"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:" Luke 6:37 This is a fundamental truth of the Spirit influencing the Saints' whole demeanor and course in life. We do not take our fellow servants by the throat and demand payment of his 50 cents while the Lord has frankly forgiven us 50,000's! But there is also a Satanic influence that misuses this great Word against anyone who obeys the Lord and rebukes sin in the brother or in the Congregation. How many times when I was speaking to a so-called brother in the Lord about the Cross, and walking in holiness, and the purpose of our being here in the last times that all of a sudden they would burst out with, "Judge not!" or, "Call the Cops: You get out of here!" The effects of Jesus' Glad Tidings upon men in the real world, as opposed to the sheltered fantasy world of many church people, are quite remarkable and noteworthy. Why is it MOST OFTEN the response of a church-person when seeing and hearing the true grace of God in someone they explode in anger and accusation, and pouring out hatred and hostility? It wasn't only the Jews that became the Synagogue of Satan when they turned away and rejected the faith!
