Judge In The Bible

Improved Essays
There is a good reason God admonishes us not to judge anyone. We simply do not have all the information needed nor will we ever know all that should be known to judge another person or even ourselves.
Only God has all the information and that is why He is the just Judge (Psalm 7:11). We only prophesy is part (1 Corinthians 13:9), so God doesn’t tell us everything, just what we need to know. The Bible tells us, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9.
God made man so He knows what we are able to grasp while we reside in the flesh on this earth. He took time out of eternity so that humans can comprehend the idea of a beginning and an end. In order to reside in eternity, we have to

The Bible says no man has seen God and lived (Exodus 33:20). His glory and power is too much for the human frame. So He gave us Himself through Jesus Christ as the Word (John 1:1). You can pick the Word up, sleep with it on your pillow and read it from cover to cover over and over again. The Word is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is God. So it is there that our relationship with God starts.
If God revealed through His Word moves us to confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we can then know God on another level as the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11). Through this relationship we get a deeper expression of God’s glory and power to carry us through until that day when we will reside in eternity in the presence of God in all His glory and power (Revelation 21). But that is a place and time we have to work our way up to through seeking and engaging God daily.
In His wisdom, God doesn’t expose Himself to us all at once in our human state but guides us to a place and an age where we can see Him in all that He

    God My understanding of God that I can see in the verbatims and in the ministerial situation is a God who prepares the heart of the people to receive him, who forgives his children and who wants the best for each one of them. All of these characteristics can be seen in my conversation with Henry, the man who had left his house for several years and who, after listening to a homily, decided to find his children. During our conversation, I told Henry that God was preparing his heart for that moment of reconciliation. God is the one who has inscribed in our hearts a longing to come back home always, to get closer to him and live with him.…

    The Doctrine and Covenants is a book of divine revelations, given to members of the Church of Jesus Christ, to help further the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom and contains an invitation to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. As one engulfs oneself into the Doctrine and Covenants, one will find out that, just as the Book of Mormon is the keystone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Doctrine and Covenants is a companion to the Book of Mormon and is the capstone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Doctrine and Covenants gives new insight to gospel topics and one can further partake of the bread of life as one drinketh from the pages of the Doctrine and Covenants to come closer to Christ.…

    I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, ( Isaiah 46:9c-10a NASB) Is the God of Process Theology the God of the Bible? This question will be answered in this essay. The God of Scriptures is sovereign (1 Tim. 6:15), immutable (Mal. 3:6), infinite (Jer. 10:10), perfect (Mat. 5:48), and prophetic (Is. 14:24). However, the God of Whitehead’s Process Theology is a source of meaning and reason; it changes and is changed, it is everlasting but imperfect and does not know the future.…

    God’s Being in Act: the Living God After articulating the limitation of human’s knowledge of God , Barth then begins to address the reality of God in light of God’s revelation in himself through which is the only possibility for human to Know God. “God is who He is in the act of His revelation.” This act of revelation is actually an event which is in fact the Word of God, Jesus Christ. Because Jesus Christ is “the same yesterday and to-day and for ever,” God’s being in Jesus Christ is not only “an accomplished fact” but also “an event happening in the present, here and now” and “truly future.” Therefore, the God we are dealing with in Jesus Christ is the “Living God” whose being is life itself.…

    Jesus Judgement Is Unfair

    I never understand why the Pharisees kept testing Jesus even after following him around seeing his miracles and listening him teach. They must have fully know the nature of Jesus but then are surprised that he accepts the sinner even when in chapter 4 where Jesus fully establish unity in all who repent and follow him. However, I am confused why the women faced no comdtionshin or judgment because in the passage she never asked for forgiveness. Im also confused on why it yes that Jesus judgment is true because it is from him and the father (John 8:16) , yet back in John 5 it says that God judges no one but has given the authority to Jesus to judge (John 5:22).…

    In the sixth century, the Christian philosopher Boethius explored the problem of God’s omniscience and the effect it might have on our moral freedom. He was particularly concerned about the judgement of God, and whether it would be equitable of God to praise or blame people if they didn’t have any real moral freedom and were constrained by what God already knew about the future. Boethius wrote his book “The consolations of Philosophy” when he was a prisoner to explain why he, who was believed to be a good Christian, had apparently been abandoned by fortune and God, and left to die by execution. Boethius was troubled by the problem of God’s omniscience, because it seemed on the surface that if God knows the future, he is wrong to reward or punish us for our behaviours. However, the Bible clearly articulates divine reward and punishment.…

    Chapter six of Practicing Christian Doctrine, by Beth Felker Jones, chiefly discusses Christology and the various heresies that have surrounded it over the years. Christology, which is the study of Christ, helps one to learn more about Jesus and his identity and how to live a good Christian life by forming a relationship with the Lord. In order for Christology to work, the person of Jesus must be known and a major idea discussed in this novel is homoousios, Jesus is full and truly God. Two other important characteristics of God found in this chapter are immutability¬¬ and impassibility. Immutability means that God is unchanging and impassibility states that He is never overwhelmed by emotion.…

    In order to fully understand a concept, we must first understand that every statement, argument, and attribution of that concept to be true. Of all concepts that have been pondered by human be-ings, the existence of God seems to be the one that will relate to all of us. This question may not exist every point in our lives; but certainly, there has been one instance in which all of us have wondered just how the earth and everything on or within it came to be. Those closest to us influ-ence our beliefs and opinions, heavily. This can be thought of as a form of assimilation; living in an environment and eventually adopting that environment’s beliefs.…

    When you misjudge someone it is usually on their looks, but other times you think it is right to judge them by their ACTIONS. You think that if someone acts bad you have the “holy right” to judge them. Wait, but is that not what you are judging them for? Sometimes actions and looks are based on past experiences. Maybe a child is angry because he wants everyone to leave him alone because bullies used to constantly pester them.…
