Do we NOT judge the world around us only to somehow make room for the Net Results of our our own "Mistakes"? Exactly how large is this type of learning Environment?
What if everything that God intended by way of the exercising of "Intuition (discernment) or the "Vicarious" type of thought process were thrown out the window over night? Thrown out on the basis that surely everyone else "Can't" be doing it (life) all wrong in Your EYES?
Have you ever heard someone argue their view point in saying, "Based on what My Eyes are telling Me"? What exactly do your eyes or the eyes of anyone have to "Say" that is also worth repeating?
And if YOU are the Judge of the World (kosmos) in which you live, have YOU not also judged 'Yourself" accordingly having also willingly framed yourself by this same world? What if it were clearly understood that "Anyone" to be considered a NEW Creation In Christ has also been instructed by the Spirit of Christ to HAVE NOTHING TO DO with evil or wickedness?
Why is it people only hear what they assumed they also NEEDED to hear? Needed hear yet based on "What" premise as if having truly been compared to 'Whom? And if a person doesn't somehow "See" it as if a need to maintain their own "Godliness" or God Like thoughts at what exact point do our "Outward" actions also lead us towards Christ, where we only then truly begin and finish our walk with Him? Where exactly "Do we Go as if being lead from from such a place"?
Why exactly does it 'Seem' to so many earthly "Tourist" the Words of God have need of being chained to a Podium or Pulpit as one might Observe a wild Lion in order to somehow "Protect" the innocent viewers?
Surely He will remain faithful, yet faithful to WHOM? Is this said Lion "Faithful" to You or to Our Lord and Father once ALL has been said and DONE? Having nearly reached the point of extinction what happens once the visual "Affects" of the proverbial Lion are no longer available to cross reference as if some type of example? Jesus said it is "Better" that He should go, yet He also sent another to operate in His stead (namely the Holy Spirit)?
2 Tim 2:8-19
This is my gospel, for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him, we will also live with him;
if we endure, we will also reign with him.
If we disown him, he will also disown us;
if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
(If a man were ONLY taught of God by way of His Spirit, who then could "Go" wrong having followed All the wrong teachers who failed the course of "Discernment". sw)
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.
(It's one thing to suggest to a person they've somehow 'Missed their Boat", yet who's going to tell the barer of bad News they too must have missed "The same Boat"? Especially if describing the Ark that was sent of God in order to save some from the coming Flood of the Wrath of God. sw)
Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
NIV
If only a few are judging themselves within ANY generation, who then does that leave to Judge the world and everything that takes place in this world? If no one is willing to judge themselves and their actions against a "Righteous" standard, what then should the inhabitants of this world expect has willed itself to "Manifest" as if the direct result(s) of poor judgment that's been "Exercised"?
Do most people test drive a New Car or have a New home Inspected before purchasing same? How much more a "Previously Owned" vehicle or House that presents itself with a History? Is it that these inanimate objects have a History or that mankind and his varied types of Judgement that are part of the History of these "Objects" which should present many questions?
How about spending the night in a questionable motel room? If it is "Known" beyond doubt the bed has never been slept in why the need to know if the sheets have ever been changed?
If the words of God are to be believed do they NOT state what counts is a "New Creation"? Under the term of "What Counts" at what point does the one who's doing the Counting factor into the type equation where ALL things have been "Made New"?
Who exactly is waiting for the world around them to be made Perfect while also Judging that same world before they too begin this same pursuit?
Surely we've all heard in some form or another, "Looking for Love" in all the wrong places, yet how many have truthfully considered Christ in this same fashion?
Who exactly seems to somehow benefit whenever we do count or try to add up the sins of Others? Does this process or type of MATH somehow help or aid our OWN cause in doing so?
What exactly takes up residency anywhere where Christ also IS whenever ONLY Christ is Exalted? And if EVERYONE has for whatever reason been DISQUALIFIED from the PRIZE, whose HOPE has also been dashed or Ship Wrecked?
2 Cor 5:16-21
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation ; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
NIV
Why the word New Creation?
Does a person have to somehow leave this world in order to find "The" righteous definition that will also explain what the word "New' was intended to convey?
What is the REAL reason that YOU will also ALLOW to speak to the TRUE reason why I or anyone else in this world have NOT proven to be worthy enough in "Your" spiritual break through? Exactly HOW did YOU or anyone else COME TO KNOW CHRIST in a world where NO ONE can be trusted?
Exactly WHO benefits in a world where it is believed that NO ONE can be "Trusted"?
Eph 4:20-32
You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.
He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
NIV
