Who Am I To Judge, I Will Tell You

By Morgan McGee

I am going to confess something right off the bat. My theory is not water tight, it just better then everyone else that I have heard. To the verse
“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 King James
I quote these verse King James because these verse, in King James, is the most quoted by people with not one spiritual bone in their bone. It is usually followed by some blatantly shameful act that would, so they would escape uneasiness, drop a conviction stalemate. (As an aside, it is odd that the oldest English translation is used.) Next the speakers says. “You don't know me.” That argument is bad because if, I don't know you, you don't know me, then you don't know that I don't know you. Therefore it is possible that I in-fact know you.
But putting this aside. These words Yeshua HaMassiah, glory be the Name, spoke, was not said in a vacuum. Inessential people, who speak in a way in which we should never use our experience, understanding of cultural signaling, is to give everyone license to do what ever they want without the slightest repercussions.
“Yeah, I know this guy that was a millionaire but dressed in shaby clothes.” True enough, but how many penniless beggars are in Armani. “Well people can change.” No one like change. No one like radical change. People make plans. People like security. Plans and radical change do not mix. You build monkey wrenches into the mix. Yes change happens in the world, Praise be to GOD that He can change us. I am not the same guy I was when I was 21. But I share a lot with the guy I was yesterday. We use generalities because there is too much information in the world. We use categories to short innovatory. We don't throw everything in a hemp.
Through out the Bible there is warnings about the company you keep. From mockers, fools and wayward women in Proverbs, to Paul Castigating Peter. The Law itself establishes judges to settle disputes.
Now to the verse itself. We are a boastful creature. We want to glorifies ourselves. This sin that is in the Soul of man does not want to be humble. It wants to put itself above everyone else. In boasting in ourselves we make distinction between us and other people. These Distinctions are works. If it was actual faith we would not boast in it. If you are boasting in it, it is not faith. Sanctification is a process in which the believers is humbles and the high we go the more slippery the trail. Better the person greater the temptation. You may have the will to overcome a lesser man's temptation, but one designed for you always takes GOD.
Perhaps the “Judging” has more to do with us not to glory in works then treating everyone the same and have zero discernment. Maybe it has more to do with Peter not going to the unclean Gentiles, then me not taking a stranger at his word that they will bring my car right back. But then again, who am I to judge.

To Hate The Free Market.

There are people that hate the free market. The question why more people do not hate the free market. Many people love the free market because of what in produces. Which is reason enough to love it. I am not question why people love the Free Market. It is the most democratic process, allowing even the minority to have a choice between produces and firms, even if the minority is out of favor. It also produces a life style unmatched.
But if you look at the Free Market, there is an order. You can not say there is not. It has a rhythm. It deliver on certain expectations. It doesn't not pat itself on the back(we economist have to do that). And it's trajectory is more and more freedom. It is of human action, but not human design. It is created and substantiated by GOD. Yes anything complex man makes will fall in on itself. Complexity means Negative "black Swans."[please see Black Swan by Nassim Taleb]Not only is the market complex, but the more complex it becomes the more stable it becomes, the more innovations it produces.
Many people hate the Free market, it is a wonder of GOD, I am surprise not more people do. Praise be to HIS NAME, glory abundance.

Review 1:High School Confidential

There is a great book out called "High School Confidential" By author Jeremy Iversen. Go look on Youtube for an interview or better yet just read the book. I am going to assume you have aleast read a review of what this book is about.

I am very impressed with this Author. It is both there and not there. Jeremy Iversen is almost a ghost, who can take you threw walls, social circles and into the dirt. First part is like a heist plot then it settles down. The content is rough, but so is high school.
Everyone knows what is wrong and everyone plays their part. It is a machine and Iversen moves you through the working parts as they become self aware, yet are unable to free themselves not because of any physical restraint, although they cite the prison atmosphere of the school, but because they are tragic. They know they are tragic. They know you can't spend 5 hours hating everything, break with groping and sex, and go back to hating everything, and not sound ridiculous when you complain about freedom.
I want to praise the LORD YESHUA HAMASHIACH, not because I am better then these people, but this would be the best the world has to offer and only in HIM is there joy or purpose.

On the Evil Inclination

There is no such thing as the "Evil Inclination" in either the Old or New Testaments. There is sin, there is Sin Nature, the is the Devil and evil Spirits. There is the Flesh, the old man. Puke we return to. There is darkness, and evil. Fallen nature *check*. But there is no "EVIL INCLINATION."
Man made doctrine Alert. My Jewish Friend and Messianic Friends. If you can show me the Bible the Evil Inclination I will happily change my tune and issue an apology.

A question for my generation

Let say you are in a waiting room at a firm waiting a job interview. Lets imagine who else who is competing for that job based off of unemployment rate. At 1% no one else is there with you. At 3% maybe 4 other guys that look like you. At 8% you begin to have college graduates with a better degrees. At 10% you have someone one that has all your particular talents and about 20 years of experience on you. What happens at 11,13,15,20,25,30% unemployment? Don't look Celbs, they have jobs. You have the talent of Katy Perry, or make the funny like John Steward?

Fear Means Fear.

I have heard much smarter men then me(and in truth not so smart), and men that should know better push a doctrine that is absurd. They substitute the word “fear” for the word “awe.” That we should be in awe of Yehovah and not in fear of HIM. There are two problems with this.
1.“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Mathew 10:28). I can go on and on about fear being fear. Instead I will show the implications of this bad thinking. “At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, 'The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.”(Zephaniah 1:12). The Bible shows how Yehovah operates in lives of men back then, today, and till the end of time.
2.Feeling “Awe.” I cringe a little in my heart when any pastor wants his congregation to feel anything. We are powerless to start any sincerely good emotion towards GOD. We are sinful in our very soul. Our emotions are corrupted. Holiness and joy are as far from each other in our minds, we might as well have dictionaries begin with the letter 'H' and end in the letter 'j'. We can put on a smile. We can laugh. But it is not real joy nor laughter. You relate to GOD because he revels Himself in a related fashion. If GOD shows you HE is a mighty fortress. Then you take that testimony into you heart and you can always relate to HIM as your Mighty Fortress. Same with Salvation, same with joy, same with redeemer, same with LORD, same with king, same with ALL-IN-ALL. Wanting does not mean having. Seeking does not mean possessing. You knock then the door is open. You seek then you find. You ask then you are answered. Which means you are going to know unrest before you find HIS rest. You are going to be striped of strength before you find HIS strength. I am a Christian I should be able to relate to GOD as I want. You can't. Your will is weak.

On Going To Jerusalem

Going to Jerusalem. I can't pretend a bunch of crumbled stones left on top of one another gets my heart fluttering. I can't do it.
Israel use to be the spot between the Empire Assyria and Babylon in the North and Egypt in the South. Then later Roman in the West and India and China in the East. Jerusalem was the Capital of a trade route. There were structures with no parrell even in Roman. Not my opinion but Tiberius.
