If God only knows our hearts, should we judge brothers & sisters of faith issues?

[GreenNnice]

Curious. All the time, people try to judge others on here.

Don't you realize that you set yourself up for HARSH judgment , for HARSH circumstances from the Spirit, there are consequences for our actions, do you believe that God takes us up a 'mountain' like He did with Abraham taking his son, Isaac. God spoke with Abraham and Abraham listened. Could Abraham not of listened? What would have been the result? You DO know the story of Jonah?

Since God is the same today, yesterday, forevermore, you DO know what happened to Jonah?

Will it take the Spirit speaking to you in the belly of a fish for you to WAKE UP and realize we are NOT to judge fellow brothers and sisters. Sure, we are to stress our ways of believing but name-calling and judging them to hell, either cleverly or OUTRIGHT is wrong !!!

Dead wrong. And , you might be the one who becomes dead after telling someone else they are WRONG AND THEY WILL BURN IN HELL for their way of believing.

Hey, it sounds real simple to me, am I wrong on this?

God condemns someone to hell? Never !! He gives them FULL opportunity to choose Him but some will just not believe, they will, therefore, not be chosen, they will, therefore, and, Scripture is clear on this, too, CONDEMN themselves ! This is harsh, harsh harsh truth in His Word, from The Word of God, from the Spirit, perhaps, even speaking to you right now.

Wake up, learn what God means by 'we are to judge righteously,' and IF you cannot help fellow brothers and sisters that tramp on the needy, go after wrongful smut, that pot up, then you have NOT got a clue, do you?

God bless you all, Christ peeps, for learning how to love others just as He loves you, just as we are to love them and Him, like we love ourselves, right, with all our heart, soul, mind, for Him, we are to love God. And, for others, we are to love them like we love ourselves.Who is your 'neighbor' you are to love as yourself?

Great commandments, Love Him, and, love others, straight from the Word of God, from the very words of Jesus who came from a Holy Spirit seed that bears its fruit in us, remains in us, keeping us from sinning, right, from making mistakes that TAKE us from Him, we are covered by His blood, by His love for us. Love. Love. Love. Him. Others.

Are you blasphemiing Him because you have condemned other Christians and God is dealing VERY harshly with you now and YOU are denying Him. Turn back to Him, turn back to NOT judging others, turn to His abundant life, which is found in letting Him deal with other BELIEVERS about idolatry and immorality, and, all those other things in Galations 5.

Sure, look at Corinthians 5, about the man who was thrown out for willful sin and then must have schmoozed over the general Corinth church populace, that MAN was knowingly doing heinous, horrible SIN , in the church !! Paul said to throw that man, who had sex with his father's wife (guy's stepmom) and will be better off with Satan being able to CLUTCH him , for the CHANCE that that man can STILL be saved !!!! Read it yourself !!!

Context !!! We are to examine, and, quite harshly too, those who willfully disobey Him and we are to accept the Spirit's leading, even if it's the pastor, or a rich guy in church that gives 25% of the church's tithe totals, which this man in 1 Cor. 5 may have very well had this kind of 'power.' I don't know, 1 Cor. 5 doesn't say why the church put up with his sexual sins and Paul had to address the darkness to bring it to light but, anyway, I will stop there.

STIOP JUDGING those who are NOT idolaters, who are not immorally going about doing things on c.c., but who may believe a little different about SPIRITUAL GIFTS or whatever PETTY thing that grips your 'plank' eyes.

Better figure it out, or, ahoy, mate!!! You will 'walk!!!! ' by your own foolishness to THINK you can PLAY God by judging fellow believers on c.c.

Sorry to offend some, sorry to make things stick in your craw like this, but you MUST face the truth, who is going to face it to you, I don't know, I don't like to do these kind of threads but WAKE UP and smell the light !!! He is crying over your judging other Christians, who are going to the SAME PLACE as you when they die. To be with Him.

There are types of "judgement" that the everlasting priesthood has the authority to uphold. These types of judgement are not condemning people to hell, but are there for accountability purposes and edification of the body of Christ. It's like going to a judge to be declared guilty or innocent regarding a certain situation and circumstance that actions may or may not have been justified. I will not judge everlasting judgement, and say that someone is going to hell forever, or going to not exist forever, and so on. Accountability is something not many in the church as whole are really accomplishing, because really, who wants to be accountable? If a person really wants to be accountable to God and the body of christ, then it's very easy, and I don't even need to explain the many ways a person can do this. If a person is walking with God, then that person should aslo desire to be walking with his body.

Joh 7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
Joh 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.


Joh 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
Joh 12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
Joh 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
Joh 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Joh 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Joh 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Php 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Php 1:10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
Php 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

1Co_1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1Co_4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
1Co_7:25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
1Co_7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God

It's clear that there are different types of judgment. So my judgment concerning this matter is to not judge eternal judgment, and to remember:

Jas_2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Heb 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Heb 6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.
