Sister Nat
who is Jesus telling to judge righteous? Man or God?
Jn 7v21:
Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22: Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers
and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
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?
24:
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
if Jesus is telling this creation called man to judge righteous it seems to me that it is possible for man to do it?
How?
using God's words!!!!
Pay attention Sister and who ever read this God has one way of doing things.
1Cor 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
1Cor 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Eph 2:18 For through him
we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Eph 4:4
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Phil 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs,
that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
How many ways? ONE!
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
do we read 2, 3, multiple, divided, subtracted, we read ONE!
.
AGAIN
lets read the bible
how many days did Jesus say he would be in the grave?
38: Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39: But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it,
but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly;
so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
can we get three days and 3 nites from good friday to easter sunday morning?
now tell me is this
is this Jesus who is in the grave from good friday to easter sunday morning the Jesus who said he will be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nites?
Brother,
You are infering that this should not only be celebrated, but celebrated with exact execution. This is not biblical, nor is it of GOD that we even celebrate Easter as a holiday. We do it in commemoration of Christ Jesus. There are some who find more joy in HIS ressurection and not HIS death. And Joy is the reason to celebrate.
Let us look at
Jeremiah chapter 35:
Here we find that GOD sent Jeremiah to the family of the Recabites (Decendants of the Kenites of which Moses' father in law was as he served as priest in Midian) to bring them into one of the side rooms of the Lords House and serve them wine.
Once they got there and the wine was setved to them they said, we cannot drink this because we've been commanded by our forefather Jonadab never to drink wine, or build houses, or plant seeds or grow vinyards and we were told by him that if we follow these commands we will live long in a the land in which we are nomads.
God knew full well what would happen when they were brought to HIS house for HE knows everything. What does HE do with their witness of obedience to their forefather? He says:
Jeremiah 35:13-16 "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
Go and tell the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, 'Will you not learn a lesson and obey my words?' declares the LORD. Jonadab son of Recab ordered his sons not to drink wine and this command has been kept. To this day they do not drink wine, because they obey their forefather's command.
But I have spoken to you again and again, yet you have not obeyed me. Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, "Each of you must
turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them. Then you will live in the land I have given to you and your fathers." But you have not paid attention or listened to me. The descendants of Jonadab son of Recab have carried out the command their forefather gave them, but these people have not obeyed me.'
We know full well that none of these requirements of Jonabad were set in place by GOD, for none of them appear in GOD's laws handed down through Moses.
And what did HE say to Judah?
Jeremiah 35:17 "Therefore, this is what the LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem every disaster I pronounced against them.
I spoke to them, but they did not listen; I called to them, but they did not answer.'"
And what did HE say to the Recabites?
Jeremiah 35:18-19 Then Jeremiah said to the family of the Recabites, "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'You have obeyed the command of your forefather Jonadab and have followed all his instructions and have done everything he ordered.' Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
'Jonadab son of Recab will never fail to have a man to serve me.'"
Why did HE do this? Because OUR GOD is a Mercifull GOD and nothing the Recabites were doing was wrong. But we today would find fault with everything they did, as we find fault with our brothers and sisters who do not honor GOD as we think they should. Stop condemning your fellow man because you do not see them honoring GOD as you do. Trust that GOD has insight that you know nothing about and live at peace with your fellow man. If they are doing wrong, GOD HIMSELF will bring this to their attention.
Ephesians 4:26 "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
James 1:19-20 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for
man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
Look at Jacob (Isreal) who when he found out that Rueben had slept with his concubine Bilhah (Genisis 35:22). He did not approach Rueben and qaurel with him (at least not on record) on what he had done. It wasn't until the blessing of the 12 tribes that this came up (Genesis 49:4).
Look at Jacob (Isreal) when Simeon and Levi took revenge for their sister Dinah. (Genesis 34:11-29) And Jacob rebuked them instead of praising them for what was done (Genesis 34:30). It wasn't until the blessing of the 12 tribes that this came up again (Genesis 49:7) where it says
"cursed be their anger".
Look at Jacob (Isreal) who knew what Judah had done with Tamar (Genesis 38) and nothing about it came up even during the blessing of the 12 tribes (Genesis 49:8-12).
I beseech you to walk in peace with GOD
and your fellow man. I am not saying stop honoring GOD as you deem worthy, I am just saying stop judging your fellow man in reference to the standards you have set for yourself.
You will honor GOD in doing so.
