Free Will Good and Evil

The scriptures make little or no sense to most Christian's when it comes to God's judgments; at one point they see a God of judgment (Old Testament) and the next a so called God of love (the New Testament) the two are totally incompatible.

Christian's and the groups they associated with try to reconcile the two God's person(s) into a more congruent, one God, by mixing a little of both the Old Law and New Law into a religious doctrine this creates a dogma or doctrine(s), whereby the group must come up with a reasonable answer for every legal question in the bible.

But in actuality and factually they created nothing more than a legal God of judgment in another form, but how? Simply put, a little yeast ferments the whole lump, in other words, yeast cannot be put into unleavened bread without corrupting the whole lump, nor can a person put sweet water into polluted water without polluting both. Subsequently, a person cannot put a little of the Old Law into the New Law without corrupting both into a weed-Christian's false religion.

The first step is too believe God and His Son Jesus Christ, did Christ remove the law for us, that is, the law of judgment (the Old Law given too Moses)? Next if the law and its judgment is removed and is no more; completed in Christ Jesus, what law is left for Christian's?

In other words, God is not partial, He does not remove the Old Law for some and not others, now does He? So we are faced with a great dilemma which is, there is only one authorized law for Christian's established upon God's own standards of righteousness in His Son Jesus Christ, which is the law of love.

Subsequently, if we bring a little yeast of the Old Law we polluted the New Law corrupting the entire meaning of what Christ has done for Christian's in removing our judgment.

Thus, viewing God as both the Old and New Law gives us a corruptible image of God to worship rather than the glorious freedom of the Son's of God knowing their Father as love. Unfortunately, most Christian's will retort harshly that having only the law of love will not work in keeping people in check, and they would be right.

Moreover, they will state God still has judgment so how can there be no judgment that is a lie! Let answer the first question most Christian' s will have; “having only the law of love will not work too keep people in check”.

What type of check are Christian's too keep other Christian's under if they are walking by Spirit, which mean in love? Can a Christian's under the law of love take the will of another person and make them obey rules they don't want too? We are not talking about minor children here under parents headship.

What Kingdom are Christian's seeking, the one above or those below, in other words, the kingdom's below, are kingdoms of religion's, governments, or businesses, anything that we build outside of Christ Jesus. All things built in Christ Jesus, God's household is built under the one authorized law of love instituted with Christ Jesus own righteous blood.

These are the works that remain, in spiritual gifts refined as if by fire producing in us the fruitage from the law of love, which is the fruit of the Holy Spirit havivg no laws of the flesh against them.

But those things built by the things below, uses laws of yeast, or laws of the flesh to control and govern those with in them. Christian's know that there is much corrupt partiality in all man made groups, yet, they allow themselves to be deceived by some good works of the group. So the question remains what law are we to keep Christian's in check with, and of much more importance how does love keep a person in check?

When a Christian's can answer this question honestly examining the law of love free from corruption of false religion's they will understand Christ Jesus words here:

Matt,7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged. 7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

They will understand they are not under judgment by God they are free from judgment in Christ Jesus, thus, God is not partial, which means, He does not free them as a sinner from judgment while giving us the right to judge others in Christ Jesus whom themselves have also been freed by an impartial judge.

Furthermore, they will have to humbly acknowledge if God has brought them to this spiritual maturity that they cannot stop judging either in their own flesh, which means, if they themselves have come to know God own impartiality they must ask for God's forgiveness for daily sinning in judging others.

What Judgment is Left Without the Law of Moses?

Here we must answer the second question which is” “God is a God of judgment and there are future judgments, however; “didn't you just say there is no judgment in the law of love”.

First let us note God allowed Adam and Eve too sin, He did not take away their free will to make a choice of good or bad from them. God is not partial; does God allow us to make the choice of what is good and evil for our lives still, or has he as some religion's believe, changed making us through earthly hard legal religion's do things against our will?

Adam and Eve chose to know good and evil, in others words, they chose to make decision for their lives as to what was good for them and bad for them. Subsequently, they chose to come out from God's Kingship and govern their own lives, they did not believe God was love, and all that God could do for them was only good because He is love.

No, they chose to believe the lie of Satan, instead believing evil of God, and not good of Him.

However, instead they sinned and fail under the laws of the flesh, which are sins laws. Moreover, because God is not partial they came under their own judgments, as to what is good and evil.

