As proof of their friendship, Jonathan gave David his clothes prince, with his bow and sword, complete with a belt.

Jonathan and David forged such a bond of brotherhood that the former did not hesitate to give David the right to be king over Israel, and even their very lives put at risk by his friend because of the follies of Saul, his father.

Two are better than one, and this concept of brotherhood is so important that God made him part of the philosophy of the Church. Rom 12:15-16 NIV Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. (16) Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but please at the level of the humble. Do not assume wise.

This union of wills, that search for harmony, is the definition of brotherhood.

"Two are better than one", life becomes easier when we break to voluntarily isolate and work to build and strengthen brotherhood.

Gal 6:2 TLA When difficulties come to help each other. That is the way to obey the law of Christ.

Eternity in the heart

domingo, 20 de septiembre del 2009 a las 19:52

How did life? Why I exist? What's in the future?, Is that man can not stop doing these kinds of questions. It seems that we can not resist projecting our thoughts beyond our earthly existence, and so we were designed.

The idea of time is deeply rooted in who we are as human beings, and it motivates us to search for answers, answers that today I want to tell you have to do with God.

He says a passage from the Bible: Ecclesiastes 3:11 RV1995 He did everything beautiful in its time, and has put eternity into man's heart without this scope to understand the work done by God from the beginning to the end.

What is this "eternity" that God has placed in every human being? It is this force that leads you to seek answers to questions that go beyond your existence.

"Eternity: probable translation of a Hebrew word which conveys the idea of infinity or, more accurately, the time is extended indefinitely into the past and future. This most probably refers to the human ability to grasp with the thought all the past and future events, and the irresistible desire to understand its meaning and why. " Notes RV.1995, Ecl.3: 11

On a quest to understand the why of things and their meaning, mankind has roamed, and still does, by the strangest ways, but the answer is a single, the answer is Jesus.

How did life? What led to everything that exists? What was the beginning? Why?. These kinds of questions we would say is common to the entire humanity, in the minds of every human being. But are these the only, but we also do this kind of question but with a more personal, why I am I on earth? "What is my purpose? Where do I go

Our thoughts are not satisfied with our present, but everyone at some time in meditation we have ventured beyond the borders of our own existence.

God has put this concern in the human heart because you are interested to seek the answer and that answer is Jesus.

The Bible says Col 1:16 TLA Through him, God created everything in heaven and on earth, which can be seen and what is not visible, and powerful spirits who have dominion and authority . In a nutshell: God created everything through Christ and for Christ.

The how, who and why, that men are, both as to the existence of everything that exists in his last appearance as the future, and as to his personal existence, pointing to one place: God. Want answers to him leaving aside the biggest failure is that man can engage.
"A man finds God behind every door that science is able to open" Albert Einstein

God has put this feeling that moves us in the search for answers, answers that will only put your eyes on Him
The Bible says that: Col 2:8-10 RV1960 (T) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (9) For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead, (10) And ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power.

In that quest we filled philosophies, thoughts, theories, seeking the answers but alienated from God. Everything is created by Him and for Him, so He is the man find the answers to their deepest meditations.

What is the purpose of these words?. It is certainly not argue against science. It is the purpose raise concerns about a change of approach.
Many, and at all levels, have struggled to find answers but leaving God aside, when in fact the past, present and future, both the universe and the individual man has to do with him

There is someone that gives meaning to human life and yours too, and that person is God. RV1960 Romans 11:36 (T) For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

"In the final analysis, all depend entirely on God. He is the source of everything, including ourselves. It is the power behind the world's laws in which we live. And God accomplishes all things for the glory of the same. The Almighty God deserves our praise. "Every Day Life Bible Commentary, Rom.11: 36

Say what Bible say

viernes, 18 de septiembre del 2009 a las 19:23

The Bible is a book full of wisdom and revelation. Not in vain some spoke of him as a torch that lights the way of man, so we would do well to meditate on and share their wealth with others. It is precisely in this that sometimes we fail, not because we do not open our mouths to communicate, but because to do so, we say that says things that does not really say.

Not just preachers or teachers are exposed to this error, also all those, saying Christians share with their neighbors, colleagues or family.
Realizing that God does not take lightly such a mistake is the reason for these words today.

A passage in the closing chapters of the book of Proverbs in the Bible reads: TLA Pro 30:6 Add thou not unto his words any idea of yours, because you can chide and show you're a liar.

Add, increase, increase, are ideas that point the mistake many times to share the biblical message with others. God is not willing to tolerate this for which we would do well to heed what we say His Word says.

One of the characteristics that the Bible defends itself is its purity. RV60 Pro 30:5-6 Every word of God is pure; ... (6) Do not add to his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

The author draws on what was the smelting of those times to remove impurities from them. By saying that the word of God is pure meaning it is no impurities in it, nothing to subtract their value. And adopting a precious material after being melted and refined, so the word is approved by its purity. Pro 30:5 RVG (R) Every word of God is pure ... Pro 30:5 The words of God BL95 pass any test, NBJ ... Pro 30:5 Every word of God is guaranteed; ...

