"HE THAT IS SPIRITUAL JUDGES ALL THINGS, YET HE HIMSELF IS JUDGED OF NO MAN." (1 Corinthians 2:15) Jesus stood before Governor Pilate answering him in silence. He did nothing to defend himself, for he would be "JUDGED OF NO MAN."
Pilate went before the multitude gathered outside, telling them he found "NO FAULT" in Jesus. The Lord had given him nothing to take hold of regarding his Life.
Since "HE THAT IS SPIRITUAL JUDGES ALL THINGS,..." who is spiritual? Most Christians insist they are spiritual and many sinners presume themselves to be spiritual out of "THE PRIDE OF THIS WORLD."
Men have built great religious works in the visible world and are revered for them. Yet, the kingdom anointing does not come by observation. Watch out for those who say, "LO HERE! OR, LO THERE! FOR, BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU."(St. Luke 17:20) Jesus told his devout disciples who had taken up the cross of the living sacrifice to follow the Master. Yet, when Christians hear such a verse quoted, they have come to think it pertains to them even though they are not living sacrifices for God.
What Jesus meant when he said, "THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU..." to his disciples, was The fullness of the anointing of the Spirit is within you.
Anyone who is convinced by what they see in the visible world is not spiritual but is carnally minded.
If visible works were evidence men were spiritual, the apostles and prophets would have left great visible works behind for a testimony. Those Christians who are building great visible works are usually puffed up in conceit over them. (Proverbs 18:11) A man fully occupied in storing up treasures upon the earth is not storing up treasures in heaven. Do not be deceived by their boastings.
The Gospel is high performance. It's an overcome the flesh Gospel. Danger accompanied Jesus Christ, but he didn't give fear the time of day.
Peter, the fisherman, walked toward the Master on the same storming waters. He knew the raging sea could swallow him in a gulp. When the winds blew furiously upon him, he feared. Perfect faith and fear cannot reside in the same human vessel at the same time.
Peter sunk into devouring waters but Jesus reached out mightily to pull him out in supernatural quickness. There were other future apostles in the boat who did not try to go out to Jesus. What would you have done? It would have been foolish for them to attempt it in their own will. That is why Peter commanded Jesus to Bid him to come.
Are you really spiritual? Christians are insufficiently skillful to judge all things. But Saints who studied to "SHOW THEMSELVES APPROVED OF GOD" usually come to know the Word which is Spirit. "THE WORDS I SPEAK UNTO YOU ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE." (St. John 6:63) Jesus told his listeners.
Judgment is revealed by the Spirit. There are times when the Lord judged through the Apostles after the Ascension. Such was the case of Annanias and Safira dropping dead at the feet of Saint Peter.
God sits in Judgment every day upon everything taking place upon earth, and
throughout His infinitely growing Universe.
When we die, our judgment for good or for evil is
done.
THE JUDGE OF ALL judges our judgments,
whether they be of Him or of darkness.
God judges the fruit of our lives to discern whether we did our works to show our love
and dedication to Him or to promote ourselves as so many do. Temptation will surely
arise all along the way your life takes just so long as you remain imperfect. Become
perfected in Christ in the beautifull divine Presence He is without and within in His Holiness.
Study this document regarding judgment and divide the Word
properly between Saints and Christians.
Christians should discern to the best of their ability,
and every Christian is warned in holy Scripture by the Lord to
"JUDGE NOT LEST YOU BE JUDGED" (St. Matthew 7:1/4).
Discernment is a skill Christians should work on.
If you remain a Christian all the days of your life, you will be better served to avoid
judging others since you are not "A WORKMAN WHO NEEDS NOT BE ASHAMED."
Those who advance into Sainthood are given the Spirit of the
anointing
"TO REPROVE, REBUKE AND EXHORT
WITH ALL LONGSUFFERING
AND DOCTRINE"
"SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE." Reproving, rebuking
and exhorting all require discernment where their senses have
been exercised by use to judge righteously in correcting others.
Christians tend to be confused by church dogma and a lack of
skill in interpreting holy Scripture so their representation of
the gospel is often in error in many ways.
A Saint is commanded by the Lord to
"JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY" but a Christian is commanded
to "JUDGE NOT, LEST YOU BE JUDGED."
