TRUTH, JUDGMENT. JUSTICE

.....and in that order..

April 18, 2022

If you reject the Lord Jesus, the truth, you have rejected judgment, and if you have rejected judgment, you have rejected justice:

... [i.e.,

'TRUTH' > Is it right or is it wrong, based upon the

'JUDGMENT' > absolute standard of God's Holy Word

'JUSTICE' > rightly divided ?]

"Rightly divided" = E.g., Is God doing x,y,z now (e.g., Leviticus 11 or 1 Tim 4:4 KJ etc., or does God require a,b,c to be 'right' before Him now?

• (2 Timothy 2:15 KJ) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Another example: 2 Cor 12:7-9 or Jam 5:13-16 KJ?)

Truth, Judgment and Justice come specifically from the creator Jesus Christ:

• (John 14:6 KJ) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

• (Genesis 18:18, 19 KJ) Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

• (19) For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

......for “I” know him,..

Apart from the Christian consensus returning, i.e., that agreement among Americans that their personal opinions do not determine right and wrong, but, rather, God the Holy Spirit's breathed and preserved Word determines what right and wrong are (Psalm 12:6,7; 2 Tim 3:16; 2 Pet 1:20,21 - KJ); and that God's Word is that universal righteous judgment that rules over all, in all times and places etc., there cannot be true judgment and true justice in society.

If a crowd demands "social justice" etc., the very first place the truth, judgment and justice must begin, is toward themselves. It is very hard for the crowd to cast stones justly, when they deserve so many stones to be cast at themselves for their own unjust behaviors in their own lives.

• (John 8:7 KJ) So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

• (Romans 3:23 KJ) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

God is light....man is in darkness,.....and until the darkness comprehends the light, Jesus Christ...., there will be no truth, no judgment and no 'true' justice.

• (John 8:12 KJ) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
