Nr. 545:
A true believer spiritual judgeth all things, and even live in accordance with what God's word teaches, what is the secret that he judges healthy, just and in accordance with the will of God!
We have a law, and shall fix a forefinger against others, but first and foremost to ourselves. When it's done, then we have both the right and the duty to correct it against others. This picture shows one forefinger directed against one or more. We should not be so afraid to correct a finger against something, especially those who preach the word of God. But we must always ensure that we live as we preach.
There are many times nice to read what I have written before, it holds even today. This I wrote certain period of 5-10 years ago. Do not know when, but it is on our website, take this as an introduction:
Bible's most misunderstood and misinterpreted scripture of believers?!
Rom.7.1. Judge not, that ye be not judged! 2 Following judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in the same measure that ye mete up, it will be measured back to you.
3 Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but the plank in your own eye you not notice? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye! Then you will see clearly enough to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
I've heard countless times that one should not judge.
But is this what Jesus says? No!
What Jesus is saying is that first should have nothing to hide itself. Only then has the right to judge, not before.
It also summarizes several other passages. Jesus says about who shall be called great in the kingdom of God. Matt.5. 19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does them and teaches others to do the same, shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Furthermore, in Matt.23.2 "in Moses' seat sits the scribes and Pharisees. 3 Whatever they say, you shall therefore make and keep. But what they do, you will not abide by. For they say one and do something else.
We first meet here that Jesus praises the people who learn that they preach in contrast to the Pharisees. As preached right but who lived opposite.
The script provides a unified witness that we shall judge, especially in the spiritual realm. We will even judge angels too.
But scripture, particularly Jesus points out that the prerequisite for this is to live and walk in the light itself. Then a law also point out other things. But the saying goes, too much and too little scarring. So it is with everything, why should we weigh our words carefully. But to deny others to judge is not biblical teaching. God's word says in 1 Kor.2.5 But the man who has the Spirit can judge everything, and although it can not be judged by anyone.
Whoever has the Spirit and walk even in accordance with the word of God can and will judge what is from God and in accordance with the scriptures and not. But it is also good to know in this context that we all see bits and pieces. (End of quote).
This is a very good quote, 'Do not judge what you do not know.
Bjørnson
What does Jesus really? What does the word of God?
As I see it, we have the rule of law making us an opinion, and also be able to judge what is right and what is wrong. About what is sin and not sin. We should be able to judge all, for the scripture says, "But the man who has the Spirit can judge everything and although it can not be judged by anyone."
There is no one who is so judgmental than those who point out that others should not judge, it is my experience. What saith the Scripture that important here?
We read what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount:
Matt. 5 19 Therefore, whoever breaks one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
The essence of Jesus' teaching here is that even live in accordance with God's will and word, if not than it does. Then one should remain silent in the face of others, completely set. But living than even according to the word of God, then, is both a right and a duty to speak out. For we shall be judged with the same judgment that we judge others. Therefore, Jesus says that if we do not even sufficient, then it is much better to ask for mercy. Then it is possible to find it. But we do not even extends to and condemn others, when the verdict will be relentless. Here is an example of it:
Luke 18 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: God! I thank thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God! weather sins gracious me! 14 I tell you, this man went down justified to his house rather than the other: for every one exalts himself shall be abased, and he humbles himself shall be exalted.
The secret is to be self-leveling of the word of God in their lives, when everything is "law"?
But is not level with the Word of God, Tues set, then if possible find favor with God.
Scripture tells us to judge everything, even the angels are we even judge.
1 Corinthians 6:2 Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
Final comment:
What exactly is the word of God learn about the judging? Did Bjorn Bjornsen says it very well already quoted, "Thou shalt not judge what you do not know." Want to add what Jesus said already quoted from the Sermon on the Mount, "but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
We will of course put us into things, do not be superficial. Secondly, we always go in ourselves, and see if our lives can withstand the light of God's word. If it does, then we have a full opportunity to assert our views, even if it is perceived as a judge.
But the final judgment belongs only to the Lord also says Scripture
1 Cor. 4 3 But with me it has little to say to be judged by you or by any human court; yes, I judge me not even yourself; 4 For I know nothing by myself, but am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts: and then shall all get their praise of God.
God is our ultimate judge!
The apostle Paul showed nothing of his own life, faith or heart who do not measure, it is a very strong faith. Yet, God was his final judgments. So it is for all of us, you and me dear friend!
