Hi -
Scriptures are from the King James Holy Bible.
Matthew 7:1 - Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Many people, even bonafide sinners, know that scripture. I’ve heard
that passage quoted numerous times. In some instances, we’ve heard it
quoted by folks who rebel against godly rebuke. Their aim is to misplace
the blame on the ones who God has truly sent to give rebukes as
judgment against sinful conduct.
Of course, love is key. It’s
certainly wrong to engage in malicious, self-righteous and mean-spirited
judging. But judging in perspective is sensible. The Holy Bible has a
whole book titled Judges. GOD appointed them.
In the Old and
New Testaments, there are accounts of GOD sending His holy messengers to
judge. GOD judges righteously and when He sends His holy messengers,
they obediently deliver righteous judgment messages. John the Baptist
had his head cut off for judging King Herod!
Yes, GOD is love.
His love is provided in an assortment of ways. Some folks prefer to
perceive GOD as “warm and fuzzy”, issuing out blessings, forgiveness and
mercy. Yes, that's indeed GOD. But He’s a full gospel GOD who also
issues judgments for evil deeds and sinful lifestyles.
Examples of GOD using His people to judge:
Samuel judged the PRIEST, Eli -- 1 Samuel 3:11-14
Samuel judged KING Saul -- 1 Samuel 13:13
Nathan judged KING David -- 2 Samuel 12:7
Jonathan rebuked his father, Saul, the KING for opposing David. -- 1 Samuel 19: 4, 5
A man (scripture doesn't name him) came to Eli, the PRIEST and judged him. -- 1 Samuel 2:27-29
Naaman, the CAPTAIN was corrected by his servants for not being inclined to wash in the Jordan. -- 2 Kings 5:13
Here are some scriptural references that prove that righteous judgment is truth:
Isaiah 61:8 - For I the Lord love judgment, . . . I will direct their work in truth, . . .
Amos 5:15 - Hate the evil, and love he good, and establish judgment in the gate: . . .
Isaiah 59:15 - … and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Proverbs 31:9 - Open thy mouth, judge righteously,…
1 Corinthians 2:15 - But he that is spiritual judgeth all things,…
Colossians 3:25 - But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Freedom Journey
This blog was created on Saturday March 22, 2014, and is geared to folks whose steadfast aim is freedom through learning, teaching and DOING truth. Incorrect beliefs can prevent constructive forward motions. We cannot afford to allow ignorance, pride and stubbornness to keep us deceived.
Refuse to be prisoners of your perceptions. Cast away nonsense traditions. Freedom resides in authentic and proven truths.
REAL truth is freedom!

Only GOD is perfect. It's vital to seek the Lord to expose errors. Please ask Him to expose any areas of darkness and for what is necessary to DO to dispossess what's NOT of truth.
