A letter to a friend that I wrote on another forum who thinks it is okay to be rude because he thinks that Jesus was rude sometimes

And he gave these next 2 verses as an example .

"But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"

"[Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"

David , check this out , I've said this before on this site , I believe , and if it was somewhere else ...

I was a serpent , I was a viper , I was lost , and it is the damnation of hell that brought me to my knees . I would still be out there living it up if it still made me feel good , sad but true . those of us that were born more evil then good started out our lives really enjoying the flesh (drugs , porno , whoring ,alcohol , stealing , cheating , gambling . There are many more fleshy carnal things then what I listed here ) And then life surely gets real complicated and your world begins to fall apart for many reasons (failed relationships , addiction , guilt ,
shame , jail , homelessness , isolation , hopelessness , cynical-ism , depression , and so many more ) and to make things even more hellish , we are all born with the seed of Christ , and duality and the powerlessness to change is so profound . That is the damnation of hell , at least it was for me . And damnation of hell will manifest itself differently to different personalities , even Pharisees and Sadducees !! It is the damnation of hell that will bring you to your knees . So my point is this , that when Jesus said that to the Pha. and Sad. , He really was heaping blessings on them !!! When you understand that being brought to your knees is only the starting point to a much Higher life . Last night a verse came to my mind that I never truly understood , and it may mean something different to someone else and it may mean a lot more to me later in my life when revisited , it is this "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." For a long time I was not even aware that I held anger and hurt and hate and resentment toward God for all the damnation of hell that I suffered at the hand of all those character and defects I listed and the suicidal pain that I felt for decades . It was not until I fell to my knees and started to listen to Gary Sigler , 1 and a half year ago , and started to believe in God and focus on the seed of Christ in me without feeling separated from Gods Love , even when I still fell occasionally and low and behold threw the Grace and Love of God IN MY HEART , all of these habits which I mentioned before and more have dissipated gradually , while plenty more still remain(which I won't list here, hahahaha). And it was not by works either , nor by power but by His love in my heart that simply(miraculously) filled the void , the cup that was soooooooooo empty .And it was not until last night when He gave me that verse that I became aware that I had come to a place in my life where I am letting go of all the pain and it is being replaced by me saying what Paul said "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. And yes I am becoming strong !!! And thankful for ALL I endured , it brought me to my knees and that brought me to Jesus . The pain of birth is over !!!!!!!!!!!!
Now can you understand David why Jesus was never rude !!!!!!!!!!
And I believe , I really do, that we will come to a place where we can communicate with each other with a purer language that the translation of the bible is not able to convey . And coming of rude will play no part in perfect love . BTW , I was and still on occasion one rude SOB . But I now know beyond the shadow of a doubt that He who began a work in me will finish it !!!!!!
