Drugie dno słów Jezusa – „źdźbło w oku bliźniego widzisz, a belki w swoim nie dostrzegasz” .

I once wrote a text about it, but now I would like to add to it.

In Matthew it says:

 

Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but do not see the beam in your own? Or how shall you say to your brother: Let me take the speck out of your eye, and behold, the beam is in your eye? Hypocrite, take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

It's been a year since I wrote the text from the link above, and my view on this topic has crystallized even further.

It's not just about not pointing out flaws in others. I think Jesus wanted to show us that by looking at others, we are not doing the work within ourselves.

This is also not about not seeing evil, e.g., in the Roman church. We must discern:

"

1 Thes 5

"21 Research everythingAnd what is noble - keep it! 22 Avoid everything that has even the appearance of evil. „”

 

and even admonish them:

"

(Matthew 18:15-20)
Jezus powiedział do swoich uczniów: Gdy brat twój zgrzeszy [przeciw tobie], idź i upomnij go w cztery oczy. Jeśli cię usłucha, pozyskasz swego brata. Jeśli zaś nie usłucha, weź z sobą jeszcze jednego albo dwóch, żeby na słowie dwóch albo trzech świadków oparła się cała sprawa. Jeśli i tych nie usłucha, donieś Kościołowi! A jeśli nawet Kościoła nie usłucha, niech ci będzie jak poganin i celnik!”

So Christians have the right to admonish based on judgment.

How many Christians are super experts about other people. More than one person has written almost my psychological profile, my personality portrait with emphasis on my flaws. Yes, I have my faults, but do you know yours? Do you know your sins? Yes? And are you working on them?

Wyobraźmy sobie dwóch sportowców. Powiedzmy lekkoatletów, biegaczy. Jeden z nich jest słaby i mówi tak o innym biegaczu z zespołu “Michał Wisniewski to cienki bolek, popełnia błąd za błędem, jesteś cienki jak żyletka”. Czy ten krytyk dzięki temu będzie lepszy w bieganiu?

Let's bring this to the church. We all differ in our degree of spiritual growth and Bible seniority plays no role at all. You can read the Bible for 5 years, but someone who reads for a few months may have greater insight and have a greater root of the Word . The root of the parable of the sower.

Paying attention to others does not exempt us from working on ourselves.

So now sit down comfortably reader, take yourself a piece of paper and a pen, it can even be a pencil :-), write down your flaws if you dare.

If you don't, then you are simply a fraud before God. I don't mean my method with a piece of paper and a pen, but with a so-called examination of conscience if you have one.

Most of us have pride and I guarantee it to you. Some have less of it others have more.

Let me give you a hint. A great test of the sincerity of our Christianity is when you are dealing with someone who is rude, or at least not very nice, or just totally disagrees with you. Then you see what kind of reaction you get. Do you react with aggression? You have just been exposed as a weak Christian.

I noticed it this year after myself, so I know what I'm talking about. I also see on this blog how it works.

I suggest reading this text as a study in self-criticism:

To encourage your introspection, I will confess something to you. I struggle with bitterness because there are several people who want to destroy me and would like to see me fall. I often struggle to forgive them. I see a lot of evil in these people, but being vigilant I try to look at my faults. I know that only Jesus can deliver me from this and that is what I pray for.

Dereck Prince once said that no church condones alcoholism or smoking, but at the same time they tolerate binge eating and the spirit of gossip that is so typical of women. Gossiping about others is a great way to whitewash yourself. This one is such and such this one, and that one is such and such that one. Super recipe for whitening yourself. The devil is rubbing his hands.

To summarize:

Pracuj nad sobą, gdyż to Ty będziesz zbawiony/a lub nie. Nie wybielisz się krytyką Piotrka, Baski, Moniki…
