Persevering Far Apart From Idolators and Frienemies

 Persevering Far Apart From Idolators and Frienemies

Positive Christianity Series Episode #232

The Proverbs describe the need to not be a part of the wicked. We learn that Psalms describe that David did not want to know anything of evil. The Sacred Scriptures remind us to avoid idolators, false prophets, false apostles, and false "friends" who only want to lead to the practice of idol worship and adultery. We know that false prophets speak temporary lies and only want to lead to the practice of sin. We choose to be far apart from the practice of sin and idol worship and from false prophets who envy others.

"The righteous chooses his friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray."- Proverbs 12: 26

We learn that we are supposed to accept correction and counsel knowing that we are supposed to avoid negative and narcissistic people. We learn that we are not supposed to be friends with malignant narcissists who envy and resent others. Malignant narcissists actually want to know how you are doing so that they can envy more and try to tempt to the practice  of sin. Idolators and false prophets do not want to help others. Instead they resent and envy others. We can avoid such people.

We learn in the stories of Scripture of individuals that decided to persevere trusting in GOD Almighty over supposed friends. Job was doubted by his friends when Job began to be persecuted by the accuser. Job kept trusting in GOD Almighty and did not trust his supposed friends describing that they were doubting Job when Job needed encouragement. Job decided to trust in GOD Almighty over his supposed friends and persevered to old age 140 years. We can doubt supposed friends and instead trust the GOD of gods, GOD Almighty.

"Whoever walks with the wise is wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." Proverbs 13: 20

We can avoid frienemies and false apostles who practice foolishness and are disobedient to the commandments of Moses. We learn that the worst is not not having friends, but the worst is having false "friends" of convenience who can actually be frienemies. That is not good. We can have gratitude for not having fake "friends". I can recount that there were frienemies in the past who actually envied for no reason. There were fake frienemies that said they were friends while actually reviling and insulting. They flattered and also reviled. They were obviously socialists. The false friends try to lead to idolatry and sin. On one occasion a frienemy from high school attempted to set me up on a date with a girl that I did not know. I had good grades and made varsity my sophomore year playing soccer. The frienemy tried to get me to be indisciplined by trying to get me to go out with a girl (who may also have been a socialist). I denied the relationship and kept discipline throughout high school. This was when I was in high school during my junior year and was 17 years old. Later when I worked in the emergency department at the age of 26, another frienemy who also was a socialist attempted to set me up on a date. He was adamant that I attempt to form a relationship and I thought it was unnecessary and weird since each person has autonomy to decide if they want to be in a relationship or not. I was able to not be in a relationship being delivered from that relationship. I later found out that the frienemy was also going out with that girl and that she was an adultress and feminist. I was able to persevere without the frienemies and also without the fake "relationships". (I learned that in sports and also other fields including music, when there is envy, socialists attempt to place a false "relationship" in order to discourage, demotivate, and lead far from discipline. Joe DiMaggio was a starting baseball player who was one of the greatest and after his relationship with Marilyn Monroe in the late 1950s, he began to decline in discipline, have injuries, and ultimately was divorced because Marilyn Monroe was "tired of sports and wanted to be more intellectual". That was the reason to justify the adultery with Arthur Miller. There is the story of Kalimba who was a top pop musician in Mexico. The story of Kalimba instructs us to avoid relationships with idolatrous adultresses. Kalimba began to preach and worship GOD Almighty instead of practice self-worship. Kalimba preached in different churches giving his testimony while making good music. A temptress who was 17 yet said was 18 accused Kalimba of being in a relationship while she was 17. Kalimba stated that she had lied and said she was 18 when the relationship started. The temptress later appeared in a lascivious magazine, Playboy, being front cover as a reward for most likely accusing falsely. Socialists probably placed the temptress so that people doubted Kalimba since he was musically talented and also worshiped GOD Almighty. This describes how there are negative narcissists who envy and resent others. We should avoid narcissistic socialists and adultresses.) Scripture says that the snake attempted to tempt Moses and Israel through idolatry and adultery, yet the majority chose GOD Almighty. The snake caused Saul to envy David. Saul wanted David to marry his daughter so that Saul could control David. David trusted in GOD Almighty and not Saul's daughter. Paul was followed around by an adultress when preaching near the pagan temples. The adultress tempted Paul to practice adultery, and Paul denied the temptation each and every time. We can avoid idolatry and adultery. We can choose to persevere trusting in GOD Almighty and avoid adultresses, idolators, false prophets, and frienemies.
