Why Do People Have Different Scales For Judging Sin? by Omooba77: 8:21am On Jul 03, 2022 |
People make excuses for what others do, for example if their loved ones do something, they try to be lenient, but woe betide their enemies if they do same. So Why do people have different scale for judging sin? |

Of course with different orientations, beliefs, understanding, priorities, there would be different measures but only one would matter at the end. That of Jesus. God bless. |

That is a natural thing. Animals always defend their own. I was even thinking the thread is about the interdenominational selective labeling of what is sinful and what is not. |

Omooba77: ------ People, since the fall of mankind are flawed and imperfect of themselves... "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" - Jeremiah 17:9 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 So, is the matter of people's judgment not then irrelevant? ... "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." - Psalm 75:6-7 "And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness." - Psalm 9:8 (Also Psalm 96:10, Psalm 96:13, Psalm 98:9) |

Omooba77:Because they don't fear God. If you love and fear God, you will judge righteously, be it your love ones or not |

Omooba77:What Paul wrote in Romans 3 was not in reference to all humans but instead to the evil people, fools who reject God. This you can easily discover by researching the source of his many statements which are culled from various places in scripture. ■Beginning in Romans 3 vs 10 - 18, Paul quotes from various parts of scripture in his attempt to explain to his brethren that they were in fact the wicked and evil generation to the destroyed by God. Yes, at that point in time, God's plan was to destroy the rest of Israel — the Nation of Judah aka the Jews— and that plan was heralded by the coming of Jesus Christ. Below, we see that what Paul wrote in that passage was of the evil people who were against God. ■ Romans 3 vs 10 - 12 quotes Psalm 53 where David writes about the evil people who do terrible things. 1 Only fools think there is no God. People like that are evil and do terrible things. They never do what is right.The above passage clearly says that this prophecy was said of the evil people aka the fools who convinced themselves that God does not exist. You know this from reading verse 4 where God highlights the way evil people treat His people. ■ Romans 3 vs 13 a Paul references David's prayer against his enemies found in Psalm 5 8 Lord, show me your right way of living and make it easy for me to follow. People are looking for my weaknesses, so show me how you want me to live.■ Romans 3 vs 13 b quotes from Psalm 140 where David prays to God regarding the evil people 1 Lord, save me from people who are evil. Protect me from those who are cruel,■ Romans 13 vs 15 quotes from Proverbs 1 which is a warning against evil people 10 My son, those who love to do wrong will try to trick you. Don’t listen to them.■ Romans 13 vs 16 - 17 references Isaiah's writing on the state of the evil people, whose sins separate them from God 1 Look, the Lord’s power is enough to save you. He can hear you when you ask him for help.■ Romans 13 vs 18 references Psalm 18 where David writes of the evil people and the workings of their minds. 1 Deep in the hearts of the wicked a voice tells them to do wrong. They have no respect for God. As you can see, every single passage of Scripture that was quoted by Paul in that context was written in reference to people who do evil — the unrighteous. And of course, there are none righteous among the evil people for they have all sinned. After establishing his focus in the earlier verses, the evil people i.e. the unrighteous, in verses 19-20 Paul reiterates that the curse on the unrighteous cannot be removed right by the Law(of Moses) — they cannot be made righteous by following the Old Law. In verse 21, Paul then posits that God has provided for the unrighteous(evil people) a path to redemption by which they can be made righteous and that path is the New Law(The Good News). Paul insists that God makes the unrighteous people righteous through their faith in Jesus Christ and He does so for all those who believe in Jesus Christ, verse 22. Again, Paul insists in verse 23 that all(the evil people aka unrighteous) have sinned and come short of the glory of God and can only be made righteous by following, not the old Law, but the new Law which offers the free gift of grace(Eternal Life). Paul also insists that the unrighteous are able to become righteous in God by becoming free from their sins through Jesus Christ. In verses 25-26, Paul then recapped by saying that God gave Jesus Christ a way to forgive the sins of people — the unrighteous aka sinners whom He came to call to repentance — by way of what Paul refers to as the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In all, the primary audience or focus of Paul's writing in Roman 3 were the unrighteous sinners in the land, ignoring the righteous people who equally existed at the time. As a matter of fact, at the time of Paul's writing of this epistle, the other disciples of Jesus Christ were probably righteous given they already obtained the Spirit of Truth for a companion long before this. Paul in no way meant this to say that there were absolutely no righteous individuals in the land. Rather, he focused his message on those who were listed as unrighteous and remained under God's curse from the Old Law, and yet to be set free from slavery to sin by Jesus Christ. |