The problem for Churchmen in America is a lack of discernment
over their classification before God and Christ.
Christians in America think they are Saints and are virtually
unaware there is a difference between themselves and the true
Saints of God.
Let us consider therefore what some of the greater Saints did in
judgment.
Elijah did not kill the enemies of God by himself. Elijah was not
just a man. He was the "NEW MAN"
in Christ. When he called fire
down from heaven upon the fifty officers sent from the king to
arrest him without a just cause, it was Christ in him calling
fire down from heaven; and God in heaven brought the fire down
upon them. Elijah like ourselves could do nothing by himself.
Likewise Moses did not judge Pharoah alone. It was Christ in Moses
who judged Pharoah with plague after plague. And when Moses led
the people of Israel out of Egypt it was Christ in him who parted
the Red Sea and buried Pharoah and his army in it.
Likewise, God spoke audibly to
Ezekiel who being Jewish was not naturally inclined to
judge his own people:
And here is what God said to Ezekiel:
"NOW, SON OF MAN, WILL YOU JUDGE, WILL YOU
JUDGE THE BLOODY CITY? YEA, YOU SHALL SHOW HER ALL
HER ABOMINATIONS." (Ezekiel 22:2) So it comes into
the Light that the saintly Prophet of God does not
judge of his own self alone, but is obligated to
"EXECUTE THE LORD'S JUDGMENT."
If only one Christian in all world says presumptously that he
hears the LORD God audibly, that is too many. Yet there are many
Christians in the world saying they hear the audible voice of
God when they do not hear the Lord at all. Some are liars who
become wolves. Others want to be accepted by the church, so they
pretend to be gifted in the Spirit.
Saints grow to hear the voice of God audibly if they remain on the
path to spiritual perfection in Christ.
It is important to know your classification before as you
study the chart on judgment. As you study the chart, you should
also be able to foresee what judgments to expect in your life
if you do not cease from certain sins. In addition, you may come
across judgments which have fallen already on those you know,
and by perceiving it; you may be able to increase your faith.
There was a devout man who labored in the Word of God
regularly while running his business to support his
family whose wife divorced him to marry a man whose career
enriched him materially, and in
doing so they took the man's only son from him. Years later,
the son found his natural father and told him
there had been fifteen years of trouble in their family.
The judgment written had taken place. His Mother and step
father had brought the curse of God's judgment upon themselves
as it is written:
"IF
YOU DO EVIL TO THEM WHO DO GOOD, EVIL SHALL NOT
DEPART FROM YOUR HOUSE."
A Saint may experience the greater responsibility to:
"EXECUTE THE JUDGMENT WRITTEN." So it is important for
a Saint to know the judgment written so
they may know what they are hearing in the Spirit lines up with the
Word.
If a spirit tells a Saint to execute a judgment not
found in the list below from
the Scriptures, there is just cause to suspect God is
not speaking to him. It is
probably a deceiving spirit.
Judging others does not prove you are spiritual,
dear Christian, in fact many out of
"ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE"
make fools of themselves judging others.
There are many critical spirits in
the body of Christ. Many judge others for not believing
what they believe or for not doing what they think they ought to do.
Since Christians are not spiritually perfected, they ought not
to expect others to walk in their light. Christ warns believers
saying,
"IF THE LIGHT THAT IS IN YOU IS DARKNESS, HOW GREAT
IS THAT DARKNESS?"
In teaching to judge, the Lord said:
"JUDGE NOT ACCORDING
TO APPEARANCE, BUT
JUDGE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT."
(St. John 7:24) In warning against judging according to appearances,
the Lord was warning against judging according to what you see
visibly. The Lord would have believers
"discern between good and
evil." (Hebrews 5:14)
Good and evil are the
consequence of the
invisible
"THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART." (Hebrews
4:12) To discern between them, a judge ought to be full of
understanding of the Spirit of the Word of God.
Many Christians claim the gift of
discernment while having
little ability to discern their pride is speaking. To have the
gift of discernment a Christian needs to "STUDY TO SHOW THEMSELVES
APPROVED OF GOD" to be called into Sainthood where having hidden
"THE WORD OF GOD IN THEIR HEART, THAT THEY MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST
GOD," the Saints are enabled by the Spirit of the Word to discern
"THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART" not only of their own
selves, but of others.
