    The Lord is not a weak God that people should NOT fear.

    The LORD is not a weak God that people should not fear. The fear of Isaac is Strong and Victorious. He has trampled down His enemies and the Earth is His footstool. Why would the nations roar and imagine a vain thing against God and against His Anointed. Vengeance belongs to the Lord who will is Faithful. Surely in vain will they call upon Him for help. Daily He has stretched forth His hand to a disobedient people. They rejected Wisdom and her reproofs they have cast behind them. Wisdom shall laugh them to scorn when tribulation comes and they cry out. Because they feared not the Lord nor accepted reproof, so also she shall not hear. It is by Wisdom that rulers rule and governors get their seat. It is by the Most High that leaders receive the kingdoms. Why do the people say that the Lord is to held in contempt? He says to go and offer the defected sacrifice to your own governors. If you can't offer your defective offerings to your own governors, why do you offer them to God? Is God a man that He should reason as a man? His ways are above our ways, His thoughts are above our thoughts. Blessed are those who have believed upon the One whom God has sent. Let those who have not be leery and cautious, (Woe), of their own footings and walkings. The Lord guides the steps of His people. The vain say I have acquired all of this on my own. They say from times of old we have been waiting for the Lord but He has not shown up. They have turned their lives into ones of eating, drinking, and making merry. "For tomorrow we die." The fool says there is no God. God is not flattered by insults. God cannot be tempted by evil nor does He tempt with evil. Do not test the Lord. I sit as queen and no sorrow or misfortune shall befall me, says Wickedness. She makes the kings of the earth to drink of the wine of her fornication. I shall do as I please. The kings of the earth are trapped in the snares of Wickedness and thus are forced to drink her wine of fornication. The Lord shall deliver them out of the snares that have been laid by the workers of iniquity. They cannot sleep until they have made someone to fall. (Woe), be careful, be leery. Woe is not a threat but a warning to be cautious.

    Be careful when you tempt and test the Lord. He may turn and tempt and test you. He does not tempt with evil. But He may tempt you in His foolishness. The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men.

    Cool

    Granny says Jesus comin' soon an' gonna put alla Bible haters inna fire n' brimstone...

    'Perhaps We Have Arrived at The End Times'
    December 1, 2017 | Catholic Cardinal Raymond Burke, an American who serves on the Vatican's Supreme Court, said in an interview this week that "perhaps we have arrived at the End Times."
    Cardinal Burke prefaced his comment by noting the current confusion in the church over divorce and remarriage, adultery, and who can properly receive Communion, coupled with a social secularism that says people can invent their own realities outside of biology, fundamental science and reason. When the church starts questioning moral fundamentals and reason itself, it indicates that the church is either incapable or unwilling to obey the teachings of Jesus Christ, he said, even those truths evident in Nature itself. In the interview with the Catholic Herald, posted on Nov. 30, reporter Paoli Gambi asked the cardinal, "Your Eminence, you have recently referred to our times as ‘realistically apocalyptic.’ And you added that the ‘confusion, division and error’ within the Catholic Church coming from ‘shepherds’ even at the highest levels indicate that we ‘may be’ in the End Times. Would you help us to understand what you meant by this?”




    Cardinal Burke said, "In the present moment there is confusion and error about the most fundamental teachings of the Church, for example with regard to marriage and the family. For instance, the idea that people who are living in an irregular union [adultery] could receive the sacraments is a violation of the truth with regard both to the indissolubility of marriage and to the sanctity of the Eucharist." "St Paul tells us in his First Letter to the Corinthians that before we approach to receive the Body of Christ, we have to examine ourselves, or we eat our condemnation by receiving the Eucharist in an unworthy way," said the cardinal. "Now the confusion in the Church is going even further than that, because there is today confusion as to whether there are acts which are intrinsically evil [such as homosexuality] and this, of course, is the foundation of the moral law," he said. "When this foundation begins to be questioned within the Church, then the whole order of human life and the order of the Church itself are endangered."

    "So there is a feeling that in today’s world that is based on secularism with a completely anthropocentric approach, by which we think we can create our own meaning of life and meaning of the family and so on, the Church itself seems to be confused," said Cardinal Burke. "In that sense one may have the feeling that the Church gives the appearance of being unwilling to obey the mandates of Our Lord," he said. "Then perhaps we have arrived at the End Times." The Catholic Church has always taught that Catholics who divorce -- no annulment -- and then remarry in a civil ceremony are entering into a state of adultery and cannot receive Communion, because they are in a state of serious sin. Today, however, because of Popr Francis' letter on the family, Amoris Laetitia, many bishops, priests, and lay people say it is okay for couples living in adultery to receive Communion. (See here, here, here, and here.) In addition, some bishops and priests now contend that homosexual behavior is not "intrinsically disordered," and that gay civil unions or gay "marriages" are acceptable.

    Christian doctrine is that you will be judged according to your own life, not according to someone else's life. What two gay dads is Canada do or don't do is of no significance to one's personal fate if they are not the gay dads from Canada so the question is why does it matter even within a spiritual context that Christians have to rise up/speak out against people who live differently than they do?

    I am aware of that, but the Waltky post clearly has people who do. It is a concept I have never really grasped--how someone else's relationship with God has any bearing on one's own.

    I consider the sermon on the mount and Jesus's words, "judge not, lest thee be judged thine own self". Judging the salvation of another man, presumes one can speak for GOD.

    I think the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, and Nineveh, and Jerusalem, etc., would agree with you that people should fear the Lord.

    Yes, judging the salvation of men who claim to be saved in Christ is best left up to the Lord.

    But judging the works of men and what they say and do is fair game. For instance,

    “Judge not, and you will not be judged.” (Matthew 7:1)

    Jesus is not saying that we cannot make judgments about people’s actions, he is saying that we should not be hypocrites if we do. In Matthew 7:5 he says, “You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brothers eye.”

    God acknowledges the legitimacy of civil authorities to judge:

    Romans 13:1-4: “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For he (the reigning authority) is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of God’s wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.” (Also note Matthew 5:25; Acts 25:10-11)

    God has commanded the church to make correct judgments:

    John 7:24: “Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.”
    Matthew 18:15-17: “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses (note Deuteronomy 19:15). If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector .”
    I Corinthians 6:4: “Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church.”

    God commands us to judge according to one’s ‘fruits’:

    Matthew 7:17-20: “Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit…..every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”

    The Saints of Christ will judge the world, and angels:

    I Corinthians 6:2: “Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?”
    I Corinthians 6:3: “Do you not know that we will judge angels?”

    Should no one ever be rebuked?

    Jesus rebukes the teachers of the law and the Pharisees:

    Matthew 23:27-28: “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.”

    John the Baptist rebukes King Herod for adultery and other sins:

    Luke 3:19: “But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and all the other things he had done, Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.”

    Stephen rebukes the Jewish leaders:

    Acts 7:51-53: “You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him – you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it.”

    God uses people to warn others to turn from their sin:

    “When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die fortheir sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.” – Ezekiel 33

    Also note all the Old Testament prophets who condemned sin and corrupt moral leadership, and who were persecuted for their discernment and duty.
    Finally, when someone accuses you of being judgmental, are they themselves not being critical and judgmental in making that accusation?

    But stay quiet, and evil will abound:

    “The only thing required for evil to triumph is for good men to (say and) do nothing.” – Edmund Burke
