I love God and other people enough and I am willing to tell others the Truth. I have had lost souls tell me, don't Judge, your going to drive souls away from God, that is not Christ like. That is just a few things that lost souls have said to me but, the fact is, they all have pushed themselves away from God, by their rebellion. I am going to touch a little on about Judging. We are to Judge all things. Many of you have asked, what about thou shall not Judge? My question to you are, why did you not read about 20 verses before and 20 verses after thou shall not Judge and read other scriptures and chapters in the Bible?
Don't twist scripture, unless ye be like Satan.
Matthew 7:1-6 1 Judge not, that you be not judged (this statement by Christ harks back to Verses 25 through 34 of the previous Chapter; the idea is, God may permit poverty to test His Child, but fellow Believers are not to err, as Job’s friends did, and believe the trial to be a judgment for secret sin; as well, the word, “judging,”as used here, covers every aspect of dealing with our fellowman). 2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged (whatever motive we ascribe to others, such motive will ultimately be ascribed to us): and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again (a double emphasis is given here in order to proclaim the seriousness of the Words of our Lord; when we judge others, we are judging ourselves). 3 And why do you behold the mote that is in your brother’s eye (the Believer is not to be looking for fault or wrongdoing in the lives of fellow Believers), but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? (We have plenty in our own lives which need eliminating, without looking for faults in others. The “mote”and “beam”are contrasted! The constant judging of others portrays the fact that we are much worse off than the one we are judging.) 4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the mote out of your eye (the seriousness of setting ourselves up as judge, jury, and executioner); and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? (Once again draws attention to the fact that the person doing the judging is in far worse spiritual condition than the one being judged.) 5 You hypocrite (aptly describes such a person), first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then you shall see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother’s eye (the very fact that we do not address ourselves, but rather others, portrays the truth that our personal situation is worse; when we properly analyze ourselves, then, and only then, can we “see clearly”; this is speaking of character assassination and not the correction of doctrine). 6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast you your pearls before swine (there may be problems in the Church, as Verses 1 through 5 proclaim, but still, the Church is never to reach out into the world, i.e., “dogs,”for help in order to solve its internal disputes), lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you (no help will be coming from the world, but rather destruction.; we are to take our problems to the Lord, obeying His Word, concerning disputes [Mat. 18:15-17]).
That is talking about the heart, which would be Motives. We are to Judge bad fruit, which is sin, sinful living and yes, even using foul languages.
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance (in effect, says, “if you think you have not violated the Sabbath in Circumcision, then how can you think I broke the Sabbath when I healed one of you who had been helpless for thirty-eight years?”), but judge righteous judgment (says that Judgment must be rendered according to the whole Word of God, and not merely by taking a part and perverting it to one’s own satisfaction).
People who have said to me, your going to drive people away from God. The fact is about that, they already have driven themselves away from God by their unbelief and Faith. They are followers of Satan and are blinded by Satan's darkness. When God speaks to others through me, people ends up hating me, for sharing the Truth. That does not bother me one bit but, they are actually hating God and wanting to continue to live as they please. Now that bothers me. Their souls are in danger of hell fire.
1 Thessalonians 4:8 He therefore who despises (despises the Commands of the Lord), despises not man, but God (treating the words of men lightly is one thing; treating the Word of God lightly is something else altogether), Who has also given unto us His Holy Spirit. (The Holy Spirit is given to Believers in order that we might live a Holy Life, which is done by us evidencing a constant Faith in the Cross of Christ.)
1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (the taproot of all sin is “rebellion”; witchcraft is the effort to manipulate the spirit world through demon spirits; how is that like rebellion? To rebel against God’s order, which is “Christ and Him Crucified,”is to take matters into one’s own hands, which is the same as witchcraft), and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry (“stubbornness”is an intractable spirit that refuses to believe God’s Word). Because you have rejected the Word of the LORD, He has also rejected you from being king.
Psalms 50:17 Seeing you hate instruction, and cast My Words behind you (to most nations of the world, the Word of God means little; now they will answer!).
Hosea 4:6 My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no Priest to Me: seeing you have forgotten the Law of your God, I will also forget your children. (“My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” is the cause of all the problems in the church, and the world, for that matter! The “knowledge” spoken of is the Bible. This “lack of knowledge” was not ignorance, but rather a willful rejection of the Law of God. They didn’t know, but it was because they didn’t want to know!)
Am I wrong for doing Rightous Judging? No, not at all. I Pray and hope that this will lead you closer to God but, it starts with denial of yourselves through Repentance.
Luke 9:23-24 23 And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me (the criteria for Discipleship), let him deny himself (not asceticism as many think, but rather that one denies one’s own willpower, self-will, strength, and ability, depending totally on Christ), and take up his cross (the benefits of the Cross, looking exclusively to what Jesus did there to meet our every need) daily (this is so important, our looking to the Cross; that we must renew our Faith in what Christ has done for us, even on a daily basis, for Satan will ever try to move us away from the Cross as the Object of our Faith, which always spells disaster), and follow Me (Christ can be followed only by the Believer looking to the Cross, understanding what it accomplished, and by that means alone [Rom. 6:3-5, 11, 14; 8:1-2, 11; I Cor. 1:17-18, 21, 23; 2:2; Gal. 6:14; Eph. 2:13-18; Col. 2:14-15]). 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it (try to live one’s life outside of Christ and the Cross): but whosoever will lose his life for My Sake, the same shall save it (when we place our Faith entirely in Christ and the Cross, looking exclusively to Him, we have just found “more Abundant Life”[Jn. 10:10]).
Repentance
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted (Repentance is an admittance that God is right, and we are wrong; he was speaking to the Rulers as well as to the people), that your sins may be blotted out (speaks of Justification by Faith), when the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord (should have been translated, “In order that the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord”);
Luke 13:3 I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish (this is a Message of somber note; evidently, they had assumed in their minds that the judgments suffered by these people was because of their great sins; they reasoned that they themselves were much more righteous, and would not suffer such — Jesus tells them differently).
2 Chronicles 7:14 If My People, who are called by My Name (Believers), shall humble themselves (humility), and pray, and seek My Face (the prayer of Repentance), and turn from their wicked ways (which proclaims the manner of true Repentance); then will I hear from Heaven (but not otherwise), and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (God’s Prescription for spiritual sickness).
Saying this Prayer will not Save you unless you Believe in what you are reading through Faith.
THE SINNER’S PRAYER
"DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN, I COME TO YOU TODAY AS A LOST SINNER." "I AM ASKING YOU THAT YOU SAVE MY SOUL AND CLEANSE ME FROM ALL SIN." "I REALIZE IN MY HEART MY NEED OF SALVATION, WHICH CAN ONLY COME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST." "I AM ACCEPTING CHRIST INTO MY HEART AND WHAT HE DID ON THE CROSS IN ORDER TO PURCHASE MY REDEMPTION." "IN OBEDIENCE TO YOUR WORD, I CONFESS WITH MY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND BELIEVE IN MY HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD." "YOU HAVE SAID IN YOUR WORD WHICH CANNOT LIE, 'FOR WHOSOEVER CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED' (ROM. 10-13)." "I HAVE CALLED UPON YOUR NAME EXACTLY AS YOU HAVE SAID, AND I AM SAVED."
God Bless
