                        God’s Righteous Judgment

Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

  When Michelle was about 15 she took off like a wild stallion "reading the bible for herself".  She came out of her room one day and she said "You know what that verse means?  "It means whenever someone is accusing you of sin, it doesn't mean that you are actually guilty and are actually doing the sin they are accusing you of.  The very opposite.  They are telling you what sin they are guilty of."  So from then on our family has found it to be true.  We are accused of sin all the time.  When we study the accusation we find out the person accusing us is indeed deep in that sin they accused us of.......

             

Jesus said do not to judge in Matthew 7 verse 1 then Jesus said “do judge people”:   Matthew 7 verse 6: Do not give dogs what you have, do not even throw them a bone.  In verse 6 Jesus is saying figure out who is a dog, figure out who is a pig. Jesus said don't have anything to do with them.  He said this right after saying do not to judge people.) What? A Contradiction sentences apart, paragraphs that follow one another...........................................  


                   Contradictions in the Bible
       
Are you To judge others or not to judge others? 

    1 Corinthians 11:13 Judge for yourself.............. There are criminals, people in our lives who steal, lie, falsely accuse others, murderers, robbers, thieves etc. 

       

      We do need to judge others sometimes to help the victims of crimes, even if it is our own family hurting us. It is ok to protect yourself and others.

     

Jesus is innocent!

In America we are all guilty of not judging, we are guilty of letting criminals go free and we are guilty of punishing billions of innocent people---  Taking their life, liberty, and freedom from them on the basis that "all men are guilty." We thus proclaim judgement on the victim  without a trial.  Social Security and Public schools are examples of letting criminals go hog wild and lie, cheat and steal from others. (Parents are incompetent and can not educate their own children and all Americans are unable to take care of their own retirement.)We also pass judgement and have created a false  need to create jobs with the assumption that all men are guilty of not being able to provide for themselves as their own bosses on farms.

       I am guilty of not judging. When we fail to judge  we must call it; unjust, unfair, and "injustice".  

   

Good people were hurt when I did not stand up and speak out. Like Paul when he stood there and watched a crowd kill an innocent person, I too have just stood there, maybe even holding their coat like Paul did, of the criminals.

     I have let bad people go free and then they hurt others because I didn't say thing. Don't throw your brain out the window, but think...................

     So don't judge if it causes you to be self-conscience or angry, this would lead to hypocrisy.  

 Remember Jesus came to call sinners to repentance, to turn them from sin. Sinners are very selfish, self centered, self-conscious. They care about what others think about them causing them to constantly think about themselves.

     For the anger of man does not get the job done.  i.e. (What ever they accuse you of they are guilty of.) The squeaky wheel gets oiled.

                    Vigilantes: feminism, and the sexual revolution.

Both are injustices with no support of any kind of "God given" Authority or "God given rights" , (It's not in the Bible). The people involved in spreading these lies, these criminals spreading injustices, they were vigilantes, discriminators, bigots.

James 1:20-19 the anger of men:

 Listening and Doing

     19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness, (righteousness means: justice, everyone is innocent until proven guilty) that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil , (God is saying do not be a hypocrite, repent. Get our mind and thoughts cleaned by Jesus, get your mind out of the gutter),   that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

                      Judging Others Matthew Chapter 7

           When Jesus says "do not judge" he is saying: Do not be self-conscious, do not care about what others think.  Do things for God not for men.  Do not please men. Everything  you do is to please and obey God’s voice in you.

Jesus said not to judge in Matthew 7 verse 1. Jesus said “to judge people”:   Matthew 7 verse 6: Do not give dogs what you have, do not even throw them a bone.  Jesus is saying figure out who is a dog, a pig and don’t do anything they ask.  He said this right after saying not to judge people.

     

Jesus is saying do not be a hypocrite.  Be a repentant sinner, be a saint. Lead by the Holy Spirit and you can show others the error of their ways, convict them of sin which is the Holy Spirit's job.  Study Peter he convicted people of killing Jesus, 3,000 repented!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scriptures

Matthew 7:1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

6 “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.

Ask, and It Will Be Given

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

The Golden Rule

12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy [fn1]that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

A Tree and Its Fruit

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

I Never Knew You

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Build Your House on the Rock

24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

The Authority of Jesus

28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not a  the scribes and pharisees.

Peter:    Acts 2:36-41

36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”

37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

Witnesses to Jesus (Jesus is speaking)

John 5:21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

John5:30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. 31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.

Sexual Immorality Defiles the Church

1 Corinthians 5:1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father’s wife.2 And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

3 For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. 4 When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—10 not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother, (An American), if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?(those inside your country who are your fellow Americans, brothers) 13 God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”

1 When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! 4 So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, 6 but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?

9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous  will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,  10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you (are not anymore), you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Flee Sexual Immorality

12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. (or anyone, Christ is now our King, Lord, Master)

Luke12:42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47  “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48  But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