The same concept were men of the New Testament: 1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes BL95, look for the unadulterated milk of the Word and enabled him to grow and achieve fulfillment.

I know that some teach that it could be said of the original manuscripts but not what we now know as Bible. The truth is that while we have these original manuscripts, archeology has uncovered thousands of manuscripts, some as old as the first century, which reveal that there has been no substantial change in the biblical text. Therefore, I believe that what we now know as the Bible remains the "spiritual milk" of which Peter spoke.

Being this good under the biblical counsel, fidelity in communication will be very important for the good of mankind.

The question we can do here is: why someone would add to the biblical message?
The answers may be:
a) by ignorance.
TLA Acts 18:24-26 At that time arrived in the city of Ephesus, a man named Apollo. It was the city of Alexandria, and to convince people he knew in his words, he knew much of the Bible. (25) Apollo also knew enough about Jesus, and spoke with enthusiasm to the people and explained very well what they knew about Jesus. However, only knew the baptism which John the Baptist had taught. (26) One day Apollo, confident in their knowledge, started talking to people who were in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, called him aside and helped him better understand God's message.

b) misread
2 Peter 2:10-12 NIV The Lord will punish especially those who are impure desires and despise authority. They are stubborn and daring, and are not afraid of insulting the higher powers, (11) Instead, the angels, but have more strength and authority, they dare not from the Lord, to condemn insults to these powers. ( 12) These men are like animals: they have no understanding, they live by instinct, born only to be caught and killed. Speak evil of things they do not understand, but die in the same way that animals,

c) proudly declare anything, but God is not that will happen.
RV60 Jer 23:31-32 says the Lord: Behold I am against the prophets that use their tongues and say, He said. (32) Behold, saith, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, and the count and make my people err by their lies and by their lightness, and I have not sent them nor commanded them and any profit made to this people, saith the Lord.

The Word is still pure and perfect, without impurities I think that what we should worry about is faithful in keeping us in communication from her, because I think that some have ceased to be to become just a simple lie.
2 Timothy 2:2 RV60 What you heard from me among many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will be able to teach others also.

Purity of intent

That appearances deceive is a great truth. Some people by their deeds seem great humanity, but their real intentions, which are hidden to the human eye, revealing a totally different.

What is done or said is not always an accurate reflection of the individual as the intentions may be of a different spirit. The reveal that this is not hidden at all is the purpose of these words.

He says a passage from Proverbs: Pro 21:2 PDT Each believes that what is good, but the Lord is the judge's true intentions.
We can always prove us right, the matter is that if those who judge our works also will give us.

He says that verse :"... the Lord is the judge ...". The Bible reveals that one of the things that happen to all men is to be reviewed and judged by God. Rom 2:15 TLA ... The good news that I announce teaches that God will judge all mankind through Jesus Christ. On that day, God will judge even the most secret thoughts.

The other thing that this passage of Proverbs reveals that man is justified in itself which at times is unjustifiable, "Everyone believes that what is cool ..."

We say we have any reason to madness is now, I cite one example of certain currents of thought in Jesus' time on the causes by which they could give, pr example, divorce :"... The school of Hillel held that could mean "anything that displeased her husband, for example, spoiled food dish, if you walked around the street, if he talked to a stranger, if I spoke without due respect for the relatives of her husband if he was a brawler. "The latter is defined as" that she could be heard in the house next door. "Rabbi Akiba went so far as to say that a man could divorce his wife if he found another more beautiful." Commentary on N.T. William Barclay, Lc.16 :14-18

The latter has to do with the sincere. He says the proverb we read: RV60 Pro 21:2 Every way of man is right in his own opinion, but the LORD weighs the hearts.

We say to be right where we do not have, and this often not through ignorance but to give vent to the passions of our heart. Better would be to recognize what we truly are so that we are not misled about the "verdict", not surprise us if it is not what we expected. And because maybe in that honest with ourselves, let the steps to change that, when examined, we are approved.

Paul said of himself: TLA 2Co 1:12 We are pleased that we have behaved well, and we've been honest with everyone, especially you. We were not guided by our own wisdom but with God's help, and thanks to his great love.

"The purity of action may be difficult, but the purity of intention is even more. Only when we have such purity can say with Paul that our old self is dead, and Christ lives in us" Commentary on the NT William Barclay, 2Cor1 :12-14

The point is that we can give many reasons for what we do but, when we will be judged ,...¿?

Today is spoken against fundamentalism and discrimination. What we should not forget is that there is who is Judge of all mankind and his trial will conform to His laws and not ours. What is this? Which has revealed in the Bible.

12:46-48 Jua RV60 I, the light, I came into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. (47) He who hears my words and believe not, I judge him not here to judge the world, but to save the world. (48) He who rejects Me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
