A noise shall come even to
ends of
earth; for
Lord hath a controversy with
nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to
sword, saith
Lord. Jeremiah 25:31As it would seem, there is no earthly place to hide from others trying to judge our actions, heart, and motive ...
For
son dishonoureth
father,
daughter riseth up against her mother,
daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are
men of his own house. Micah 7:6
and often without a clue as to
work God is doing within us.
Therefore judge nothing before
time, until
Lord come, who both will bring to light
hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest
counsels of
hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 1 Cor. 4:5
We sell our own into slavery, to
highest bidder ...
For we know that
law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Romans 7:14
without realizing
consequence of judging applies to us ...
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest
same things. Romans 2:1
which cannot be excused ...
For
wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold
truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For
invisible things of him from
creation of
world are clearly seen, being understood by
things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:18-21
and we do so without correct interpretation of scripture.
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto
righteousness of God. Romans 10:3
Thus saith
Lord; Cursed be
man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from
Lord. Jeremiah 17:5
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For
wrath of man worketh not
righteousness of God. James 1:19-20
The law is spiritual. Romans 7:14
That which is born of
flesh is flesh; and that which is born of
Spirit is spirit. John 3:6
They which are
children of
flesh, these are not
children of God: but
children of
promise are counted for
seed. Romans 9:8
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in
flesh. Romans 2:28
Now to him that worketh is
reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth
ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 4:4-5
And they that are Christ's have crucified
flesh with
affections and lusts. Galatians 5:24
For we are
circumcision, which worship God in
spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in
flesh. Philip. 3:3
In whom also ye are circumcised with
circumcision made without hands, in putting off
body of
sins of
flesh by
circumcision of Christ. Col. 2:11
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus
Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in
faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after
tradition of men, after
rudiments of
world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all
fulness of
Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is
head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with
circumcision made without hands, in putting off
body of
sins of
flesh by
circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through
faith of
operation of God, who hath raised him from
dead.
And you, being dead in your sins and
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out
handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of
way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of
new moon, or of
sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but
body is of Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding
Head, from which all
body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with
increase of God. Col. 2:6-19
