Today,
reply is on the practice of judgment among Christian believers and
acknowledging the already revealed outcomes of divine judgment.
Forgiveness is a gift of grace, not an outcome of judgment. Final
judgment by divinity results in either eternal life or the
second death. Even so, the
work of Creation is guided and fulfilled through judgment, and the
word of GOD continually operates as a tool for assessments and
valuations. Christians are to receive the resurrection life bestowed
upon Jesus Christ, and are to conduct themselves as those in the
final stages of divine judgment. Properly understood, the benefits
and privileges of judgment include admonition, correction, guidance
in decision-making, the resolution of conflict, and the settlement of
disputes by applying the conditions and sanctions declared within the
law. Such judgment is not a sudden, unforeseen condemnation where
the meaning and value for ones accountability, authority, merit, and
presence are cut off and permanently denied. It is written: 1st
Corinthians 11: 31-32, King James Version (KJV): 31 For if we would
judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged,
we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with
the world. One of the fighters in the “Yahoo! Answers” public
forum on Religion & Spirituality who uses the ID “Anonymous”

God
commands us to not judge others. Only God is the Judge. Christians,
how will God punish you for being so judgemental towards atheists?

THE
GOLDEN ARROW: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is
a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:
12, KJV)

many of the outcomes, principals, and processes for divine judgment
have already been made known to mankind and established through the
revelation of Jesus Christ. While Christian believers are commanded
to avoid practicing judgment against one another and those outside of
the body, it remains that day-to-day fellowship and walking with
Christ entails making fruitful choices, practicing discernment,
responding to fixed and unchanging sacred standards, and
acknowledging the final judgments against sin that have already been
proclaimed and published by divinity. The tribunals of GOD are to
display divine justification, and are not intended to give
opportunity for those appearing to offer explanations, or justify
themselves. As an aspect of eternal purpose proclaimed through the
law and the prophets, judgment is not a one-time event; and judgment
speaks to righteousness by the law through both its letter and its
spirit. Therefore, judgment addresses transgression of divine law;
also judgment examines whether operations of imparted spirit
substance that have resided within created beings and living
creatures have correctly resembled, reflected, and revealed the
character and likeness of Jesus Christ. Without being clairvoyant or
enabled to read other people’s
thoughts, and without being able to foretell the future, Christians
are to recognize the patterns that others willingly display that
express their heartfelt convictions, and expose their likely choices
(ABCDEFG, xyz is coming). Judgment of the righteous dead and those
alive on the earth who belong to Christ will be completed before they
are perfected in the first resurrection. The Great White Throne
judgment requires that a second resurrection must occur for the
wicked dead and those that were not harvested in the first
resurrection. Consider again the following that uses language from
the Bible, and a selection from the music ministry of Steve Amerson:
(1.)
Isaiah 57: 15, King James Version (KJV): 15 For thus saith the
high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is
Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that
is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the
humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
(2.)
2nd Timothy 3: 1-5, KJV: 1 This know also, that in the
last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of
their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient
to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of
those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
(3.)
2nd Corinthians 6: 14-18, KJV: 14 Be ye not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light
with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what
part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement
hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the
living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and
touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And
will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty.
(4.)
Malachi 3: 16-18, KJV: 16 Then they that feared the LORD
spake often one to another: and the LORD
hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written
before him for them that feared the LORD, and
that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the
LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my
jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that
serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the
righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that
serveth him not.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (5.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G8dZTWwvmU.) Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
