Does God forbid false punishment under small and large scale, combined?

[Philip1993]

God punishes sinners far and wide. Does He punish upon final judgement or under small scale judgement?

If both are combined, wouldn't that seem as if judgement were in the wrong hands during certain points? Understanding the difference between God's punishment and an individual's punishment is pretty important.

Yes, I understand God's forgiveness. I'm just trying to understand the fact that we can all do a little something to help out. Knowing when punishment is false can determine tons of things.

Does He really forbid "false judgement" or does He use correct judgement to teach us to forgive others? Shouldn't we know when something like this is happening? Or am I simply trying to figure out things I cannot comprehend?

How do I try to tell Him about personally feeling things I call "false judgement" while truly expressing my love for Him as well as His Kingdom that lives forever and ever?

Thanks for the advice everyone, I know this subject may seem unknown or complicated.. I just thought I would reach out for someone that may have a great idea about coping with ungodly "false judgement" and His Godliness.

Most of the time God has an easy job with punishment. He just leaves sinners alone to do what is in their hearts. Romans 1 is a potted history of man's rebellion and the consequences. There are times when God directly intervenes as in the nation of Israel. That was because Israel was a covenant nation under the Law and Commandments. God also intervenes according to the intercession of His people.

God is not unjust, false, unrighteous or unfair in any way. Job is considered to be hard done by by many. He did not have to suffer. He had two problems. One, he was self-righteous. He needed to know that God's righteousness was far superior. Second, he opened himself up to Satan's attack through fear. "The thing I greatly feared has come upon me". Fear is the opposite of faith.

No one is entitled to one good thing from God. In Australia, we have the worst drought on record. That's saying something for a nation that routinely experiences drought. Fire is destroying forests. You can't blame God. A number of the fires were started by people. Is God withholding rain? Maybe, I'm not certain. "The rebellious dwell in a parched land". Foolish land clearing, poor water management and farm practices are not God's doing.

Just because we do not understand what is going on does not make us right and God wrong. There is no "false judgement".

It is best to forgive regardless in our walk with Christ, but verifly.

 

[Tolworth John]

Does He really forbid "false judgement" or does He use correct judgement to teach us to forgive others?

Yes he tells us not to judge other people without knowing all the facts.
Or not to judge other peoples little problems when we have major problems that need dealing with. Parable of judgeing a man with a speck of dust in his eye when one has a tree in yours.

How do I try to tell Him about personally feeling things I call "false judgement" while truly expressing my love for Him as well as His Kingdom that lives forever and ever?

You open your mouth and say I am concerned about xy&z because of AB & C.
If you find this difficult pick up a pen and a pad of writing paper and write about it.
Do what you were taught in writing eaasys, jot down ideas, link ideas together, reject those that don't fit. jot down developments of those ideas. look them all over, think and start writing.

Then read it. God will know what you are trying to say.


We do not play any part in judging or punishing sinners.

 

[Philip1993]

Thanks everyone. As God may decide what is best for us as well as a plan that truly fulfills a walk with Christ I can understand a little better. Sure things may seem needed to get to the point and to tell someone they are using "false punishment" under a time when it isn't needed. Maybe letting go and understanding how He lets sinners figure things out themselves under a decision like that is best. Forgiveness and letting go really helps brighten the work of Christ and His love. If someone does not choose to understand then they will have to deal with the mess they make, themselves.

Simply showing love and telling them it is a beautiful day outside as well as walking away before the conversation on a subject becomes hairy is for the best. Even while "false punishment" is obvious personally yet unknown in another's eyes.

does this apply?

1 Corinthians 5:12-13 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
12-13 It is not my business to judge those who are not part of the group of believers. God will judge them, but you must judge those who are part of your group. The Scriptures say, “Make the evil person leave your group.”
