That's a great one! Love you guys.
Very helpful advice from Hershael York. When we are accused of something, even if the person doing it has bad motives, we should still stop and ask ourselves if we have in fact been doing something wrong.
I think often in disputes between two people, each person thinks that they are partly to blame but the other person is more to blame. So each person is unwilling to apologise without the other person apologising first. And things get deadlocked.
However, as Christians we should take the first step of apologising, even if we are convinced that the other person is more at fault. Not only is that the right thing to do, but it can often lead to the other person apologising too and the tension starting to be resolved.
Yet isn't it that, there is always something you didn't do and always something you did... Perhaps then one might consider it in the aspect of darkness and light. A mild version of Darkened Eyes for example is like someone says something to someone else, they take what is said in a negative and darkened scenario versus the light of how it could be taken. Now a worse case of Darkened eyes might be when one cannot see the light and pick what they think is the lesser of two evils. (Keep in mind some do not have darkened eyes and are likely just evil/wicked) The example here is where "It's your Body your choice to kill a baby" but "it isn't your body and choice when it comes to a vaccine". Neither of these choices is of the light. This leads one to understand the state of such people as having darkened eyes, possession, and/or evil/wicked people. Scripture and Song imply as I see it, that Darkness may be removed with Prayer (Directed and General), Fasting, A Lot of Scripture Reading... You might also note the world and spiritual are likened to two or more mazes stacked on top of each other forming a lock. You are often forced into the world maze at the expense of the spiritual. Hence a wide path versus a narrow one as I see it. Of course, seek the truth of things from God and scripture regardless of source, even anything I share. God Help Us All, We all need it in abundance. I thank, praise, and acknowledge how Amazing God is after all I've seen and experienced. It certainly hasn't been easy. Bible = Truth, Christ = Truth, Who you Are in Christ, I am Israel
