The Mistranslation Argument

I think inside you means to let your mind be made over for Christ.
The same word has been recorded at Matthew 23:26.

To the people who can not doubt that their way is the only right way, who have drawn their conclusion for such an opinion from the Bible, please take to heart this one (from the same Bible), 1 Peter 5:5-6
Young's Literal Translation
In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace; be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,
Younger ones ie new ones (that is us) subject yourselves to the older ones (the ones writing what you obey). The elders are they who heard what you read. If you think you know just what they meant, you are putting yourself abreast of them which is NOT HUMBLE.
proud; Strong's 5244
From huper and phaino; appearing above others (conspicuous), i.e. (figuratively) haughty -- proud.

I do not disagree with you. I am adding substance. Know yourself, but in association with Heaven.
Many people know themselves in association with this world. What good is it doing, in your opinion?
How do you know Hitler did not know himself?

Never met him.
Not familiar with his writings.
How could i know?
We have to start from where we are at.
All knowledge of self is good.
Am I seeing things? I see the irony.
If by his writings, you might know Hitler, does the same apply to me? Can you tell me about me?
I am on board with that.
I don't know, if you say so.

Yes
I
I think I am ready to hear it, but you would know whether or not I am. Right?
You would know that I think it is funny the way people do that.

Whether or not you are what?
You would know whether or not I am ready to hear what I am (because you know).

Empathy is the secret.
Practice empathy if you want to know.
Being female you would probably do well to work on your reasoning ability.
Intuition comes natural to women but logic does not.
Men are the opposite.
If you want to know who you are use others to find out through the use of empathy.
I think I know that. You said you could know me by what I write so is it not fair to ask you?
Ask me what? LOL I think I am sorely reading the future in that last post of mine. haha
Might I get a straight answer to my question?

In your opinion @allfoak can knowing how others know me help to know if what I know about myself is real or imagined?

I'm not sure what you are asking.
You asked me if i knew if Hitler knew himself.
Are you asking me to make that judgment about you?
When i say that i know myself, what i am saying is that i am connected to my source.
I know my own soul.
Although i do not know my soul's name yet.
If i were to judge whether you even know that you have a soul that is separate from you and that you can talk to your soul, i would have to say that your knowledge is very limited.
It is something you think about occasionally but don't really know how to approach the subject because of all of the confusion surrounding it.

The last thing you need is the opinions of others to determine who you are.In your opinion@allfoak can knowing how others know me help to know if what I know about myself is real or imagined?
Whatever is happening in our lives in the moment is our teacher.
Rely on your own intuition to learn about yourself, not the opinion of others.
