This is very important because there is a FALSE TEACHING IN CHURCH that says Creator God gives the True Sons power over another to judge their condition and carry out whatever punishment they want to sentence on them.
NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO NO NO N O NO……HOW DARE YOU! NO
Any time Paul and the Apostles brought up the idea of “keeping the community clean” and steps LEADERSHIP can take toward discipline in their specific flock or community, they are referring to keeping order in the proceedings.
The “church” is the place where JESIS OF NAZARATJH NOT YOU NOT YOU says all who are weary and heavy laden come and I WILL GIVE YOU REST. JESUS IS INVITING PEOPLE INTO HIS HOUSE. THE HOUSE BELONGS TO JESUS. YOU ARE JUST A CARETAKER. A MAID, A HANDYMAN, A DISHWASHRE, CLEANING TOILETS AND SCRUBBING FLOORS. YOU HAVE NO POWER OR AUTHORITY IN HIS HOUSE TO JUDGE ONE HE DRAWS TO HIMSELF AND KICK THEM OUT OF HIS HIS HIS HIS HIS HIS HIS HOUS…… YOU ARE A GUEST OF JESUS OF NAZARETH THE CHRIST. BEHAVE YOURSELF.
Apparently, there is a movement in “church” that uses some verses in the Bible to set themselves up as despots with the power and authority to kick people out of the House of GOD. NO. You do not.
I am shocked. It has happened to me but I thought that was some sort of function of who I am, the position I hold, my calling if you will and chalked it up to jealousy or the natural opposition the House of Satan has toward the House of Creator GOD and his end times warriors in time space. I was wrong. It is NOT about me. And the position is was about me is actually spiritual pride and arrogance which I repent from today. Getting thrown out of “church” was all them who they are and what they did and it has nothing to do with Creator God.
This is what was in a google search about what does the Christian Bible say about judging and doling out punishment.
“Bible does provide some authority to humans to exercise discernment and correction, particularly within the community of believers, to address wrongdoing and maintain a righteous standard. There are specific steps church leaders are to take to bring that person back in good standing. Passages like 1 Corinthians 5:12-13, 1 Peter 2:14, and Matthew 18:15-17 speak to this form of “judgment” which involves confronting sin and maintaining the purity of the community.
-
“No Ultimate Authority:
- James 4:12: “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?” This verse highlights that humans are not to usurp God’s unique role as the ultimate Lawgiver and Judge.”
- James 4:12: “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?” This verse highlights that humans are not to usurp God’s unique role as the ultimate Lawgiver and Judge.”
-
“Authority for Discernment and Correction (within the Church):
- “1 Corinthians 5:12-13: Paul instructs believers to “remove the wicked person from among you.” This demonstrates a form of judgment and action taken within the community to deal with unrepentant sin.
- 1 Peter 2:14: “This passage speaks to governors and authorities being “sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right,” indicating God delegates authority to secular rulers to punish evil and promote good.”
- Matthew 18:15-17: “Jesus outlines a process for confronting sin within the church, which involves bringing a matter to the community for a communal judgment and potential removal from the fellowship.”
- a. If a MEMBER of a “church” “sins” against you another member of the same congregation, you go and point out the fault the the member you feel is doing you wrong when the two of you are alone. If the MEMBER listens to the OTHER MEMBER, you have regained the one.
- b. But if the accusing MEMBER is no listened to, then take one or two DULY APPOINTED AND ORDAINED LEADERS IN THE CONGREGATION along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of TWO OR THREE DULY AND APPOINTED AND ORDAINED AND ANNOINTED WITNESSES.
- c. If the member refuses to listen to the DULY APPOINTED AND ORDAINED LEADERS IN THE CONGREGATION WHO TOOK TWO OR THREE DULY APPOINTED AND ORDAINED AND ANNOINTED CALLED WITNESSES WITH THEM TO THE MEETING WITH THE ONE ACCUSED OF WRONGDOING, tell it to the church. Let such a one be unto you as a GENTILE and a TAX COLLLECTER. (Jesus of Nazareth ate with the tax collectors and kept company in the temple with the Pharisees. I submit if Jesus did not feel power to throw out tax collectors and publicans, THEN YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT.
- “1 Corinthians 5:12-13: Paul instructs believers to “remove the wicked person from among you.” This demonstrates a form of judgment and action taken within the community to deal with unrepentant sin.

Warning Against Unrighteous Judgment:
- Matthew 7:1: Jesus warns, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” This is a caution against self-righteous condemnation and hypocritical criticism of others.
- Romans 2:1: The Apostle Paul points out that by judging others, people condemn themselves because they often commit the same offenses.
- Matthew 7:1: Jesus warns, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” This is a caution against self-righteous condemnation and hypocritical criticism of others.
-
Delegated Authority (Secular and Spiritual):
- Romans 13:1: States that all people should submit to the governing authorities, as they are established by God to carry out punishment on evildoers.
- These are our commonly elected and appointed SECULAR authorities like Presidents, Governors, Police, Teachers in a classroom, the manager of a bank branch location, a library for example.
- Romans 13:1: States that all people should submit to the governing authorities, as they are established by God to carry out punishment on evildoers.
-
Does anyone have the right to say that someone else isn’t a Christian?This is what Jesus meant when He warned His disciples, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged” (Matthew 7:1).UPON JESUS SECOND COMING HIS RETURN TO EARTH JESUS CASTS OUT ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE TAKEN THE BETTER PORTIONS FOR YOURSELVES AND TROMPLED THE PASTURES OF THE FLOCK AS BEING UNWORTHY DECLARING DEPART FROM ME YE CURSED I NEVER KNEW YOU AND COMMANDS THE ANGELS TO GO AND PREPARE A BANQUET FEAST AND GO INTO THE HEDGES AND THE HIGHWAYS AND BRING THEM IN THAT MY BANQUET TABLE MAY BE FULL.
JESUS SAYS COME. COME. YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND HEAVY LADEN COME UNTO ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.
