Judgment

Witch or good priest depends on the prayer some dark and dreary some bright and sunny speak evil spell or chant a soul protecting honey a slimy palm or church plate for the money -- the atheist supports neither coven nor Easter Bunny... who will have the greater surprise? when heaven and the Devil separate mortal sin from forgivable surmise --

Judgment is up to God. I try to live as per my conscience.... sometimes my thoughts can go wrong. So with other people. Who are we to judge! One's right may be another's wrong. So let God judge. You have given us some thoughts to think over!

God is the best Judge. We can discern right from wrong...but God is the one who really knows -- having a far greater spiritual mind and heart than any one of us. Blessings my friend.

Thank you, Joe; there is condemnation of the physical, only because one owns it. One's spirit projects its own embodiment of condemnation. Am I saying, there should be no warranted consequences for acts of evil? Absolutely not. In fact, only unpleasant consequences will manifest from association with evil. As God has rightly declared. What I am say is, negatives put unwanted weight on the side of our positives -- good cannot reside comfortably with evil. I should judge no man, nor take delight in his downfall. I struggle with this one...especially when evaluating politicians.

Just my opinion. I am no ordained minister. God is everything, created everything out of Himself...nothing exists outside of God. The vastness of the Universe (universes, endless dimensions of experience) I could not even begin to hold in my local mind. God the unknowable. We are privileged to know God through the Father, Son and Holy spirit. In this way He speaks to us, on a level of relatable consciousness. No Good God would make a Free Will Man, knowing some will err, foreseen in His Creative Plan...and then sentence that fallen man to an eternity of painful fires. How do I sense this? In my life I have only known a God of nurturing mercy -- no matter how far I have strayed. No good god would create something, thinking and feeling, who develops loving, unbreakable relationships~ and then give that emotional being an expiration date. Hell will follow us, as long as we lead, instead of the wiser, letting our Christ lead us.

God created man for heavenly bliss. Yet if man indulges in evil, can God accept evil? Freedom of choice means doing good.

God can only create perfection, in my opinion. We have the latent ability to find our way out and back. Good advice, Victor. Thank you.

Like the song goes, I wonder where my friends will be. A world without judgment would be a true heaven. A clear mind that can aspire would be good in afterlife. Maybe I'll start going back to church. An inspiring poem.

Hi Hilda; I just ask the questions. I know as little or as much as the next person. Love is greater than all knowledge. The way I see it. Who knows?

I had to read your comment below to totally get your idea yes, I believe as you do.. after having read about and viewed numerous accounts of NDE's. I know without a doubt that God is merciful and willing to save the sinner by His Almighty grace as long as the sinner cries out for forgiveness.

So, in a sense, God gives us the Free Will to bless or condemn ourselves. Yes, closer to what I believe. Thank you, Andrea.

If I can forgive and condemn none, how much greater is God's Love and Grace? I can judge a man's evil...but not the man.

Interesting thoughts Joe. It's the type of poem that can elicit different responses. Mine can simply be found here: 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9

No ambiguity in Thessalonians is there?! Thank you, Tom. Blessings my friend. I did check out your suggestion, King James version is only reliable reference. From my point of view anyway.
