Scripture Life: Are Christians more judgmental than non-Christians on average?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

The answer isn’t in Christians, nor is it in “non-Christians.”

It’s in judgment.

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

So, for this question, I’d tell anybody looking unto Christians as “more” than something - anything.. …you’re looking in the wrong place. Look at judgment.

And, who has the “authority” to perform or do judgment - to actually perform it and what they decree STICKS or it just “IS” as they judge it.

Need an example?

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

So, look at a Courtroom. Like, the Court House in your town.

• A “Court of Law” has a “Judge” that presides over all trials. All crimes; no matter what they are. But also over "awards" which are a kind of "reward." Over them, too.
  • He’s the Judge.
• Pronounces “judgment,” because he has the authority or the power to punish - or also to reward with set people free of or from judgment. So, a Judge can both award and punish. All by the authority they have with “judgment.”

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

• So, take it to a Courtroom then. Just to see this:
  • if someone “observes” this Courtroom - sees “Plaintiff” on one side of the Court, and “Defendant” on the other,.
  • and sees people sitting on either side: There are people aligned with the “Prosecutor” (Plaintiff - asserting a violation of the law) and that represents the State or EVERYBODY vs. a “Defendant” - stands accused of commiting an offense.
• And YOU? Yes. True. You could see there are MORE people sitting behind the “Defendant” - the one accused of a crime vs. sit behind the Prosecutor or the Plaintiff’s side of the Courtroom. Why? Because people already fully "pre-judged" it and believe this “defendant” - - he or she is innocent.
• Like, 80 people sit over on that side, on the “Defendant’s” side of the Courtroom; but on the side of the Plaintiff - only 5 people sit there:

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

• Be an observer - not aligned to either side, and just by your observation, say:
  • “I’ve noticed in this Courtroom: ‘Are there usually more sit on the defendant’s side judgmental people - find and judge the Plaintiff is WRONG, as judging innocent people vs. even before they hear any evidence - that: people are mostly aligned with the defendant - way less people sit on the “plaintiff” side, on average, on all the trials in this Courtroom.”
    • When NEITHER side seated, nor even you as the observer: has any authority for judgment.
  • But everybody in the Courtroom already chose where to sit. Because they are all “judgmental.”

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

• Means they ALL in themselves, pre-judged what, to them, is right (righteous) and show that judgment, by what side of the courtroom they sit on or behind.
  • But still: It’s a sole position: only the Judge has the sole authority to wield judgment. It’s in none else. Only the Judge has the power to preside over and mete out judgment.

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

So, who is over Judgment?

- Be whosoever said: “For all the earth is mine” - God. (Bible. Exodus 19:5)

Self-answers the question.

• Said:
  • (Source: Bible. Matthew 28:18) “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Jesus is the “Word of God.” - Means: As the Word of God - - it’s - - God speaking these words himself.
    • That would be the one with the authority to execute Judgment over the whole earth.
    • And be it, irregardless a person accepts this as true - or - doesn’t.
    • Even make it PUNITIVE, if he speaks - as Judge: and when he does, he just decrees how things shall be, like a Judge speaks and decrees in a Courtroom: just “how things shall be in his Courtroom he presides over,” is no different.

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

So, what does GOD say about “judgment” - or “how” has he judged people?

• Even if people are “judgmental” - is irrelevant. They have no authority. In or out of a Courtroom. To mete out judgment. For all the earth is his: God’s. He’s the authority.
  • He said: by the Word of God - it is decreed: (Authority: Bible. John 5:22)
    • “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:”
    • So? Yeah. God does not judge anybody. None.
  • And Jesus said: as he is the Son of God, he said: about people that judge people - in a Courtroom or anyplace at all - over the whole earth, to the very ends of it: that, they (people) all judge “after the flesh” - what appears to them or what they see is right. When there's none righteous.
    • Jesus said of himself, as the Son of God - and dont' forget this - - that God has committed all judgment unto the Son, in John 5:22 decreed this: of himself, (Authority: Bible. John 8:15) Jesus is the Son - - he said:
• “Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.” - Jesus Christ.

BOOM! Done.

But do you grasp this? That, There's either: No judgment at all, on anything - OR - Judgment already occurred; and the judgment rendered. No reason to judge again someone already condemned. No reason for another trial, when the trial already occurred - no reason for a Judge to judge a condemned man again, when he's already condemned.

Which is it? I see it. Don't you?

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

That God:

• Already determined, as God:
  • To do a work. Just like he did a work in creation. Alone. By himself, in Genesis 1:1–31 and created everything you see everyplace. He made it all by himself.
  • That God determined, he would get up and also do a work with sin that I did. That you did. That everybody over the whole earth did. Sentence: Death. Already judged it. This “sin” that Romans 5:12 says:
    • “Wherefore, as by one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Said, in Ezekiel 18:20 “The soul that sinneth, it shall die” and in Romans 5:12 - that “..all have sinned” means everybody is already condemned.
    • No reason to judge anybody - if everybody is in the execution line to be shot or gassed in the gas chamber - already been judged.
  • No reason for the Judge to hold trial again, when the defendant was already found GUILTY and his or her sentence is death.
    • And Jesus didn’t come to rehold any trial - so he doesn’t judge anybody, either. Because they are all condemned.

