A RESPONSE TO THOMAS KELLY (Religion)
You put.-"Please explain the exact logic behind the words you have translated, especially the significance of the clause beginning "because".-The tranlsation was instruction desired to help people learn how the bible may be mis-translated in parts and how it may be mis-understood. Some people need to learn duty first and not be reasoning of pleasing themselves all the time but serving others to give them what they need in any situation small or great.-People speak and type words to please themselves and have little knowledge of waiting to be spoken to and speaking to benefit others. You may learn something similar in a letter of James part of which you may read below.-James 1:19-My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,-New International Version (NIV)-http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+1&version=NIV-Can you see the serving of that ? Of doing a duty ?-The instruction was so people may use it and escape the words and actions of harmful people by their own words, silence and actions and maybe benefit harmful people.-If a person has the correct motivation and other knowledge it can be done. Part of the motivation is in Matthew 7:12 which you may read below. Repetition benefits.-So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,-"So in everything" He said, so in words to people spoken, written or typed and all the other small and great things of life.-There are right ways of doing things and sometimes a person my be convinced they know what is right but in reality they don't. And you must have the motivation of above. A person may learn some of the right ways from the bible.-As an example some people are convinced correction of people is wrong but with the motivation of Jesus's command its not. Disagreeing in order to benefit others is right and to do it with desire to win is wrong or in desiring to annoy others.-Another part of the bible may help you understand the logic. You may read two versions of it below.-Philippians 2:4 -Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.-King James Version (KJV)-http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2&version=KJV-You may have seen the word "also" in that, so not only your own things.-The other-Philippians 2:4 -not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.-http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2&version=NIV-New International Version (NIV)-You may have seen the word "but" which sometimes may show that the desire is to show that each sentence before and after the word "but" is different in purpose but in the part of the bible you may have read before this, Philippians 2:4, the purpose of each command is one and the same, to benefit everyone including yourself.-Lets compare looking on things of others, to the interests of others with the instruction of my post you asked questions about. So what does your enemy want but in reality what benefits them, correction if they do wrong. So an enemy may believe he's doing to his own benefit but you may not give him what he wants but benefit him or profit him or advantage him.-I guess may enemies by their words and actions, you may learn how after using So in everything command of Jesus of Matthew 7:12. May be judging of it is too much for me at this time to explain. Sometimes it is hard to have any knowledge of someone being an enemy. Serve people with the motivation I've advised and wait. Another part of the bible may be useful, you may read it below.-Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart.-1 Corinthians 4:5-New International Version (NIV)-http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians+4&version=NIV- You may read another part of the bible below to show you a different kind of thinking.-Do not think of yourselves as wise.-Part of Romans 12:16-Good News Translation (GNT)-http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12&version=GNT-There are many more commands in the bible in addition to the ten commandments.-Continued in next post.
