Discernment in judgment

1. Discernment in Judgment
Correlation of reconciliation and condemnation
Techniquerequired to judge without destroying:
1Tim 5
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men
as brethren;
Jude 1
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save
with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hatingeven the garment spotted by
the flesh.
Discernment is not instantaneousat salvation
1Cor 2
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spiritof God: for
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he
himself is judged of no man.
Heb 5
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one
teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are
become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every
one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a
babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those
who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good
and evil.
Righteousworks do not equal righteousness

2. Matt 7
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardlythey are raveningwolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do
men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A
good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesiedin thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy
name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I
never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Child of the king is a judge:
Gen 18
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with
the wicked: and that the righteous shouldbe as the wicked, that be far
from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
2Sam 8
18 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the
Pelethites;and David's sons were chief rulers.
2Sam 18
18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and rearedup for himself a pillar,
which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in
remembrance: andhe calledthe pillar after his own name: and it is called
unto this day, Absalom's place.
Judg 8
22 Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou,
and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast deliveredus from the
hand of Midian.

3. Lev 19
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the
person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in
righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise
rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy
people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
1Cor 5
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the
whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new
lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christour passover is sacrificedfor
us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the
leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of
sincerityand truth. 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to companywith
fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with
the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go
out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company,
if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an
idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no
not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do
not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God
judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
2Tim 2
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, havingthis seal, The
Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name
of Christdepart from iniquity. 20 But in a Great House there are not only
vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to
honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore PurgeHimself From

4. These, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the
master's use, and preparedunto every good work.
Amos 3
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Prov 13
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools
shall be destroyed. (Prov 27:17)
2Cor 5
17 Therefore IF any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 AND all things (all
things experiencedin life as the new man) are of God, who hath reconciled
us to himself by Jesus Christ, AND hath given to us the ministryof
reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconcilingthe worldunto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto
us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ,
as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye
reconciledto God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no
sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
When Christ was here came to bring men to God, not to condemn them
before God (that was already the fact). This we see exemplified in:
John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Jesus never ignored sin “go, and sin no more” But God’s overtures to
Israel in Christ, with reconciliation were rejected and He was put to death.

5. Rom 11:25 For I wouldnot, brethren, that ye should be ignorantof this
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part
is happenedto Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
