We all have that problem

It seems to me that The Adversary is about our human nature which is selfish and displays impatience, intolerance, and is quick to take offence and try and force our point of view and beliefs onto others

It is what it is....

The spirit on the other hand is kind, patient, humble, not talking offence and not trying to force our views and beliefs on to others

We all have different views and beliefs which we are entitled to have, and to express them.... the problems happen from our reactions to the differences

My dad died when I was 4

What I believe We shouldn’t be mixing the scriptural prophetic, allegoric things with personal things

This is when you get extremist religious people doing extremist things

we are to call Him Father for a lot of reasons.. all Good... not pleasant, but all good/ or right/eous..
the then Big Brother who been around and overcame it...... the son...a brother... but the Holy Spirit ( which is yet to be named) is to point all to Big Daddy and Big Brother for correction/ revelation and or new or old instruction...= judgement
which to most kids never looks angelic..

just like good moms do.....

he is a sweetness to those who move and change gently, to that riders gentle touches and cues ... that is true Meekness..
those people who respond like that get treated like that.. and those that will respond like that .. will rule the world..

but there is not a wilting flower around here in the whole bunch... don't fool yourselves.. you are not a wilting flower..

Indeed, it is one of the reasons that I NEVER followed extreme fundamentalist beliefs. Most of which do not make a bit of sense to someone who is able to use reasoning. And, that of having a rational mind. Which is a quality of open mindedness, not merely that of blind faith and ignorance.
