Interesting. I've been thinking a lot about the "serpent" in the garden (Garden of Eden and fall of man story) and how the "jabs" resemble nothing so much as the bite of a venomous snake.

I like this story in some respects. The cattle free themselves and take the leadership.

 

I had a prophetic moment with this subject a few years ago. I was passing some cattle and realized how they are stuffed into feedlots and such and treated abominably at times. I literally shouted something like "free yourselves" or some such and within days read a story of cattle escaping in St. Louis and being moved to a farm where they would not be slaughtered.

 

Here's the story:

Are you possibly confusing who posted? I think God holds each person accountable for the "grace" they had. There are some people who have access to Bibles, churches, etc. and still end up enslaved to sin and hardened, sadly. Then there are people who observe the natural world and, correctly, recognize that they have a Creator and they see His invisible attributes and honor Him in some manner. It seems the "spirit" of a thing or person transcends our glib and simplistic understanding at times. I see people IRL who the "Christian" world would indict as immoral, degenerate, etc. and yet who manifest a love and generosity that is alien to a lot of "believers". God will judge and He is the only one who can truly judge justly because He knows everything and what is in each person.

 

I am glad I found Jesus Christ because, even with the struggles I have in this life, His mercy spared me so much more that could have happened. Assurance of salvation and eternity with Him is priceless and worth a moment of suffering here.

I think this is a serious subject and should impact the way we live. I don't think we need to be distressed with occasional negative emotions (grief for example) but I think staying in a negative state draws bad things to us. Anger and fear are ones we don't want to indulge/feed I think.

 

Have an acquaintance that has had some really bad things happen. Only thing I noticed was the person had a constant negative response to things many other people would not react to so badly.

 

For me personally, I've had to distance myself from influences that make me ineffectually angry. I've appreciated some of Tucker Carlson's stories on Fox from time to time, but need to be careful not to pay attention to things that have me "cussing" at the TV.

 

Fear was my "besetting" sin at one time, I think. When I started to get angry instead of fearful it was somewhat of an improvement. Now I want to move to a scenario where I don't remain angry at all, because it is not needed.
