We are required by scriptures to warn our brothers of the fact that their behavior is wrong.
Eze 3:17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Yisra’ĕl. And you shall hear a word from My mouth, and shall warn them from Me.
Why do we presume to speak for the Almighty? The applicable words are, “from My mouth”, have all of you heard the Almighty speaking to you from his mouth to your ears?
Eze 3:19 “But if you have warned the wrong and he does not turn from his wrong, nor from his wrong way, he shall die in his crookedness, and you have delivered your being.
When we speak our peace to other people, we have fulfilled our obligation to warn our brothers when they are wrong. Why do people live in judgment of other people when clearly scriptures teach us not to do this? If we believe somebody is in error, we should speak up but then,
Pro 26:20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
Scriptures repeat over and over that we should leave them alone:
Isa 55:7 Let the wrong forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, who has compassion on him, and to our Elohim, for He pardons much. 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares Yahweh. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Let the wrong forsake his way! WOW, you mean it’s not our job to go around accusing every other person of being the antichrist?
Rev 22:11 “He who does wrong, let him do more wrong; he who is filthy, let him be more filthy; he who is righteous, let him be more righteous; he who is set-apart, let him be more set-apart.
Are we seeing this? He who is wrong, LET HIM DO MORE WRONG… This can’t be true, how could this be in the bible?
Eze 3:27 “But when I speak with you, I open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus said the Master Yahweh.’ He who hears, let him hear. And he who refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
He who refuses, “Let him refuse”… You mean the idea of leaving people that you might consider wicked alone isn’t a unique teaching?
Mar 8:33 And turning around and seeing His taught ones, He rebuked Kĕpha, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For your thoughts are not those of Elohim, but those of men.”
That our thoughts are not his thoughts aren’t unique is something we should all consider in our peaceful journey forward. Learning to respect even those that disagree with us is not something unscriptural or some fancy new age teaching.
Mat 15:13 But He answering, said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted shall be uprooted. Mat 15:14 “Leave them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both shall fall into a ditch.”
It’s not something only the Messiah taught, it’s Old Testament.
Hos 4:17 “Ephrayim is joined to idols, let him alone.
I have no doubt that this is a hard teaching to follow for us.. that we let them be what they are but in doing so, we submit to the teachings of our scriptures and show by our works, the faith that motivate our actions.
Hos 4:4 “However, let no one strive or reprove another, for your people are like those striving with a priest. 5 “And you shall stumble in the day, and the prophet shall also stumble with you in the night. And I shall make your mother perish. 6 “My people have perished for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest for Me. Since you have forgotten the Torah of your Elohim, I also forget your children.
Yahweh desires that we know and understand but this does not happen when we waste our time passing OUR judgment on our other people. The scriptures are very clear in that we are not to strive with other people. Now this is not to say that we can’t have a spirited debate which by the very meaning is righteous, only that it is not our place to seek to subvert other peoples understandings.
Eze 18:23 “Have I any pleasure in the death of the wrong?” declares the Master Yahweh. “Is it not that he should turn from his ways, and live?
I strongly recommend people read Ezekiel especially chapters, 3, 18 and 33 which are all relevant to the topic.
Deu 17:12 “And the man who acts arrogantly, so as not to listen to the priest who stands to serve there before Yahweh your Elohim, or to the judge, that man shall die. So you shall purge the evil from IsraEL.
We have ONE JUDGE and ONE CREATOR who will judge all, don’t try to think it’s you. Be Humble.
Shalom,
