How can we be better people, (how do / did we foget about, " the PLANK in our own eye", before we try to...?

Question

You know, I have,"tried to put", some,"deep, spiritual,meaningful", questions here at this site.
I have made a lot of poor choices in life...
But I have chosen to use this site to see if there is ,"ANY HOPE AT ALL for people to WAKE UP..."
I have tried most of my life to ,"escape",from this,"reality", (my own self made reality I suppose) whether with ,"drugs, or sex", or even SCREAMING at people who I allow, to "make" me mad, hurt, upset, or angry.
Escape...it seems like all I ever wanted.
Sometimes I wonder if we were all already,"in PARADISE", with,"Who/ What" I choose to call GOD.
Whatever ,"form", you choose to believe created ,"ALL OF THIS",
You can not convince me that ,"THERE WAS NO PLAN", for "all of this".
And still I may make a spelling error, or punctuation error...I may have ,"chosen to smoke pot", or whatever...
It is my life, my choice to MAKE MISTAKES...
But then to be called,"STUPID", or "IGNORANT", by someone who ,DOES NOT KNOW ME OR MY LIFE...
I am just...

I am just wondering if it really makes people feel better to put others down who are actually trying to," OPEN PEOPLES EYES"?

Answer 1

The PLANK(Beam) is obviously LAW($in).

The other wise? It's "their part" in the "shew":
- "their part" - God is evil(law) spoken of
- "y(our) part" - God is (grace) glory-fied

It wouldn't be much of a challenge,
nor any matter of life or death either,
if the safety switch wasn't turned off,
in the biblical spiritual training course.

As for "escape" and for "no escape",
escape for "us", no escape for "them".
(see 1Thess 5:3 and 1Thess 5:9)

And "escape" is via "give more earnest heed"
http://www.godshew.org/Hebrews3.htm
to what's been said; Especially what "God said":
Let there be light(not lights, nor light + darkness),
As if declaring "the end", and "from the beginning".

Answer 2

You can be a better person and not have a great concern about having a plank or even a mote in your eye by living a life that contains a dedication to personal holiness and immediate confession of and repentance from sin when it occurs as a slip and not a willful action. That requires the power of the Holy Spirit, a thorough foundation of knowledge of God's standards as found in the written Word, and of course an attitude of humility and love for all of the other people who were created in God's image.

"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:3-7

"For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 2 Peter 1:5-7

Answer 3

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

Answer 4

great question. i give you 2 choices. spritual faith, chritian faith, comes from doing things. get a bible, a new notebook, a sharp pen/pencil, and start writing bible qoutes you find that answers a few questions, isnpires you, and gives you a feeling of connection to God. One day, you will stumble on the verse that helps you out.

choice number 2:
pray, pray, pray.

Answer 5

Just from my stand point, when I try to help someone else out, I know of my own "planks" and I let that person know that I know about it. Then I would proceed to tell them about how they and I can get that "plank removed" so-to-speak.
