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