Many novices to make false claims. (1 Timothy 3:5)
They are like clouds
without rain. (Proverbs 25:14) Their supposed gift of discernment
has no substance
to it. Yet, righteous judgments cannot take place without spiritual
discernment.
The apostles were wrongly perceived as
"the filth and offscouring" of the world.
(1 Corinthians 4:13) by Christians in the early churches
who had not walked in their sandals.
Saint Paul wanted them to perceive the apostles in a better
light. (2 Corinthians 10:15) He even
went so far as to threaten to come with
"a rod" if they did not correct their
behaviour toward him. The rod he was speaking of,
involved his ability to
EXECUTE THE JUDGMENT WRITTEN.
There is another major obstacle to Christians
judging others:
Saint Paul wrote:
"And did it occur
to you, Oh man, you who judge them which do such things,
and do the same, that you
shall escape the judgment of God?"
(Romans 2:3 KJV paraphrased) The great Saint was saying hypocritical
Christians have forfeited the right
to judge righteous judgment and were in danger
of being judged themselves. If you know you are but "child of God,"
then you are to study the Word more and build your discernment.
Let others more advanced than you spiritually, take on the greater
responsibility and liability of judging.
Jesus spoke mystically of a log in the eye; in warning
against judging others when you own spiritual house is not
yet in order:
"AND WHY DO YOU LOOK UPON THE SPECK IN YOUR BROTHER'S EYE,
BUT CONSIDER NOT THE LOG IN YOUR OWN EYE? OR HOW WILL YOU SAY TO
YOUR BROTHER, 'LET ME PICK THE SPECK OUT OF YOUR EYE; AND, LOOK,
A LOG IS IN YOUR OWN EYE? YOU HYPOCRITE, FIRST CAST THE LOG OUT OF
YOUR OWN EYE; AND THEN SHALL YOU SEE CLEARLY TO PICK THE
SPECK OUT OF YOUR BROTHER'S EYE." (St. Matthew 7 paraphrased)
Just as soon as a Christian judges the inconsequential things
their brother is doing wrong while there yet remains a log in their
own eye, they make themselves to be a hypocrite in the sight of
the Lord. Avoid being a know it all dear Christian. Avoid making
yourself the reprover of other Christians when you are not yet
called into Sainthood by the Lord where the log will fall out of
your eye in the anointing of the Spirit. Why should you become a
critical spirit and make yourself and others miserable? The Lord
does not call believers to make fools of themselves.
Christians worldwide
lack the vision of the anointing in this wicked and
perverse generation and think
there is no log in their own eyes because
"EVERY MAN'S
WAYS ARE CLEAN IN THEIR OWN EYES."
There are many Christians
in the world today who have given up one or two major vices
such as drunkeness and drug abuse and think themselves
capable of judging others when they have simply returned to
normal and are no better than many a sinner who
is not possessed of such vices.
The log will not be removed from your eyes until
you have totally died to yourself
to come forth into the power of Christ. You will not know
what log is in your
eye until you see clearly in the Spirit of Christ through his
"SEEING EYE."
(Proverbs 20:12)
A Saint moving in singleness of eye has
his whole body
"FULL OF LIGHT." (St. Matthew 6:22)
Saint Paul was not suggesting Christians
should leave off judging their children's behaviour.
He was not suggesting teachers cease
judging their students performance. Neither was he suggesting
employers cease judging their
employees behaviour and workmanship nor should judges and juries
quit their jobs.
Every society has to
judge criminals or anarchy will
terrorize their civilization like Hitler's mob did in Germany.
Every teacher has to judge the performance of their students or
the students are left without any idea of whether they are learning
the material at hand. Every child has to be properly judged and
punished for wrong behaviour by their parents or they will grow
up to be foolish and unruly citizens.
God expects those who are skillful in the Word
to judge heretics and cast them out of the Churches.
Christians are to judge fornicators and
adulterers to the extent they do not sit with them.
The Apostle Paul said,
"I wrote unto you in an Epistle not to company
with fornicators:
YET NOT ALTOGETHER with the fornicators of
this world, or with the covetous,
or extortioners, or with idolaters;
for then you must leave this world. But now I have written
unto you NOT TO KEEP COMPANY,
if any man that is called a
brother be a fornicator, or covetous,
or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner;
with such an one no not to eat.
