(Perspective: Biblical) "For do I now persuade men, or God?"

Galatians 1:10: For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still please men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.  


No lie, Paul's writings are kinda hard to figure out sometimes.  As always, get full context:  Galatians 1:6-10.  Concerns over false teachers and them being accursed. How does one actually handle that? For another post.

Okay, but How does one know "what pleases" Christ? What does a Christian truly look like since they're still sinners and hypocrites like most people?  

Since people are failing you   Consider:  What   did  Christ  actually  do?

For one, He did break many customs and offended people (Matthew 18:6-7 Matthew 21:12-13). So, there's a start.

Jesus also hung out with the people no one else would have: Sinners, a Woman at the well. . . 

Jesus Openly stated to people their sins were forgiven. 

Jesus healed people. He humbled Himself became man, and was baptized. He also asked God to forgive those who crucified Him.  There's more: and I'll put the full quote because it's so epic:


And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

John 21:25


You can't forgive someone's sins, only Christ can, you say. Truth. But, you're told to confess your sins to one another and carry one another's burdens. We need to hear it, be in prayer, and encouraging one another. 

You can't heal anyone? Your prayers and Christ-like actions can bring spiritual healing. The wisdom passed down for physical and mental well being, all useful for aiding someone in the healing process. We have the tools and technology. Do you have the heart? And you can get baptized if you wanted.  

At times we may offend others. We may not be able to forgive sins like Jesus does, but we can reassure one another our mistakes, failings, shortcomings, are forgiven. May not be a healer, but our kind actions could be life sustaining.  Yes, we should seek to live at peace with everyone, as long as it doesn't go against Christ. His preference over people is the only hope. 

"17Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. 20“BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."


God's Peace

Respect Rules and Regulations

2 Timothy 2:5  "And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules." I find it interesting how mad people can get when a referee makes a bad call during a sporting event. I find it very interesting how angered and outraged a group of peoople will act when they're under the impression their team should have won, and lost due to rules being broken and someone failing to do their job right and make the correct call.  Many of these same people committed to these teams and their strict terms of correctness, also tend to ignore many rules of life.   I won't deny  that many rules are arbitrary, don't make sense and are designed to disenfranchise groups of people. Many are forced on people that deny your right to life.  Combat those things with respect. If it goes against your conscience which is part of you, you have the right to defend yourself. Those who are in power also are expected to lead, following rules wi...
