What has Changed?

There is an interesting comedy on the world stage.

Roles have changed. Shoes have changed feet.

I have over the years said that the most judgmental people are the ones who shout the loudest about the most misquoted two words in the scriptures, ‘judge not’

Looking at the USA today exemplifies this.

Not so long ago, the abominable (and I call them so because that is how God calls them in His word) never stopped reminding believers to stop judging their abominable choices, reminding them that we are told not to judge. Yet the same people were doing everything possible, even changing laws, to criminalise the believers’ choices when they were in power.

Some were sacked and others lost their businesses for daring to live by what they believed. Simply said, they were judged very harshly for judging by the ones who were shouting the loudest not to judge.

The other day the dynamic changed and people who practice Biblical truth took power and decided to reverse those ‘gains’.

The same people who were judging believers for ‘judging’ them are again shouting loudest that the believers are not believers because they are not loving them.

What type of Christians are you if you are not full of love for our choices? How can your choice kill my choice?

They are now judging the believers for not loving them as they think the Bible teaches.

All the time forgetting that they were doing worse when they were in power.

If that is not comedy, then tell me what is

It is comedy because I am outside the drama.

And that is not the only incident where truth depends on who is sharing it.

Look at wars, terrorism, crime.

My side must be right because I am the one holding the microphone. My side must be right because I have the News outlet. My side must be right because I have the power.

All the time demonising any other alternative source of truth and shouting do not judge when the reality cannot be hidden.

It is absolutely wrong to trash any narrative you do not agree with.

It is wrong to call others idiots simply because they do not agree with whatever you call your values.

And it is wicked to force everybody to agree with your narrow interpretations of whatever you want people to believe as truth, especially if it differs with the revelation of God’s word.

Do unto others what you would have done unto you is valid whichever end of the stick I am.

I must be gracious in my judging if I should expect grace when I am the one being judged, simply because we reap what we sowed.

I should respect others’ opinions as I report their stories if I should expect respect when they are the ones doing the reporting.

Life is a mirror that reflects what is in front of it.

This means I should judge myself more harshly than I judge others because no other judgement can be harsher than truthful self judgment.

Nobody is an idiot. Nobody does not have an opinion. Nobody cannot be hurt or injured.

And people will reflect how you treated others as they treat you when you are on the receiving end.

Prepare for a nice and comfortable receiving end by extending grace when you are the one holding the stick.

Let me close this by simply stating the obvious; there is really one truth, God’s truth through His revelation in His word, the Bible.

Any truth that differs with it is trash, however trendy it looks.

It is trash however huge its support base is since a majority opinion can never be equated with God’s truth. Quite the contrary.
