Matt.5:25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. 5:26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last penny.{literally, kodrantes. A kodrantes was a small copper coin worth about 2 lepta (widow's mites)--not enough to buy very much of anything.}

If our sins are debt owed too God, how deep is our prison if they cannot be paid off with nothing less than the blood of Christ Jesus, moreover, what if we refuses the same too our brothers?

Here the last penny of our own debt must paid out, too even up God's scale of justice, before release from prison comes. In other words, how deep and dark a prison we make for ourselves in not forgiving freely the debt of others. A self-inflicted wounds of confinement by our own self-righteousness, that is, holding the feet of others too God's Commandment(s) that only a perfect man could meet, but instead demanding perfect Justice, in the destruction of someones very soul if they do not meet our own justice, we have been forgiven for?

1 Corinthians 3:3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men?

The weed Christian's associated with religions that retain the sins of their brothers and sisters have massed their own sins clear up too the heavens, which acts of injustice will be called to God's mind; bring them into a darkness of prison until they pay off the last little coin of small value, in their trying to redeem themselves by self-righteousness. They have erroneously thought they have gained favor in God's eyes by such harsh treatment others will instead find; even what they think they have will be take away.

Mark 4:24 He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear.

Mark 4:25 For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."

Instead of peace will come wrath by their own ways of judging others. Where they thought of righteous judgment in proving their goodness before God by upholding the Law, in which,Christ Jesus removed, will come no restful odor before the God of justice, but harsh strokes in the fruitage of their own ways. Where self-righteousness, ruled their hearts will come humiliation in hypocrisy.

The glorification they thought was justified in upholding the Law commandment(s) will bring humiliation in the dirt while seeing the righteousness of Christ Jesus justification shining upon those declared righteous by his precious blood unmerited. They will find ever unprofitable word spoken in judgment of the Old Law against God's children will be made an account of before the King of righteousness, Jesus Christ, the one who gave his life so we could have peace with God in His love.

1 John 2:2 And he is the atoning sacrifice{"atoning sacrifice" is from the Greek "hilasmos," an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation--the sacrifice that turns away God's wrath because of our sin.} for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

Matt.5:27 "You have heard that it was said, {TR adds "to the ancients,"} 'You shall not commit adultery;'{Exodus 20:14}
5:28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Would any court of law convict a person of adultery if they did not perform the act, but simply gazes at a woman with lust? What type of a reasonable court would do such a thing, I mean, which person on earth can say at some point in their life they have no gazed at the opposite sex with lust?

So here Christ Jesus essentially convicts every adult human of being adultery, or fornication, does he not? Now here is the problem with law Christian's face when judging by the Old Contract Law, they first convict themselves of the very thing they too have sinned in. They judged and they are judged, they measure out forgiveness by law in degrees of performance , and get back the same judgment as they have measured out.

But how does one judge in truth, and not condemn themselves? If they love truth, well they can't, if they says they can they are liar!

Here is the stumbling block that weed-Christian stumble over time and again until they make themselves into complete hypocrites, denying Christ Jesus, and hardening themselves into blindness of judgment, what does this mean? It means Law Christian's become so consumed with judgment that they become mentally diseased with judgment from the Law.

Their mind cannot stop wrangling in self-justification, they only way they can excuses themselves from inwards sin is too judge some else as worst. They do this by making all things evil outside of their groups rights and wrongs, which gives them the legal right seemingly from God's word in judging others unworthy of life, for not meeting their requirements.

This mental disease eat them up as redemption and proof of being worthy of God's blessings. Yet, they cannot stop sinning just as Christ makes clear by calling them adulterous by the simply act of lust. Subsequently, where can they go for forgiveness, and remission of the sin of adultery? It certainly not from chocking their brothers and sisters in demanding justice makes YHWH happy with them or Christ Jesus, but rather forgiveness, from the heart based upon the same law they themselves are forgiven by, the Royal Law of freedom, which is the New Covenant the law of love.
