Brother Clifford wilson Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 Q34 Humility towards others cannot be applied as simple human traits, Humility in its purest form should sustain a person, showing humility as natural as possible. However, refinement of a person lacking in humility comes from practice and prayer. Godly humility shows respect for everybody. A humble person honors first showing respect. The application is still the same. Humility tested will seek common ground. Insulting speech might trigger emotion, but the humble will not compromise their belief of being humble before God. Interruption shows a lack of patience, hear a person out do not judge someone prematurely. We always show concern, this allows us to speak to the Lord while they are talking. Seeking his words in our mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewells Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 Q34. (1 Peter 3:15; Romans 12:10; 1 Peter 3:9) How is humility related to respect for others? To honoring others? How can we minister to someone for whom we have no respect? In what way does insulting speech trample upon humility? How does interrupting a person show disrespect? When we are humble I think we really learn to listen to others. We need to hear their heart, not exactly the words they may be saying. We need to hear without preconceptions, based on outward appearance. We need to hear them to find the differences or sameness that we may respect the differences or the places we need to have a boundary. A boundary to respect ourselves and them. We need to listen if we are a minister to them, if that be our role. We need to listen to hear what God is saying in the situations. If we see each person as a precious creation of the Father it helps us to know a humble place. We have no right to trample anything in God's creation. To be disrespectful does not bring God glory so we must retain the humble place before God. When we interrupt it does show impatience or that what we have to say is more important that what the other person has to say. Patiently taking turns and being completely heard is the most respectful way. The Lord tells us to treat others as we want to be treated. We all want to be heard and we all want to be respected. So if we can patiently listen to the other and respond in kindness God will be glorified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clelie Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 Respecting others and honouring them is showing humility to them for they all are created in the image of God.If we do not have this attitude, we can’t minister to them because we’ll be judging them through the lense of pride. When we are rude our speech shows a character of disrespect and arrogance not humility. Interrupting a person is unrighteousness for James 1:19 says be swift to hear and slow to speak.

Nicolaas A.P. Mostert Posted November 2 Report Share Posted November 2 Q34. (1 Peter 3:15; Romans 12:10; 1 Peter 3:9) How is humility related to respect for others? To honoring others? Humility brings you to the level of others, or more to a level lower then others to serve with a dignifying that equals respect to others. How can we minister to someone for whom we have no respect? NO, you can other wise it is from a place of own strength. In what way does insulting speech trample upon humility? Insulting must not be part of a Christian's vocabulary, and this is not part of a humble spirit. How does interrupting a person show disrespect? The saying is; we have two hears and one mouth so listen more then to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Eve Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 Q. 34 ( 1 Peter 3:15, Romans 12:10, 1 Peter 3:9) How is humility related to respect for others? To honoring others? As believers in Christ we are to explain our faith as humbly as we can. We cannot push our faith on others. Respect for others is one of the core/virtue qualities of true humility. These verses teach humility is a key to the Kingdom. It involves meekness and reverence. And not repaying evil with evil. We live in this world, but we are not of this world. We are just passing by waiting to go "Home." How can we Minister to someone for whom we have no respect? Ministering to disrespectful people doesn't mean tolerating abuse. It doesn't mean you never will confront problems or allow yourself to be constantly walked on. However, we show them love even if they don't deserve it. We can honor them without agreeing with them and seek peace and seek God. We should set boundaries, love from a distance, and keep ourselves from harm. In what way does insulting speech trample upon humility? Insulting speech tramples upon humility by directly contradicting its core principle of recognizing one's own limitation and respecting the dignity of others. How does interrupting a person show disrespect? When we interrupt someone it shows disrespect because it communicates that you don't care what the other person is talking about. We need to allow the person to speak and wait until they are finished as we listen with respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George L Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 Q34. (1 Peter 3:15; Romans 12:10; 1 Peter 3:9) How is humility related to respect for others? Humility is coming to mean avoid a contest for me. Humility approaches with respect to one being giving to. It positions them as important in the meeting with respect for them. It creates a helping offer not at tell them relationship. To honoring others? Humity gives reverence to and honor to them as a person and value to their thoughts and values. How can we minister to someone for whom we have no respect? We can not. Talking down presses them down in the relationship. We must place ourself below them and lift them up. They are valuable to God at the price of our saviors blood for them. They are the prize, we are the ministration to serve their need. In what way does insulting speech trample upon humility? It begins with disrespect and goes no faster in persuasion, as it was a form of condemnation. How does interrupting a person show disrespect? It is an act of domination over not care for the other.

Brenda Joy Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 Q34. (1 Peter 3:15; Romans 12:10; 1 Peter 3:9) How is humility related to respect for others? To honoring others? How can we minister to someone for whom we have no respect? In what way does insulting speech trample upon humility? How does interrupting a person show disrespect? Humility allows us to listen to others and respect them for thier views. If we disagree with someones views we can still minister with gentleness, kindness, and love. That may open them up to receive the truth. Insulting speech disengages us and it says I and my views are more important than yours. Interrupting someone says, what you have to say is more important than what I have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanks Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 Q34. (1 PETER 3:15; ROMANS 12:10; 1 PETER 3:9) How is humility related to respect for others? To honouring others? How can we minister to someone for whom we have no respect? In what way does insulting speech trample upon humility? How does interrupting a person show disrespect? Humility is related to respect of others as we focus on others rather than ourselves. We honour others as we see them made in the image of God (Gen 1:27), and Christians as our brothers and sisters in Christ. Ministering to a difficult person demands patience, gentleness and respect so that they might see the love of Christ in us and not be put off by any hypocrisy. We should never retaliate and repay evil for evil, the humble thing to do is repay insult with kindness. Interrupting a person is disrespectful in that it send them a message that their answer does not matter, that we are not interested in what they have to say. We would rather hear our voice – less of them, more of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epiphone8 Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 Humility is related in respect to others in not placing ourselves over others but recognizing them as an equal creation of God. I’m not sure it is possible to minister to someone who you don’t respect on the basic level of being a human made by God and in need of God’s grace, just as we all are. This doesn’t mean you have to agree with them or even like them, but insulting speech makes the other person less than and inflates our pride. Interrupting someone points out our own sense of self importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Wolf Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 Q34. (1 Peter 3:15; Romans 12:10; 1 Peter 3:9) How is humility related to respect for others? To honoring others? How can we minister to someone for whom we have no respect? In what way does insulting speech trample upon humility? How does interrupting a person show disrespect? Humility is an undergirding gentleness that shows kindness and peace in all situations. It brings honor to others in careful response to them, not interrupting them, and truly listening to what they have to say. Insulting speech and interrupting tramples humility and shows disrespect to others in denying their incredible worth before God. Ministering to someone for whom we have no respect can only happen when we are willing, as Jesus in washing feet--becoming a servant--becoming a servant of our Lord and asking the Holy Spirit to help us see the person through His eyes, not our own. 1Peter 3:8 lets us know HOW to act, "Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble." and 1Corinthians 7:22b-23a reminds that, "Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. You were bought with a price..." Since our lives belong to Jesus, we are part of His body whenever we honor another, for we represent Him (2Cor. 5:20).
