00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:08.240
Do not avenge yourselves, my beloved, but leave room for the wrath of

2
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:13.599
God, for it is written,
I am vengeance. I' ll pay,

3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:20.199
says Mr Romans. Chapter twelve,
verse nineteen. I remember once I

4
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.440
took a tatzi in a city and
was very happy when the taxi driver identified

5
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:31.600
himself as a Christian. But as
we were on our way, a biker

6
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.280
passed very close to his vehicle and
I noticed that from that moment on,

7
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.439
his face changed immediately and tried to
run him over. I took the opportunity

8
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.640
to let him go and try to
keep him in good spirits. However,

9
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:52.399
his response was the next male.
I' ll tell you the truth.

10
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:58.079
I' m a Christian like King
David. I give anyone down, maybe

11
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:07.159
that cabbie. Many think so and
justify their misbehavior in biblical characters, misunderstandings

12
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:15.760
and taken out of context. As
Christians, we are called if possible and

13
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:21.040
as far as it depends on us
to be at peace with all men.

14
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:26.799
But there will be situations where it
will be impossible to make peace with all,

15
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:33.079
for even our Lord Jesus Christ had
opposers who sought his evil and wanted

16
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:38.480
to stone him. There are believers
who mistakenly think that avoiding a lawsuit is

17
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:45.239
to say so. Besides, you
don' t know me. I'

18
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.760
m a Christian, yes, but
I' m not an asshole and I

19
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.519
don' t let anyone get away
with it, so don' t rush.

20
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.920
I know how I' m going
to pray to God. It is

21
00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:01.280
foolish to think that you can avoid
a lawsuit with ns and using threats,

22
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.199
contrary to what Jesus did, who, when cursed, did not answer with

23
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:15.319
curse when he suffered, did not
threaten if he did not entrust the cause

24
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.680
to the one who judges Peter'
s righteous first. Chapter two, verse

25
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.240
twenty- three. But there are
some principles that, with the help of

26
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:30.479
the Holy Spirit, can help us
prevent a lawsuit from developing. Number one

27
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:37.520
keep the sanity. A man'
s sanity stops his anger and his honor

28
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:44.800
is to ignore the offense. Proverbs
nineteen verse eleven. To maintain sanity,

29
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.840
there are two actions that are vital. First, answer without roughness. The

30
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:58.800
soft answer takes away anger but the
harsh word brings up anger. Proverbs 15

31
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:04.159
one or a clear evidence that we
have self- control. That' s

32
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:08.560
when we know how to respond without
being dominated by the IRA. Keeping sanity

33
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:16.400
also means making silence if you have
foolishly tried to exalt yourself or if you

34
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.240
have thought of doing wrong. Put
your finger over your mouth. Proverbs thirty,

35
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:27.960
verse thirty- two. There are
occasions where we must avoid talking in

36
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:35.360
order to think wisely and not rush, even if it is using soft answers,

37
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.159
because there is time to talk and
time to shut up. Number two,

38
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.560
run away from temptation and whoever wants
to sue you and take off your

39
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:50.919
tunic, leave the matte cape to
him as well. Chapter five, verse

40
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:55.639
40. This is a call for
those who take the initiative in a play

41
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:02.479
and number three pay well, but
I say to you do not resist the

42
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.159
one who is bad before anyone who
hurts you on the right cheek, turn

43
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.879
to him the other mate five,
thirty- nine. Obviously, here we

44
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.759
are talking about not paying with the
same currency in order to overcome evil with

45
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:25.120
good. Now, if you exhaust
all the procedures to keep the peace,

46
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.720
but still you are attacked, how
should you react. It is well known

47
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:38.360
that even the most defenseless animal acts
in self- defense to protect its physical

48
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:45.600
integrity. Only in our case we
should act with the aim of immobilizing or

49
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:50.319
stopping the aggressor, so that the
lawsuit will be suffocated before it passes to

50
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.879
more and let ourselves be carried away
from anger giving rise to the devil.

51
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.480
This is definitely a case in which
none of us would want to be back,

52
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:09.759
especially those brothers who are prone to
anger and have no patience. This

53
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:15.360
is one of the reasons why we
should constantly ask the Lord in prayer and

54
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:24.439
not bring us into temptation more free
from evil. The enemy will try by

55
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:31.040
all means to put us in warlike
situations, but with God' s help

56
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:39.079
we must exercise ourselves in maintaining sanity, fleeing temptation and paying well. Think

57
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:47.120
about this how you react when you
are offended remember this do not rush into

58
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.720
litigation, lest you know what to
do at last after your neighbor has shamed

59
00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:01.399
you. Proverbs. Chapter twenty-
five verse eight p