(1 Corinthians 5:9/11)
The apostle is saying, Discern and avoid them. As a Christian
with a spiritual log in your own eye, you are not to judge
them.
Saint Paul wrote to Saints, saying:
"DO YOU NOT KNOW SAINTS SHALL JUDGE
THE WORLD? AND IF THE WORLD SHALL BE JUDGED BY YOU,
ARE YOU UNWORTHY TO JUDGE THE SMALLEST MATTERS?
KNOW YE NOT WE SHALL JUDGE ANGELS?
HOW MUCH MORE THINGS PERTAINING TO THIS LIFE?
(1 Corinthians 6:3) If you are not sure you are a Saint,
then you are not a Saint; and are not to judge, but are
to exercise discernment to protect yourself from the
corrupting influences of others.
When the Word tells us
"THE LABORERS ARE FEW," God is speaking of
the Saints. Religious leaders claim the churches "EQUIP THE SAINTS."
But the holy Spirit "EQUIPS THE SAINTS." Were religious leaders
Saints, they would know what a Saint is. It is wonderful you have
found a church congregation where you are inspired, but do not
be so easily confused dear Christian into believing there is even
one Saint among you. There is not one church in America that has
produced a Saint.
Most christians in America believe they are
already Saints. They are
taught in the churches throughout the land they
received it all in the baptism of
the holy Ghost. Salvation is free, but
Sainthood is earned daily by dying to self
and entering into the Spirit of the anointing.
Does this mean Christians should cease from attempting to preach
the gospel in public? Oh no, not at all! Let's examine your
role as a Christian witness in public.
Anyone who has declared the gospel on college campuses will
hear sinful students
calling out
JUDGE NOT, LEST YOU BE JUDGED!!! They haven't read
the Bible but they think they know all about that deep and sacred
verse in the gold mine of holy Sripture and will try to run behind it, not knowing the Word of
God as a whole.
You ought not to condemn them, but tell them the truth. You are
not declaring the gospel to judge them. God
would have them judge themselves.
"THE WAGES OF SIN ARE DEATH,"
and if they find themselves guilty of sin, they ought to repent of
their sins unto God and accept Christ as Saviour. Tell them
it is written in the Word of God,
"HE WHO COVERS THEIR WINS WILL
NOT PROSPER." Encourage them
to "HIDE THE WORD OF GOD IN THEIR
HEART THAT THEY MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST GOD."
The public likes to judge Christian witnesses with labels: In this way
they hope to justify themselves by condemning believers.
They call us: "Hatemongers,"
"bigots," "Jesus Freaks." "Far Right'ists!"
Now, who is judging?
The names of Jimmy Swaggart, and Jim Bakker were thrown up into the
faces of public witnesses for years after their sins made their way into
the national media.
Sinners are quick to judge.
They are hypocrites and do not
perceive it matters. "All the ways of man are
clean in his own eyes:" (Proverbs 16:2) That is why believers
should "SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE."
But please do not mis-appropriate the word Love for you to do anything
beggers and thieves want you to do.
Your ultimate challenge is to master all things, to overcome all evil, to remain pure from
all worldly evils, to hunger and thirst after righteousness to be filled, to sing his praises
and pray his prayers and make his proclamations in public as well as in private everwhere
you go as a living sacrifice.
Judgment is one of many difficult
studies in holy Scripture.
Please be patient.
Few will master it in this lifetime.
Few will ever hear Jesus tell them audibly:
"YOU HAVE RIGHTLY JUDGED." (St. Luke 7:43)
But "THE MOUTH OF THE RIGHTEOUS SPEAKS
WISDOM, AND HIS TONGUE TALKS OF JUDGMENT."
(Psalm 37:30) When you see a reference to the righteous
in holy Scripture, the Author is speaking of the Saints. The
righteous are spiritual and
"THE SPIRITUAL MAN JUDGES ALL THINGS."
The spiritual man speaks of judgment to
instruct others
and to sharpen his mind to
JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY.
Jeremiah the Prophet said the
LORD God made him
"A MAN OF CONTENTION
TO THE WHOLE EARTH," (Jeremiah 15:10)
not as someone going around arguing and fighting with others, but
as a man of God speaking his judgments. Jeremiah
the Prophet will become known in the world to come as a "MAN OF
CONTENTION."
