For those of you with the 'holier than thou' attitudes - those of you who are ready to use Scripture AGAINST others - those of you who are quick to judge: Please, Judge RIGHTEOUS judgment -especially when dealing with CHILDREN.
Why don't you go the full distance when telling children that they are to obey their parents?
There is more on the matter than most of you EVER present - with more stern warnings from The Lord for the PARENTS than for the CHILDREN.
Scripture says (Authorized KJV quoted):
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. Colossians 3:20,21, & 25
DID YOU GET THAT?
FATHERS, PROVOKE NOT YOUR CHILDREN TO ANGER.
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. Numbers 32:11,12
DID YOU GET THAT? IT WAS THOSE UNDER TWENTY YEARS OLD WHO ENTERED INTO THE PROMISED LAND - THOSE UNDER 20 YEARS OF AGE WERE NOT JUDGED BY GOD - SO WHY DOES ANYBODY DARE JUDGE THOSE UNDER 20 YEARS OF AGE? DO THOSE WHO UNRIGHTEOUSLY PASS SUCH JUDGMENT AGAINST CHILDREN CLAIM TO KNOW MORE THAN GOD? HAS GOD CHANGED? READ ON...
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Malachi 3:6
DID YOU GET THAT? THE LORD DOES NOT CHANGE: SINCE THE LORD DID NOT JUDGE THOSE UNDER 20 YEARS OF AGE IN TIMES PAST, HE WILL NOT JUDGE THEM NOW!!!
WHICH 'LORD' AM I TALKING ABOUT WHO DID THAT? THIS ONE:
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. Acts 3:13
DID YOU GET THAT? THE SAME GOD THAT GLORIFIED JESUS - ABRAHAM, ISAAC, & JACOB's GOD - IS THE VERY SAME GOD THAT DID NOT JUDGE THOSE 20 YEARS OLD AND UNDER!!! SINCE GOD - WHO GLORIFIED JESUS -DIDN'T JUDGE THOSE UNDER 20 YEARS OLD, WHY DO YOU UPHOLD PARENTS AND OTHERS TO PASS JUDGMENT ON CHILDREN OF THE SAME AGE? GOD CLEARLY DIDN'T AND WON'T PASS JUDGMENT ON THE ACTIONS OF CHILDREN UNDER 20 YEARS OF AGE!!! (ARGUE WITH GOD - DON'T ARGUE WITH ME, FOR IT IS WRITTEN & I DIDN'T WRITE IT!!!)
A WARNING to those of you who persist in erring in your ways by clearly not passing RIGHTEOUS judgment - RIGHTEOUS judgment is judgment that GOD has SET THE GUIDELINES for - such as NOT JUDGING THOSE UNDER 20 YEARS OF AGE.
HUMBLE YOURSELVES AS LITTLE CHILDREN - BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE:
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:2-6
IF YOU ARE OFFENDING A CHILD UNDER 20 YEARS OF AGE BY THREATENING THEM WITH GOD'S WRATH AND TELLING THEM THAT GOD IS JUDGING THEM AT THIS STAGE OF THEIR LIVES - WOE TO YOU!!!
God has already spoken on this matter and it is tragic that most don't even know the example that God set for ALL of us to follow where childrens' actions and God's TRUE judgments are concerned!
Take heed that no MAN deceive you!
