JUDGEMENT: WARN AND CONDEMN
In the name of God, the
Master of the universe the Ruler of the earth.
It
is our prayer today and always that all men and women, boys and girls will
accept our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and be saved.
God
has all power. Thus, God has the power to render Peace and Paradise or eternal
damnation to man. Man does not have the power to render life or death.
Therefore, he does not have the power to judge other men. Man only has the
power that God has given him. God's judgment and the identification of sin (by
man) are different. It is your Christian duty to speak out against sin and the
ways of the Anti-Christ. The believers know that none of us are free from sin
thus; to identify sin is not to say one is free from sin. The Believers know
that we have to repent daily for our sins, those that don't know God are
unaware of this. Those that know God and classify sin as righteousness are also
wrong.
The Believers have to be strong in
the race for eternal life. You can only serve one Master. Those that serve God
are bold in their stand on the Word of God and our Savior Jesus the Christ.
Weak Christians are those that are confused and try to please man before God.
Humble yourself to God and not to the sins of man. Weakness to the things of
the world will render eternal damnation.
Often at Psyche
Publishing we say that
"We come to warn and condemn." We say this out of our strong convictions to
keep God first in our lives. We say this because it is our duty to warn those
among us that are lost and those that have been fooled by false prophets. We do
not say this because we feel that we are special and those that we warn are
condemned to hell. All living creatures have the opportunity to repent for
their sins. If you do not, the Bible teaches us that you will spend an eternity
in hell.
As Believers we seek
to repent daily and are mindful of the forgiveness of God if we repent. But, in
our society many so-called Believers and those that are lost seem not to know
sin. Thus, it is our responsibility and duty to identify sin wherever it may
be. To identify sin is not passing judgment, only God can judge. God is Supreme
and He only can render you Peace and Paradise or Damnation. So Judgment is
Peace and Paradise or Damnation. Therefore, the identification of sin is not
judgment.
The Believers have the mission of
identifying sin because many so-called Believers bring sin into the church.
Thus, these Believers claim that the sin of their choice is sanctioned by God
and is not sin. What comes first the identification of sin or to warn and condemn?
Logically one must identify sin first. Then comes the Christian duty of warning
and condemning. To warn is to reveal what God has said about the sin that is
committed. Condemning that follows is simply noting what God has said will
happen to a sinner who does not repent.
Jeremiah, Amos and Hosea came to warn and condemn. In the process they identified sin.
Jeremiah 18:18.
Jeremiah was not afraid to give unpopular criticism. He spoke out against the
false prophets that had fooled the people. He challenged the people's social
and moral behavior. As he stood up against the evils of the people, he was
persecuted. Jeremiah just like Psyche Publishing has spoke out against the evils of the people in this
society. Meanwhile, the people seek to silence Psyche
Publishing the Freedom Journal.
Let it be written NO MAN CAN SILENCE THE SCRIBES AND SPOKESMEN OF GOD.
The success of Jeremiah was noted by God in his obedience and faithfulness.
Our mission is also a mission of obedience and faithfulness. Thus, no matter
what kind of opposition we face and regardless to the personal cost and the
resistance of the Anti-Christ we at Psyche Publishing the Freedom Journal will continue our mission of Truth.
We also hear the words of the prophet
Amos saying I am as my name implies a Burden-Bearer. I carry the heavy
burden of God's message to Israel and the world. Amos came to warn the world and Israel of God's judgment
for sin. We will not oppress the poor as God has commanded us not to. Psyche
Publishing the Freedom Journal
is a vehicle for the poor and the oppressed crying out in the wilderness of
this land. The attempts to forsake God and his people are the ways of the fool.
We will never forsake God because to forsake God is to accept the judgment of
eternal doom.
The prophet Hosea comes as a messenger of God. He message is revealed
in a love story. His life with an unfaithful woman is parallel to the life of
the people of Israel. As Gomer the wife of Hosea was unfaithful so were the
people of Israel unfaithful to God. After warnings of His judgment God
reaffirms his love and offers reconciliation. God cannot save those who refuse
to repent. If we return to God, God will take away our sins. John 3:16 Christ
died for our sins. Repentance will bring restoration with God.
As we go to the scriptures, we will
find greater clarity in our understanding of this point.
Matthew 7:1,
2,3,4,5
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
These words (judge not) are often
quoted by people who often resent being corrected for wrong doing. This verse
means not to judge unrighteously. Thus if a judgment is according to the truth
and facts in a case then it would be righteous judgment.
