Ezekiel 9:4-7 KJV And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. (5) And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: (6) Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. (7) And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.One of the scariest events in Scripture! God has given a command to slay those indifferent to sin and to mark for safety those "that sigh and moan" over the evil done in their midst. The "sanctuary" in verse 6 is the temple; the judgment is to begin there among the religious leaders. To get proper context read chapters 8 - 10. God eventually leaves the temple. My point is, one does not have to be an active participant of evil to be condemned; but to simply witness it and do or say nothing to God about it. Thumb twiddling is not an option. |

Luke 6:43-44 KJV For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. (44) For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.This is the only legitimate way to properly discern human beings. Look at ALL of the fruit. Jesus even asked us to discern Him by those standards: John 10:37-38 KJV If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. (38) But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. And: John 14:11 KJV Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Remember that public opinion was partially responsible for Jesus' death. And of course Paul warns of the "Say everything but do nothing": Titus 1:16 KJV They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Allegations are not deeds. I am sure that if the President is indeed born again then his conversion is recent. So if he (or we for that matter) are judged by our past deeds prior to our conversion then that's one thing. But what fruit has he born lately? Judge him on t |
