WARNING OR JUDGING!!! Part 1 of 3

WARNING, CORRECTING OR JUDGING!!!

Hebrews 4 (KJV) 

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder (apart) of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Sharing God's word will make the wicked and unrighteous feel judged.  Why because it  judges the the thoughts and intents of their heart.  It detects it quickly ~ Karmen


Proverbs 1 (KJV)

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Those who want to continue in their wicked and unrighteous ways don't want to hear God's word.  ! Karmen




Colossians 1 (KJV)

28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

Judging to warn and teach wisdom.  ~ Karmen

Romans 2 (KJV)

13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Those living unrighteously or wickedly accuse each other and excuse each others of sins.  They do not want to repent.  Those who practice rigtheousness teach and warn all about living for God. ~ Karmen




Matthew 7 (KJV) 

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Repent before you point out someone else's same sin.  Also, don't get it misconstrued; correcting and warning is the righteous way to judge. ~ Karmen

Leviticus 19 (KJV) 

15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect (favor) the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

When one practices righteousness they are objective.  They judge in honesty and holiness. ~ Karmen

35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard (yard, staff, rod), in weight, or in measure.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah (an ancient Hebrew dry measure equivalent to a bushel), and a just hin (a Hebrew unit of liquid capacity equal to approximately 5.5 quarts), shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the Lord.

In obeying God's word you do not pick and choose which statutes to follow.  You submit to the Holy Spirit through practicing righteousness. ~ Karmen

Psalm 51 (KJV)

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

The goal is to teach others God's ways, so that they can live righteously for God. They are going to be offended naturally because again, the Bible judges the intentions of the mind and heart (both are of the flesh).  ~  Karmen



Proverbs 31 (KJV)

9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.





1 Corinthians 2 (KJV)

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

A spiritual man (woman as well  :)    ) judges all things.  Worldly people's thoughts of them do not concern them.  ~  Karmen





Malachi 3 (KJV)

18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

It is our duty to discern between those who live for God and those who do not ~ Karmen

Hebrews 5 (KJV) 

12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles (laws) of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

All of your senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch) are exercised to discern both the good and evil in every thing and every one due to the Holy Spirit that was given to them that are baptized into the Holy Spirit and Water.  For those who practice righteousness.  It is a default.

Also, comprehension, learning, awareness, understanding and thinking are very keen and sharp due to the Holy Spirit, training in righteousness and such.  ~  Karmen

1 Timothy 1 (KJV)

3 As I besought (implore) thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying (educating) which is in faith: so do.

5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned (genuine):

6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling (discord);
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane (indecent), for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers (a slave dealer, kidnappers), for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary (conflicting) to sound doctrine;

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck (a cast away):
20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme (speak irreverently about God or sacred things.) .

The Wicked

Proverbs 11 (KJV)

18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

Proverbs 13 (KJV)

2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors (sinners, wicked) shall eat violence.

Psalm 109 (KJV)

5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.



Psalm 52 (KJV)  

3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.




Jeremiah 9 (KJV)

3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant (very brave) for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord.

4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant (replace), and every neighbour will walk with slanders.

5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity (wickedness).

6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?



Isaiah 59 (KJV)

7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

Seeking peace?  Remove yourself from crookedness. ~ Karmen


Titus 1 (KJV)

15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable (cursed), and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (an unprincipled person (often used humorously or affectionately).




Psalm 35 (KJV)

19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.




Psalm 37 (KJV)

12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

2 Peter 2 (KJV)

10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous (overconfident) are they, selfwilled (unmoved), they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities (the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.).

John 3 (KJV) 

19 And this is the condemnation (the expression of very strong disapproval; censure.), that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.




Ephesians 6 (KJV)

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles (lure, entice) of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.




Proverbs 16 (KJV)

27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.




Proverbs 15 (KJV)

28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.




Proverbs 18 (KJV)

5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

Proverbs 17 (KJV)

4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination (curse) to the Lord.

23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.




Proverbs 25 (KJV)

26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.




Proverbs 13 (KJV)

13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

Psalm 51 (KJV)

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
13  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.




Proverbs 6 (KJV)

14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity (misfortune) come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

Ephesians 6 (KJV)

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt (encircled) about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod (cover) with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Proverbs 6 (KJV)

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination (curse) unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Proverbs 21 (KJV)

4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

Proverbs 28 (KJV)

1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Fear of being caught vs living an honorable life. ~ Karmen

4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend (argue) with them.

Is this not the truth ~  Karmen

5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things.

12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

Those who do right don't mind showing their joy, Those who do wrong, hide ~ Karmen

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
