Thou Shall vs Thou Shall Not

Have you ever looked in the Bible to try and determine what you should do in certain instances? And have you ever looked in the Bible to determine what you should not do in certain instances? I personally think “Thou shalt not” would win…Most of us try to figure out those things which we should not do…Well, I have to tell you I’m guilty in both instances having equally disobeyed the “shalls” as well as the “shall nots”. God said He would forgive me my transgressions, all of them, throwing them as far as “east” is from “west”…That’s pretty good, huh…North and South meet at the poles, but east and west never meet, it just keeps going, and that’s good for me, and probably you….Why am I bringing this up?…Well, some folks are doing some things I disapprove of, such as same sex marriage and I think that is real bad, and I think those people need to read about the “thou shall nots”,  but really…. I just need to hold on a minute…That job belongs to God, that judging thing. that for Him…. I just gotta step aside and let God talk to those folks ’bout their lives cause really, they ain’t no worse than me since God views a sin as a sin….Sex sins seem to be worst, as I read the Bible….You remember Jimmy Carter and the thoughts about adultery was the same as committing the act….Oh, Lordy, Lordy…..Well, I’m against same sex marriage, it just don’t seem right to me…I have never seen a male dog chasing a male dog for sex. I don’t think same sex is practiced anywhere but humans, but I could be wrong there as well….I am trying hard not to judge and I am not doing a very good job of it,….. but I sure can’t throw any stones!!!!

What’s wrong with judging? Judges are one of the highest paid (and “respected”) professions in our society, and one of the most dispised as a profession and “hated” as individuals. The Bible only states, “Judge not lest you be judged.” All of us may as well make our own stab at it. We can do no worse than some, but just remember that our judging will be judged by a higher and fairer power: the heavenly Fox News forever fair and balanced.

“As you mete, so shall you be measured.”

You’re right! But as long as we have free will and the freedom to exercise it, we are going to judge. It is the healthy and democratic thing to do. We just have to remember that our judging will be judged as all professional judges are judged by their peers, superiors, and a higher power.