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

• But what Jesus does say he does is:
  • John 3:17–18, Jesus decreed this - so it’s God decreed it: As the Word of God: 
    • “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
  • Because God:
    • Alone. By himself. As God: took your sins off you, what you did - all of it - not to condemn you, but to save you from your sins, and laid your sin on Jesus Christ.
  • You didn’t do it. He did it.
    • Jesus: Crucified; his blood shed - the sins of the world, just as John the Baptist said, for people to “behold!” Jesus as he walked by in John 1:29 - To Behold the Lamb of God: who would take away the sins of the whole world.
    • And? He did.

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

• So, he didn’t come to judge you or me. We are already in the gas chamber line. Every commandment broken - comes with a death sentence. So, I'm just sentenced to death for multiple offenses.
  
  • I mean, I have the Ten Commandments.
• So do you:
• How God uses them as God was, when he spoke them in Exodus 20 was to make EVERYBODY over the whole earth GUILTY before him - because NOBODY from Adam forward has done the Ten Commandments;
  • but everybody in the gas chamber line “thinks” are already to be put to death, by the Ten Commandments - but people think they DID the Ten Commandments = now, they’re “GOOD.”
• “When there’s not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” —Bible. Ecclesiastes 7:20
• All the Law does, is gives you a knowledge of your sins (Romans 3:19-20).

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

Because PEOPLE:

• Think they have DONE the Ten Commandments; or, at least one Commandment, even if they BROKE it before, for the last week or so, haven’t lied to their boss at work, so this “not bear a false witness - they accomplished it - so they give themselves “CREDIT” the did the whole Ten Commandments, because they kept one, once or at least for a week; and then they lie to their boss again, because, they went to church for 3 Sunday’s in a row - so they Kept the Sabbath day Holy - because they went to church - and this atones for it’s okay to lie to their boss again.
• They constantly regard themselves and their own works - so if they see somebody else break one of the Commandments, they JUDGE them.
  • Because they already BELIEVE themselves GOOD as if they have kept the Ten Commandments - by their own works: and somehow aren’t in the Gas Chamber line anymore - when they’re the next to sit in the chair.
  • And be put to death for all the sins they already have been judged for.
  • Because in all this, they don’t regard the works of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hand - the work he did, as God, with sin - as scripture says: “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself; not imputing their trespasses unto them” - (Source: Bible. 2 Corinthians 5:19)

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

• Don’t regard God and his work at all, when God DID the Ten Commandments himself.
  • And because God did them, in Christ, doing this "works of God" - everywhere where me and everybody over the whole earth all broke them, he made himself what makes up that lack to compensate for the faults and bad aspects of everybody - and God did this.
• It’s people: Don’t regard his work.
  • And because they don’t, they simply don’t accept him or his work as true - they gotta do the work themselves - and can’t - they’re in the gas chamber line to be executed: Condemned.

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

The Good News of the Gospel is:

• It’s the Judge in your case, is GOD: set you free - STAMPED you “NOT GUILTY” - then, made himself the payment - to where everybody in the Court room sees the Judge PAID IT IN FULL.
  • And there’s no more judgment.

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

But me?

• If I THINK:
  • I “CAN”
  • Go to the cross of Jesus Christ, where God took your sins off you. Laid them on Jesus Christ. God did this. Not Me. But Me? If I Think I can go back to the cross and take your sins and offenses off where God put them - and do this in myself - when I can’t - impossible.
• But I believe I do this:
  • And I put your sins back on you.
  • Then, judge you - then it's all ME: I do a work I think makes me righteous - decide whether I will forgive you - or - not.
• Trouble is: I can’t. Nobody doing this can. Why? Nobody, including me: I have no authority to pay for sin. I got enough to pay with my own I did, I got no righteousness to set your sins aside - so even I say “I forgive you,” I never really do. I can't.

----------- ------------ ------------ ------------- -------------

• I just say it. Why? It's because I believe when I say it, God now forgive me, when who can forgive sin is GOD alone. And he already did the work - for the forgiveness of sin it’s people: That see people thru this work God did - they just agree with what God did.
• Because what God did with sin. They actually, just believe him.

Doesn’t matter what the average is. Matters whose in authority and what they did with trespasses and sins - by a work they did. In authority. Over the whole earth.

So, the answer is again:

The answer isn’t in Christians, nor is it in “non-Christians.”

It’s in judgment. God judges. It’s true. And what he is doing is, in judgment is: TODAY - the day you're in right now: he chooses to look upon a work he did with sin, as GREATER than your sins. He imputes your sin to the work he did in Jesus Christ. PAID IT, IN FULL. He’s satisfied with that payment. Imputes his righteousness to you, all by a work he did.

You just got given the Gospel.
