Standing humbly, but standing nonetheless...
For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?
But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.- I Corinthians 5:12-13
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?
Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?
So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?- I Corinthians 6:2-4
I think the heart attitude as a very crucial key issue in God's eyes.
And that's wholesale an issue between all of us and God.
I wonder is we can get all his wives, present and former, to chime in.
I certainly don't always succeed . . .
However,
I've found it growthful in my Christian walk to at least earnestly attempt to avoid harsh judgments of folks over points of the faith and Scripture about which reasonable people can differ. And there are many such.
On the other hand, whether God likes phariseeism, or not, seems to be a pretty abundantly clear value stated rather plainly in Scripture.
Of course, what constitutes 'pharisee-ism' tends to be like beauty--in the beholder's eye--though virtually never in one's mirror--unless and until God has decided to make it painfully clear to the individual.
And HE IS WELL ABLE to do that in His ways and His time.
Hal Lindsey et al have stated their perspectives on many Scriptures--many of which SEEM to have more than one plausible interpretation. I think most of them don't but I haven't counted each one accordingly.
But it is plausible that reasonable people disagree about the proper interpretation of such Scriptures. Emphatic pontifications based on merely plausible interpretations on Scriptures which seem to have at least potentially more than one meaning . . . seems to risk God's wrath for mostly vain rantings.
imho, of course.
