Yes, your interpretation, it is blatantly obvious by reading the next verse it is referring to discernment. You do understand judgement can mean discernment ?

Judgment is knowing the difference between right and wrong.

And you would promote that we forsake judgment?

I would say the same to you, that may the Lord help those who are under your influence, they need it.

Yo are such a piece of work, you do that by discernment. This back on forth between you and I began by you saying love judges (passes judgement), you rejected every attempt to be corrected that it meant discernment. I cannot believe a minister would act this way.

You're funny...

Of course if judgment means discernment then discernment means judgment.

Lol, in the scripture you were referencing it was meaning discernment, you since the weekend on multiple posts were denying that it was discernment and pushing it meant passing judgement. So are you conceding now that Phil 1:9 is referring to discernment not the passing of judgement ?

What do you mean by this? If you say discernment, that is what I have been saying to you the whole time, which you have argued against.

What do you say to this?

The Bible fully contradicts your point of view that God will not be the judge of everyone.

Don't you see the parallel? When the man-child/Michael comes, he will do what Jesus did.



Jesus' ministry was a prophecy of what he will do. The two witnesses, who are probably representations of the Spirit resting upon Jesus as both Elijah and Elisha, will be resurrected, just like Jesus was.



They only come after the man-child goes to heaven, and the dragon is cast down. This means that the man-child will fight the religious order, just like Jesus did. When you say this, that it approves you for saying that Jesus judged the scribes and Pharisees, it doesn't. If you want to take that line, you condemn yourself.



The man-child will fight exactly what you purport supports you. The dragon is the fulfilled way of judgment that man has chosen to view life through. It was only an infant in the garden, thus only described as a snake. It has grown up now, and is described as a dragon.


What, it seems, that people don't understand is that it isn't sin that separates us from God. It is the knowledge of good and evil. It is a way of thinking. The fixation with sin is part of that. How everybody has to wind up where they deserve is part of that.

Without a doubt.

Because of that fixation when reading the scriptures, instead of seeing God and his righteousness in the scriptures, you tend to see sin, judgement, wrath and condemnation and they are the wares you sell to the world. When the people saw Jesus Christ the word of God, what they should have been seeing, including the disciples, is the Father and likewise christians for the best part have the same problem when reading the scriptures, it is sin and all that they believe is associated with it instead of the Father when they read scripture.

The Bible fully contradicts your point of view that God will not be the judge of everyone.
When the Holy Spirit reproves of sin, it is not to condemn but to make the individual aware there is a life outside of it, which is righteousness (“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst AND “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied). In respect to judgement(something very fond to you it appears), it is not the world he is referring to here, but the prince of this world. Your obsession with sin reminds me of that other fella on here, Finn Jarber, who was always beating the drum of judgement.
