As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "who has known the mind of The Lord so as to instruct him. But we have the mind of Christ."
Indeed! Jesus taught us, and he taught us that "if anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
We know what God says on this. Do not mislead the little ones. Leave. Kids. Alone.
The mind of God, for believers, is beyond our comprehension. We can't grasp it. But we have the mind of Christ in the sense of the accounts of his words and actions. Ans as Paul also wrote, "Let each person examine his own work, and then he can take pride in himself alone, and not compare himself with someone else."
Yes, none of us can know the Mind of God. But we know what God says on this. Do not mislead the little ones.
And yes, I am a sinner and I fully acknowledge it. There is much I am wrong on, of that I have no doubt. I'm here not to say "I am better than you" to anyone, but I must say "Ghav, your soul is in serious danger".
So in other words, worry about your own lack of compassion and not the choices made by others who are trying to serve God.
I am doing this because of my compassion. Ghav said I will "have to deal with more of (us) in Heaven" and, in all honesty, I truly, honestly hope Ghav is right.
But I have serious concerns that Ghav is deadly wrong.
If Ghav believed I were doing something that put my soul in danger of condemnation, I would want Ghav to do everything they could to convince me of that. "Treat others how you want to be treated" is how I try to live my life.
And I can honestly say that if the roles were reversed I would be grateful to the person constantly trying to help me see.
And I can say this because the roles were reversed. Not the exact same, but you know. I was self-harming and deeply depressed. But harming what God gave me is not the answer to my problems. And lying about who I am is not, either.