In other words, they became a law unto themselves as a independent kings ruling over their own lives/kingdom. Furthermore, each person born of Adam and Eve since has came under their own headship, or free will of good and evil choosing what is good and bad for themselves, so what judgment is left if God removed the Old Law, and the Law of love has no judgment for those under the New covenant?

Those in the New Covenant under the law governing Christ Jesus and his body members as a spiritual nation are under the law of love, but some of their judgments comes from their own sinful flesh. In other words, it is a self judgment, as Adam and Eve chose for themselves good and evil.

Now the body of Christ Jesus members can chose each day what is good, that is, walking in the Spirit of God, or evil under the will of the flesh, but in any case they judge themselves. The question is do they impute evil to God for the will of their flesh claiming evil comes from the Father of the lights, misleading themselves, and other that follow their teachings, thus becoming evil slaves?

Self Judgment By Death?

Although this is a complex subject it can be made simply by understanding that God is not partial and He alone applies the law fairly to all. People on earth under the judgment of sin laws are also forced in some manner to do things against their will to survive in a world of unrighteousness. Thus, this causes them to confuse man made laws of the flesh that take some of their will away as God's judgments.

But the truth is God simple lets us live under are own rule of law, which is death. In other words, when the bible speak to the flesh, that is, in the so called new testament it is most often speaking of death by sin.

So the sinful flesh is opposed to the life of Christ and God, which wars, as it were, with the Spirit of God that is life giving.

The will of the flesh is against the will of our Father, because they cannot reside together, one is light, life, while the other is death and darkness. Subsequently, one must die for the other too live. Here we find a automatic judgment of two opposing forces, one force judges the other as good or bad, but the outcome will always show the truth for those born again with God's Spirit.

If we walk by flesh we kill the fruits of Holy Spirit freely given us by God's love. On the other hand, if we walk by Spirit we kill the flesh and God's Spirit bears witnesses with our spirit that we are His Son, and faithful.

But who's brings us into judgment, it is our own will, not God's will that we should be judge, but our choice that brings death to God's Spirit within us, causing us to reject the good gifts of God too us.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

So is God partial in this judgment, well of course not, it is that we are tempted by the will of our flesh, judging what is good and bad, and than we suffer or we are blessed by our choice. In this manner, judgment is up too us, so that we might “see” the truth about sin, what does this mean?

Because as stated above the grain of our tree is sin we identify with sins naturally throughout our whole life, it fits us like a glove, although we don't like the outcome some times, nonetheless, we our sinners.

Yahweh, in his manifold wisdom knows the hearts of men, that is, we would never reject sin because we simply cannot know what a sinless state of goodness is, what does this mean? It means we can be up too our necks in the filth of our flesh, and believe it is God's righteousness deceiving ourselves and others.

However, God gives us the free gift of Christ Jesus sinless life in us, this sinless life bears witness in the law of love of God's own goodness that creates in us a desire more and more too associate with God. We start to understand the wickedness of all sin, that all sin is evil, why, because of we suffer in our flesh with sins outcome killing the Holy Spirit in us.

We now find even our most noble ideas of helping other, gaining wealth and humanitarian thought is really nothing more than corruption and death. How have we come to know this, by killing the righteous Spirit of God, calling evil, good. Yes, God cannot associate with flesh, and blood having sin, so immediately the Spirit of God is dead in us, until we are walking according to the torture stake of Christ, putting the flesh to death upon it, so the Spirit might life in us.

Darkness Meets Light by Faith

When a child of God kills the Holy Spirit in them they are dead to Christ and must receive a resurrection into the present of God by Christ Jesus Priesthood meditating the New Covenant of love for them.

Here they have come up to something so profound the laws of the flesh cannot comprehend, nor forgive, they have unwittingly tested the law of love and must believe as God has stated that love cannot fail.

At this point they have come to know God is not partial, He is not judging them under the law of the flesh any longer, but under the law of love. They are forced through their own sinful failing to believe God's law of love has removed their judgment.

They have judged themselves into death by the laws of the flesh, but now God despite their disobedience is not going to changes His impartial judgment of love.

God's proves He is impartial by resurrects them spiritual back into His love.

But why would God do that? It is because He is not partial nor is the law of love that cannot fail His divine purpose towards His children, what does this mean?