Saintly Prophets reprove, rebuke and exhort with all longsuffering and
doctrine and ultimately
EXECUTES THE JUDGMENT WRITTEN by speaking in the Spirit.
It is written:
"Let the Saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon
their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a
two edged sword in their
hand; to
EXECUTE VENGEANCE upon the heathen, and
punishments upon the people;
to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles
with fetters of iron; to
EXECUTE UPON THEM THE JUDGMENT WRITTEN;
this honour have all his
Saints. Praise the LORD."
(Psalm 149:5/9)
Now here is the study prepared for you from the sacred Scriptures
of the authorized King James version of the Bible: May God help
you to learn properly what he would teach you by his
Spirit in regard to judging:
If you will permit me, I will introduce you to
THE GLITTERING SWORD JUDGMENT process. In the following Biblical texts you
will read about Ezekiel the Prophet's interactions with God Almighty in carrying
out his judgments upon backslidden Israel, but the judgment prophecy does not stop
there. It involves the judgment of Antichrist himself. Quite a fascinating judgment
prophecy. Read it carefully. You will see God manifesting judgment through his
Prophet. You will hear the words God tells him to speak and the instructions God
gives the Prophet on how to multiply the Word he is to speak:
Eze 21:2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word
toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
Eze 21:3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold,
I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will
cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
Eze 21:4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the
wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all
flesh from the south to the north:
Eze 21:5 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have
drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
Eze 21:6 Sigh therefore, you son of man, with the breaking of your
loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
Eze 21:7 And it shall be, when they say unto you, Why do you sigh?
you shall answer, For the tidings; because it comes: and every heart shall
melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all
knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and shall be brought to
pass, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 21:8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 21:9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say,
A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
Eze 21:10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is
furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth
the rod of my son, as every tree.
Eze 21:11 And he has given it to be furbished, that it may be handled:
this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Eze 21:12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people,
it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword
shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon your thigh.
Eze 21:13 Because it is A TRIAL, and what if the sword contemn even
the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 21:14 You therefore, son of man,
prophesy, and smite your hands together, and let the sword be doubled
the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of
the great men that are slain, which enter into their private chambers.
Eze 21:15 I have set the point of the sword against all their
gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah!
it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
Eze 21:16 Go one way or the other, either on the right hand, or
on the left, whithersoever your face is set.
Eze 21:17 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my
fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
Eze 21:18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
Eze 21:19 Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword
of the king of Babylon may come: both shall come forth out of one land:
and choose a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
Eze 21:20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the
Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
Eze 21:21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way,
at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright,
he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
Eze 21:22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to
appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the
voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to
cast a mount, and to build a fort.
Eze 21:23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their
sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the
iniquity, that they may be taken.
Eze 21:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because you have made
your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered,
so in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, you are come to
remembrance, you shall be taken with the hand.
Eze 21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come,
when iniquity shall have an end,
Eze 21:26 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown:
this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
Eze 21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more,
until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him.
Eze 21:28 And you, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD
concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say you, The sword,
the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the
glittering:
Eze 21:29 While they see vanity unto you, while they divine a lie unto
you, to bring you upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day
is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
Eze 21:30 Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge you
in the place where you were created, in the land of your birth.
Eze 21:31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon you, I will blow
against you in the fire of my wrath, and deliver you into the hand of brutish men,
who are skillful to destroy.
Eze 21:32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in
the midst of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
You have been alerted concerning Christian rights and responsibilities to judge not
while Saints are sometimes enabled to judge all things and be judged of no man. A Saint
in the Spirit enters into oneness with God and God is one with him (2 Corinthians 6:16),
and is capable of speaking divine utterance. When God speaks through
a Saint, God may be EXECUTING THE JUDGMENT WRITTEN from
"God to man."
When you read about the judgments God worked through Moses upon Egypt, Joshua
upon Jericho, Elijah upon the fifties sent to arrest him, and so on; you are reading of
"God to Man" judgments. Ezekiel's glittering sword
judgments were "God to man."