At Psyche
Publishing we make
righteous judgment. We gather the facts, and we have no interest in malice or a
spirit of hate. But, when you gather the facts you also arrive at Truth. Truth
is the most important element in our analysis of the experiences of man over
time. It is sad though that most people in today's world do not want to know
the Truth. Thus, many denounce Truth and are afraid of Truth. They evidently
feel that Truth will get them in trouble. (For the record many in our family
and so-called friends fit into this category. Surely we must have many enemies
if so many family and long time friends also try to contradict and run from
Truth).
Let it be written by the inspired
Scribe that Truth will set you free. Thus, one is a fool indeed, to think that
Truth will cause him or her trouble. But, if you do not know God and seek to
please man every step you take on earth you will be confused by Truth. Your
confusion is a sad state of those that have sold out to Satan and those that
are hell-bent.
We continue our scripture discussion
with:
John 7: 24
Judge not according to the
appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
The outward appearance does not
always provide all the facts in a case. One needs to investigate and get the
whole truth. Then a judgment rendered on that basis will be a righteous
judgment. Once again the scriptures tell us to investigate in order to deliver
a righteous judgment, and the correct conclusions and analysis about a
particular occurrence. As God fearing people at Psyche
Publishing we are
obligated by God and the ethics of academic standards to research and
investigate. Those of you that denounce our findings once again maintain that
you are the Anti-Christ and are lost. Those that are men of the cloth that have
sought to destroy Psyche Publishing demonstrate that you are lost and do not want to be
found. You evidently believe that you have a special place with God and that
you can create sin out of goodness and Truth.
The Old Testament also speaks to the
question of judgment:
Deuteronomy 1:16, 17
A leader has specific qualities
(Moses) (1) Wisdom, (2) Fairness (3) Impartiality and (4) The ability to
recognize their imitators. Judgment in disputes should be fair. The judgment is
God's. Thus, those that judge must act with regard to God.
II Chronicles 19: 6
And said to the judges, take heed what
ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the
judgment.
Leviticus 19: 15
One should not be influenced by one's
station in life in making a judgment.
Here in the Old Testament we see that
God has commissioned many to make judgments in his name. Thus, in the name of
God those that make judgments seek to be impartial and fair and correct in the
decisions that Almighty God has sanctioned.
What logically comes after the
judgment and identification of sin is the Warning. To warn is to give notice in
advance. To put up a guard against danger, to remind. Therefore, to warn
someone is a blessing because if they do not heed the warning they will suffer.
But, one has to believe in order to heed a warning. Most people do not believe in
the Word of God and disregard the warnings that come from God and the
Believers.
In Genesis
6:22 we see God warning
the people and Noah.
Thus, did Noah; according to all that
God commanded him, so did he.
People do not believe in God's coming
judgment for sin.
I Peter 3:20
God has given everyone the
opportunity to come to him but this does not mean a second chance for those who
reject Christ in this life.
Numbers 33:55, 56
God never goes back on his word.
God's word should be taken seriously.
Deuteronomy 4: 25,26,27,28
This warning eventually came true.
Time and time again the Israelites turned from God.
Judges 2:3
No one can escape the consequences of
disobeying God. The Israelites not only disobeyed, but often rejected him. We
have also been warned. We can learn to obey God's clear warnings in the Bible,
or we can experience the devastating consequences of our wrong actions.
Deuteronomy 27: 15-26
God warns out of love.
Those that know the Word are supposed
to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. In this message are reminders of what
God has said about sin without repentance. Thus, one should be grateful that
they are warned of God's coming judgment.
As we conclude this great trilogy of
action on the part of the Believers, we bring into focus the Great Liberator
our Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus came to this earth with a ministry to Heal,
Preach and to Teach while He was on earth. But, Jesus came to be a sacrificial
Lamb for our sins. We are not Jesus, but our mission is to spread the Good News
of Jesus Christ. As we speak of the Good News we must identify sin, warn the
people and note the condemnation for this sin if the people will not repent.
Condemnation is to express strong
disapproval, to pronounce guilt for a crime to sentence to doom. The book of
Romans gives us clear scriptures lessons in order to understand this point.
Romans 1:18
God's anger at sin.
For the wrath of God revealed from
heaven against all ungodliness and un-righteousness of men, who hold the truth
in unrighteousness.
Why is God angry at sinful people?
Because they have substituted the Truth about him with a fantasy of their own
imagination.
Romans 1:25
Who changed the Truth of God into a
lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen
The Bible is the only standard of
Truth. The Truth of God cannot be changed into a lie, for divine Truth is
eternal.
Romans 2: 12-15
God's moral law stands in all
societies. All sinners will be judged for their sins.
Romans 3: 1
We are condemned by our own actions.
Romans 3: 10-18
All people are sinners.
