'Judge not lest you be judged' - We are all judging God so...

GOD can judge us

I just wonder how many people who have read the bible and been harsh with their own judgement of God. When God was angry and punished cities or people or his involvement with Job, etc... we are all very vocal in our judgement of what we are reading.

I predict all those who judge God will be judged by God and all those who have not judged God will not be judged.

That seems fair? Scripture also states it:

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you (Matthew 7:12).”

I dont believe any of it nor have I ever judged God since I really dont believe in that either so I will be fine.


Cheers!!!!

once again. why do you assume that the bible is real? the bible is not the word of god. it was written by man, man is flawed. therefore bible is flawed.

It doesn't really matter if it's real or isn't. Look what people have done with it?

yes people have wasted their life on it. but does that make them right?

Isn't the answer simple - God knows everything and knows we will judge them anyway because He gave us free will!!! I'd like to believe there is something out there that controls what happens to our soul/spirit/whatever after we die and sometimes He can be an a..hole. I was even nice enough to capitalize the H in He.

So not judging God is what the trick is to avoid Judgement Day?

Thanks for the heads up, I have been looking for the loophole.

ha ha, maybe it is that simple? Not 100% sure really but I was thinking about it, my opinions of things I have read in the bible and then it occurred to me that I was being judgemental...then straight after that, I remembered the scripture and lmao...thought oh no... now I am open for judgement... lol

Maybe it teaches us some important lessons?

Many are judging God by trying to claim that the scriptures He has inspired are corrupt because men are not perfect.

God is more than able to use imperfect men to write something that is not corrupted.
It is just another lame excuse people use in their defense why they reject God.

Another lame excuse is people denying Jesus for who He is because they say He either did not exist or because they say Jesus was as imperfect as any other human being.

It is true that Jesus was made a little lower than the angels, but this does not mean Jesus was as imperfect as other human beings.
Every other human has sinned, but Jesus never sinned, therefore Jesus is as perfect as God, seeing He is also God.

Rejecting Jesus for who He is reveals that a person has judged God to be incapable of taking on flesh to deliver His created humans from themselves.
Reject Jesus and you will have judged God in a way that will be unforgivable, if you should die that way.

The ultimate judgment of God is in rejecting His Christ.
The antichrist will stand by this form of misjudgment of God, and if anyone accepts this beast's judgment of God they will receive the same punishment the beast will deserve.

There is only one way, and that way is found only in Jesus Christ.
Do not die being guilty of judging wrongly concerning Jesus Christ.
Denying Christ is the biggest slap in the face you could ever offer God.

If god uses an "imperfect man" to write the bible, then what Tesla is saying is that it is flawed by mans association. What you're saying is that God is so perfect that he can channel his perfection through an imperfect being. Then by your own definition doesn't that imply that as imperfect beings we all have the potential to think/feel and write as Gods?

IMO it would cause a lot less interpretive misunderstandings if we instead just focused on the source (nature) and discussed/nurtured the resonance between ourselves and our surroundings.

Peace

The one thing that is confusing and is somewhat contradictive is that Christ states he judges no man:

John 8:15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man

and yet prophecy states God will judge:

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person

Revelations

hmm so those that are without God, God judges? Perhaps it is because those with God or believe in God do not judge God?

hmm yes, I have heard that, but it is also written in the Bible that the word was inspired by God:

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add[j] to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away[k] his part from the Book[l] of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
