Jesus' Righteous Judgement

when people say "don't judge me" you say I'm speaking what Jesus' says...
 

Do you as a Christian get tired of hearing celebrities, worldly people and so called "Christians" with unrighteous living say "don't judge me" because they don't want to hear what the Lord has to say about righteous living and being a child of God (Jesus).  They say part of this scripture Judge Not, well they are only quoting half of the scripture. If you read other scriptures that backs up this scripture you will see that you can tell them what God (Jesus) condemns as unrighteous. That's not you judging but God's (Jesus') judgement; you are only a messenger. Here's the scriptures I'm talking about: 

 Matthew 7:1-3 King James Version (KJV) 

 7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? (This is the scripture most celebrities and unrighteous people are talking about but, here's another scripture that adds more detail to this scripture)

Romans 2:1-15 New International Version (NIV)

God’s Righteous Judgment
2 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? (As long as you are living righteous you can say that they are living unrighteous. You are really not making the judgement but are repeating what God (Jesus) has already proclaimed.  The ones who are living ungodly can't judge.)

5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a] 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism.


12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.

Satan: The Man of Lawlessness

2 Thessalonians 2New International Version (NIV) 

 The Man of Lawlessness 

2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satanworks. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. 

 Stand Firm 

13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits[b] to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings[c] we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. 16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

Our Lord Will Deliver Us From Evil (BLM)

Psalm 140[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 Rescue me, Lord, from evildoers;
    protect me from the violent,
2 who devise evil plans in their hearts
    and stir up war every day.
3 They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s;
    the poison of vipers is on their lips.[b]
4 Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
    protect me from the violent,
    who devise ways to trip my feet.
5 The arrogant have hidden a snare for me;
    they have spread out the cords of their net
    and have set traps for me along my path.
6 I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”
    Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.
7 Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer,
    you shield my head in the day of battle.
8 Do not grant the wicked their desires, Lord;
    do not let their plans succeed.
9 Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
    may the mischief of their lips engulf them.
10 May burning coals fall on them;
    may they be thrown into the fire,
    into miry pits, never to rise.
11 May slanderers not be established in the land;
    may disaster hunt down the violent.
12 I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor
    and upholds the cause of the needy.
13 Surely the righteous will praise your name,
    and the upright will live in your presence.

Satan's Headquarters Part 1



In Ephesians 6:12 Paul makes it very clear that, as Christians, we are involved in a life and death struggle with a highly-organized kingdom peopled by evil, rebellious spirit-beings and that the headquarters of this kingdom is in the heavenly realm.

The phrase, "the heavenly realm," raises a particular problem in the minds of Christians.  If Satan was cast out heaven long ago, how then can he still occupy a place in the heavenly realm?

Let's answer this question by pointing out some passages that describe events that took place long after the initial rebellion and casting down of Satan by God.  These passages indicate that Satan still had access to the presence of God in heaven at that time. Job 1:6-7 6 one day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them.  7. The Lord said to Satan, "Where have you came from?"  Satan answered the Lord, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."

Almost exactly the same incident is recorded again in Job 2:1-2 1 On another day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them to present himself before him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, "Where have you come from?  Satan answered the Lord, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."

So at that time, which was in the days of Job, we see that Satan still had direct access to the presence of the Lord.  When God's angels came to present themselves and report to the Lord Satan was there among them.  The passages seems to indicate that the other angels did not identify Satan.  I can understand this because in 2 Corinthians 11:14, Paul says that Satan is transformed as "as an angel of light."  The passage states that the only one who could identify Satan was the Lord.  Apparently, he could appear in the presence of  angels and not be detected. We will discuss more in Part 2 of Satan's Headquarters.
