Lo que leemos en la Biblia tiene que ver con todos los seres humanos, sean cristianos o judíos, ateos o agnósticos, budistas, musulmanes o adherentes a alguna de las filosofías o nuevas religiones que surgen en el mundo. ¿Por qué? Ver mayor información sobre este interesante libro.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world
Amados, no creáis a todo espíritu, sino probad los espíritus si son de Dios; porque muchos falsos profetas han salido por el mundo.
Geliebte, glaubet nicht jedem Geist, sondern prüfet die Geister, ob sie von Gott sind! Denn es sind viele falsche Propheten hinausgegangen in die Welt.
Contrary to what many believe, there are absolute truths. For instance, if a wrong is committed, it doesn't matter whether the one committing the act sees it as wrong, that act has incurred a debt in the spiritual realm that has to be paid. If the wrongdoer lives long enough, he'll pay; if not, somebody will pay. And when one is in denial of this fact, he does things that carry consequences most unpleasant. Why? Because he believes it is a done deal. Pay later? That's religious non-sense to bullies. Oh, and if you think it only happens to the other guy, keep living. Life will make a believer of you.
If the bully that attacked Gabriel Taye were fortunate enough to read this and it causes him to re-think his behavior so that he actually refrains from bullying others, then that would be a good thing. He will remember, however, that his last act towards Gabriel Taye was one of meanness which can now never be erased. I doubt that anything I say in this writing will bring about a real change in the way bullying is handled in schools across the nation. It doesn't matter though, because I, along with many others don't really expect a different response from school officials/educators, some parents, the system and churches. No, make that, especially churches. Therefore, I'm appealing to 'true' christian parents, kids, Sunday school teachers, educators and friends, because as I said earlier, the wrongs done to the defenseless will come back to haunt everyone whose responsibility it was to prevent the many suicides and retaliation deaths that have occurred as a result of bullying. I can't believe we entrust our national security to people who can't see the importance in controlling our kids' destructive behavior.
To the bully, the school officials at Carson Elementary in Cincinnati, Ohio along with all of the other schools who looked the other way when it came to suicide and bullying, I repeat: It's all going to come back to haunt you.
The longer wrongs go unpunished, the stronger the denial that it will ever be pay back time. The wonderful thing about this system of reaping and sowing is that no one person or persons have to purposely plan to even the score—it'll just happen—count on it!
As a senior Life Coach who has turned around many bullies with this universal truth/law, I have little respect for those who have repeatedly allowed these injustices to claim so many lives. You, who have degrees in Divinity and degrees in Psychology and Educational degrees—shame on all of you! I believe you were either too lazy, too incompetent, or just plain didn't care about the kids who were in your charge to do anything about protecting their right to go to school, and feel safe. There is an evil plot and many of you are participants.
Now, for the Christian perspective: The Holy Bible deals with everything that will ever come up in our lives. It not only tells us the stories of actual people who lived and committed the same sins as we, but it recorded the consequences those people faced behind their sins. You may be inclined to dismiss their lives and actions, because these people lived so long ago, although I don't know what that has to do with anything. It's stupidity when we don't learn from the mistakes of others, and stubbornly go down the same path to meet the same undesired tragedies.
Therefore, I'd like to share a couple of things I witnessed in the lives of real people I knew—you know, people from 'our time period'. The first was a bedridden elderly woman confined to a nursing home where I worked. I was twenty-three at the time. I had not known the woman prior to my coming to work at the nursing home. But rumor had it that she had been in a position of authority in her younger days, and had unfairly treated/bullied people she supervised. I'm sure she wasn't thinking at the time about what life would be like for her once she reached her eighties. A few of the nurse aides knew her past and saw their opportunity to pay her back for what she had done to some of their friends and relatives. This elderly woman endured being smacked; sometimes in the face, left in her urine for hours, deprived of food and drink, and reminded of her evil deeds. Family had stuck her there and rarely came to see her. When she tried to explain how the aides were being mean to her, the few family members who visited every blue moon, chalked her complaining up to her being delirious from the medications she was taking.
Do you believe her past came back to haunt her? We live in a fallen world and bad things happen to good people. We all know that. But looking only at this particular case, you decide.
It took a lot of years for the old lady mentioned above to get hers. And yes, it came at the hands of those who deliberately sought to pay her back. But sometimes pay back comes a lot sooner and despite what misinformed people think, kids get it for their wrongdoing.
Based on true events, The Third Man by Angela Sheffield, brings the Bible up close and personal as the characters face real issues of life: Betrayal, deceit, romance, bitterness, anger against God, hopelessness, will power, perplexity, triumph, unforgiveness, mental illness, and the "Alcohol made me do it" excuse.
