a green orange is bitter and an offended brother is harsh, but the Word of the Lord is just what it needs to be

Christianity is not about telling other people that they're wrong.
But the Holy Spirit can use the Bible to reveal to you when you are.

Christianity is not about making people feel like they're always right to make them feel good no matter what
But it is about acknowledging the ultimate truth, as hard as it may be to grasp.

The Bible is not multiple choice, nor does it need your help.
When God made guidelines, commandments, and promises, He wasn't confused.

So the next time you read the Bible and disagree, just remember that it doesn't need your approval. You can tear out pages, mistranslate its points, bend the wording to make yourself feel good.

In the end, there is one solid Truth. You don't need to tell me what it is.

What's the point of following something if you're going to select just the parts you like?

Don't stop at mediocre, and don't let some personal preference keep you from Heaven.

And no, I didn't touch on any specific sins/ideologies/etc...so perhaps if you're ready to argue about one, the Holy Spirit has revealed to you it's wrong.

As mean as it may sound--get over yourself. It's not about you. It never has been. Although you are of extreme importance and there's a God out there that made the ultimate sacrifice for you and loves you, you don't get to change His Word to your liking and you need to start worrying more about things of greater importance than yourself.

Welcome to the big picture, there will be no changing it. God is sovereign, omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient.