A Christians right and responsibility to judge is limited to "Man to Man"
judgments rather than "God to man:" In Chapter eighteen of the book of Ezekiel, the
Prophet gives forth a teaching where he mentions "Man to Man" judgment that should re-inforce
your determination to judge only when necessary, so you might become skillful in judgment,
but not with any claims to divine utterance.
"Did you not know the Saints shall judge the world?"
(1 Corinthians 6:2) A Saint has power with God when filled with the Spirit of
the anointing.
"For the Lord LOVES JUDGMENT and
forsakes not his Saints; they are preserved forever: but the seed of the wicked
shall be cut off." (Psalm 37:28) Throughout this chapter of the Prophet's writings,
you will also discover how God's judgments are equal.
Lets examine what the Prophet Ezekiel has to say in Chapter eighteen
about "Man to Man" judgments for a better idea of what you ought and ought
not to judge, and how you ought to live a holy life so you will not invite
judgment from God upon yourself:
"The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying:
"What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of
Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are
set on edge?
"As I live, saith the Lord GOD, you shall not have occasion any
more to use this proverb in Israel.
"Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also
the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.
"But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
"And has not eaten upon the mountains, neither has lifted up
his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbour's
wife, neither has come near to a menstruous woman,
"And has not oppressed any, but has restored to the debtor his
pledge, has spoiled none by violence, has given his bread to the hungry, and
has covered the naked with a garment;
"He who has not given forth upon usury, neither has taken any
increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has
EXECUTED TRUE JUDGMENT BETWEEN
MAN AND MAN,
"Has walked in my statutes, and has kept my judgments,
to deal truly; HE IS JUST,
he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
"If he conceives a son that is a robber, a shedder of
blood, who does the like to any one of these things,
"And that does not any of those duties, but even has
eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
"Has oppressed the poor and needy, has spoiled by
violence, hath not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes
to the idols, has committed abomination,
"Has given forth upon usury, and has taken increase:
shall he then live? he shall not live: he has done all these
abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
"Now, lo, if he conceives a son, who sees all his
father's sins which he has done, and considers, and does not such like,
"That has not eaten upon the mountains, neither has
lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not
defiled his neighbour's wife,
"Neither has oppressed any, has not withheld the
pledge, neither has spoiled by violence, but has given his bread
to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment,
"That has taken off his hand from the poor, that
has not received usury nor increase, has executed my judgments,
has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of
his father, he shall surely live.
"As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed,
spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good
among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
"Yet you say, Why? does not the son bear the
iniquity of the father? When the son has done that which is
lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done
them, he shall surely live.
"The soul that sins, it shall die. The son
shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall
the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness
of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of
the wicked shall be upon him.
"But if the wicked will turn from all his sins
he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which
is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
"All his transgressions he has committed, they
shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness he has
done he shall live.
"Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked
should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return
from his ways, and live?
"But when the righteous turns away from his
righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according
to all the abominations the wicked man does, shall he live?
All his righteousness he has done shall not be mentioned: in
his trespass he has trespassed, and in his sin he has sinned,
in them shall he die.
"Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not equal.
Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
"When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness,
and commits iniquity, and dies in them; for his iniquity that he has
done shall he die.
"Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness
that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right,
he shall save his soul alive.
"Because he considers, and turns away from all
his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he
shall not die.
"Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord
is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not
your ways unequal?
"Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel,
every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and
turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall

SUMMARY:
"Surely the LORD God will do nothing, but he reveals his secret unto
his servants the Prophets. The Lion has roared, who will not fear? the LORD
God has spoken, who can but prophesy?" (Amos 3:8) "To do justice and judgment
is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice." (Proverbs 21:3) "The Lord loves
judgment and forsakes not his Saints; they are preserved forever: but the seed of
the wicked shall be cut off." (Psalm 37:28) "Happy is he who has the God of Jacob
for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: who made heaven, and earth, the
sea, and all that therein is: who keeps truth forever: who
EXECUTES JUDGMENT FOR THE OPPRESSED:" who
gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners: The LORD opens the
eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the
righteous: The LORD preserves the strangers: he relieves the fatherless and widow:
but the way of the wicked he turns upside down. The LORD shall reign for ever,
even your God, O'Zion, unto all generations. Praise the LORD!!!" (Psalm 146:5/10)
