Greetings. Luke 6:37Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. When we first read the Bible or even imagine the character of God, we have judged it by our own thoughts. Thus, we condemn ourselves right away because we have judged His word or character as a man. Isaiah 55:8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. We all make our thoughts equal to God at first and nobody can avoid doing this, nobody! Isaiah 55:9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. We do not even have to have read a Bible to think: God must be just like me we have imagined, why I bet God even combs His hair like me and prefers bottle beer to cans. Often when we read a fictional novel, we try to identify with the main character and this character becomes us in our mind. We all have made God’s word sin or our own thoughts and God knew we would all condemn ourselves: by what we thought. Think about it, who would have ever imagined that our own thoughts would become the spiritual executioner. Our own thoughts about the Bible becomes a spiritual law in our own mind and we will spiritually fight and even physically kill to keep this Law. And what is this law? THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH, WHICH IS HOW WE SPIRTUALLY SEE THE BIBLE. But we think we can discern the Bible words because we can read and our eyes have seen it. Psalm 35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and say, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. In order to see God's words as He wrote them our eye sight must be Spiritually opened. Psalm 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wonderous things out of thy law. The Bible is a book of God's Laws or character.  Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from thelaw of sin and death. By our own law of sin and death, the Bible just become a worthless letter in our bloody little hands. 2 Corinthians 3:6 who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. My interpretation without God Spirit is just spiritual death and my spirit of error cannot save me from myself.
Our law also represents traditions or thoughts produced by the mortal mind of men. Matthew 15:3But he answered and said unto them, why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? When we make God’s thoughts that of a man without waiting on the Holy Ghost interpretation of a scripture or even one word, we transgress. And I know, millions cannot believe they are transgressors because they prayed at an altar. James 2:9but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.  God does not respect our person: which are just our own opinions or thoughts about the Bible no matter how sincere we think we are. A lady I met in the market place the other day tried to exalt herself by quoting scriptures. I Informed her that the face mask that man has commanded us to wear; is what God has been trying to say to me in my generation. Cover your mouth and stop quoting scriptures like a like a parrot, scriptures that we have no idea what they meant to God. Job 40:4Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.God gives us the Holy Ghost which has the power to discern His words and the power to discern other men thoughts also. Man does not fear God that is why he quotes scripture like he knows what they mean, this shows no respect or honor to the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORD. Psalm 50:16But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Sanitizing everything physically will not save this vile physical nation but spiritually sanitizing our vile mouths will. What we have imagined about God character has made us all sinners. Proverbs 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin. We have all taken the next verse and made it about physically judging physical things. Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. Spiritually speaking God’s word are living things and we are not born with the right Spirit to judge them. Psalm 50:21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. At first God keeps silence as we play the fool thinking we are saved, full of the Holy Ghost just because we went down to a physical altar and other physical things we have done. Notice in the above verse it says thou has done, in other words you saved yourself. God Spirit reveals itself by reproving us and sets Him word in order before our eyes.
