Shrewd as a snake and as Innocent as a Dove

Matthew 10:16 "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves."

MT 10:17 "Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local councils and flog you in their synagogues. 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you."

No Answers.....Whose Attitude?

Hi Everyone,

If you, the reader, have linked to this forum from our homepage, and if you have taken the time to browse through the rather simple articles posted on our home page, you will notice that the Tzaddikim have a rather unique perspective on Law and Grace.

When you open to this forum, you will notice immediately that this is a Sacred Names Forum. So, the common or pagan names are used by the Tzaddikim on our home page, but while we write on this forum, we use almost exclusively the Sacred Names. This is by design.

As you browse through the forum, you will notice that there are some who post here that are adamantly opposed to the New Testament and traditional Christianity. They are welcome here. As you read what they write, you will notice that they do encounter champions who are very skilled in opposition. Old Shepherd is one such champion. I call him "Sir". There are few that I respect more. "Sir" you will notice is often jousting with Stranger. They fight in earnest with each one defending with vigor their perception of the Truth. I have learned from both of them, and I am very appreciative of the effort that they work into their arguments.

All who have been led by the spirit of YAH to participate on internet forums over time cannot help but to become thankful for the amount of time and effort that we see expended on our behalf by those we encounter. All have a point of view. All have lines in the sand. All have something to contribute. All have an agenda. Some are more experienced and knowledgeable. Some are just learning. The great thing about teaching is this: What has taken you a lifetime to learn can often be communicated to the disciple in a matter of moments. That is indeed humbling when you reflect on it. One must have humility in order to be a good teacher. To be a good teacher, you must first listen, and then you must respond in some fashion to the criticism and questions that are asked of you.

Now, as far as I know, answering is not an exact science. As it is written:

Eccl 3:7
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; (KJV)

So, no one should be required to answer. However, what father, whose son or daughter is asking, "why, daddy?", would not respond with even the shortest of answers even if that answer should be, "Not now, son, but later when I get back home from work."?

So, if you believe that you possess the truth, then be willing to take the time to teach us as a father patiently teaches his children when asked to do so. If you will not answer our questions and objections, then chances are you have not considered and neither do you trust this scripture:

Prov 16:1
1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from (the) YAHWEH. (KJV)

If YAH gives you answers, does YAH not expect you to express them? If you do not, then you proclaim what is really in your heart!

Those of you who have begged answers from YAH have received, have you not? How, then, can you turn around and not give to those who ask of you (Matthew 5:42)? How you give an answer is up to you, but if you do not answer in some fashion, you show thereby that you have a hidden agenda that does not mimic our Heavenly Father. If you do not mimic HIM, then who are you mimicking?

Sincerely, Spying
