(not law) unto
you, and peace (not

Inexcusable and
Self Condemning Law Judgment
Romans 2:1
Therefore thou
art inexcusable, O man,
whosoever thou
art that judgest [krino]:
for wherein thou judgest
[krino] another, thou condemnest [katakrino] thyself.
Inexcusable:
impossible to excuse or justify; unpardonable.
Strong's Concordance: "inexcusable" = 'anapologetos':
Romans 1:20 "without excuse"; Romans 2:1 "inexcusable"
Meaning 1) without defense or excuse: unpardonable
Meaning 2) that which cannot be defened or excused
In the latter half of Romans 1, Paul notes how ungodly and
unrighteous (legalistic)
those who law themselves and others had become. He concludes in Romans
1:20 all such like are "without excuse" (anapologetos), which is the
same
"inexcusable" (anapologetos) conclusion of
Romans 2:1 for those who law judge others. Yet Romans 1:20 is notably
contained within the dialogue of the first of seven Amens in Romans,
and Romans 2:1 is contained within the dialogue of the second, which
goes on into Romans 9. Romans 1 notes the reason people who law
are "without excuse" is "because" God hath shewn them such
law judgment of others has dire consequences upon all such ungodliness
and unrighteousness. So in Romans 2, Paul also notes four consequences
of being contentious. For in
lawing they changed God's truth (grace) into a lie (law). So in Romans
2:1 it points out even those who law judge others (those who accuse
others and excuse themselves) are also without excuse: inexcusable:
unpardonable; For in doing such they have self condemned (lawed)
themselves in the process. Such law judgment of others is also self
condemning, and impossible to excuse or justify. It cannot be defened
or excused. There is no excuse me in the law, which by the curse
of the law condemns all the moment any use law to judge others.
Galatians 3 notes biblical evidence makes it "evident" that no man is justified by the law in the
sight of God. Such is not to say God isn't merciful, but rather
to aware us Law is merciless and self condemning.
Example: Job 15:6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I.
Example: Matthew 12:37 By thy words thou art condemned.
So we should put away all law and law judgement of others, to have
grace that is merciful unto all. For Romans 2:11 also notes there is no respect of persons with God,
which is to say whatever applies to any applies to all. If law be
applied, all are thereby condemned, and it becomes sinners all, none
righteous, no, not one (God is one, God and Son are one, we all are
one). If grace will have mercy be applied, all are thereby saved (by abolition of law, by Christ is the end of the law).
Colossians 2:20-22 notes by the using of laws all perish. But 2Peter
3:9 notes the Lord is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that
any should perish, but all should come to repentance: change, from law
to grace. So it boils down to all perish by law, and none perish by
grace. Hence the
end of the law/grace
shew we are told to
endure unto to
be saved (graced and truthed)
notably has no mention of
law (sin and death) at all, but of grace only; And notably "the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ",
which is "with you all",
against none. For the grace Noah found in
the eyes of the LORD (LAW)
was partial to some and against others, rather than being merciful unto all as God is.
Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your
Father which is in heaven is perfect: Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore merciful,
as your Father also is merciful:
Luke 6:36
When that which is perfect is come, then
that which is in part
shall be done away:
1Cor 13:10
For by the law all are condemned with a ministration of condemnation that
is inexcusable: unpardonable:
hath never forgiveness:
not in this world nor the to come. Hence the only plausible salvation
for any, and thereby all since there
is no respect of persons with God, is by abolition of all law,
which when studied out is also the abolition of sacrifice, which is of the law. For we all are one,
and we thus judge if one died for
all, then were all dead. All dead
speaks of extinction, rather than salvation; By speaking of law rather
than grace, which speaks of sacrifice rather than mercy, which speaks
of condemned (forsaken) rather than saved (graced and truthed).
2Corinthians 3: all law written in
stone and ink is to be done
away.
When comparing
Law glory to Grace glory; Law has no glory at all by
comparison:
Law is not the ministration of righteousness, but
rather
it's the "ministraton of condemnation".
Grace is not the ministraton
of death, but rather it's the ministration of the spirit that
giveth life.
When Law -vs-
Grace are compared,
Grace so excelleth in
glory, it's as
if law has "no glory".
Law, having no glory by comparison to grace, reduces law to point it
should be done away.
In 1Cor 13, it's as put away child-ish
part of child-->man, as God
said: let us make " man".
By putting away law, we put away unrighteous law judgment of others, is
self condemning.
Consequences of Law Judgment
of
Others Right or Wrong by Law
Romans 2: 8,9 unto them that are contentious, and do not
obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish,
upon every soul of man that
doeth evil, of
the Jew first, and also of the Gentile
hell is a Grave subject, if it is what follows Death,
the named rider on
a fourth night mare in Revelation,
has four Daniel
like "night" mares, but only three woes.
I wonder what
brings forth the 4th of night mares, if told
law imputed
sin, when "it is finished", brings forth Death,
and told what
follows this rider: Death, is "hell" to pay,
and perhaps
for
doing such an " inexcusable"
thing,
the no excuse
me
thing mentioned in Romans 2:1,
also notes 4
consequences of being contentious:
1.
indignation... what 10 got moved to, by 2 of dirty doz
2. wrath...
what law worketh on all such they
say-ers
3. tribulation...
great of great<--greater<--greatest
4. anguish...
hmmm, kinda sounds like "hell" to me
Consequences for Law Judgment of Others:
Indignation? Wrath?
Tribulation? Anguish?
Contentious James
& John moved the ten to indignation
by law.
Law worketh wrath; But God
hath not appointed us unto wrath.
Tribulation is as law
recompense to them who trouble (law) you.
Anguish is the result of
a
heart and soul being afflicted
by the law.
Law Judgment of Others has a Self Condemning & Consequential
Boomerang Effect
Looking at the "Therefore"
in Romans 2: 1 "Therefore
thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou
art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou
condemnest thyself"; Such a "therefore" is
based on what's said in Romans 1; especially Romans 1:20's "without
excuse". In
Romans 1 those professing
to be wise (by being law abiding) become as fools. Fools are
hypocrites, vipers,
blind guides who sit in Moses'
seat: Law, and subject to "greater damnation": Matthew 23); For
they
change God's uncorruptible grace (will have mercy) into
corruptible
law (will have sacrifice), as if changing the
truth of His
Grace is merciful into
an unmerciful law (lie), a surely die lie (law) found in Genesis 2:17,
called the law of commandments,
which Christ abolished
to be our peace. So it is written those who
return to law, after being graced and truthed, are as fools who return
to their folly, and as dogs who turn to their own vomit, and as a
washed sow who returns to her mire. Such is the worse case scenario
portrayed in Revelation,
where John turned
to what was "behind" him, perhaps because John remained a know not servant rather
than friend: John 15:15, which is similar to remain childish
instead of grow in grace from child --> man puts away
childish things (laws).
Sadly there are many such like in
leadership positions of modern churches, who accuse others and excuse
themselves; Not knowing that by law judgment of others they also
condemn themselves in the process, and with a "ministration of
condemnation" that's "inexcusable":
unpardonable.
So their only hope of salvation is abolition of law, is how "God
hath forgiven you" in Ephesians 4:32. For when forgiveness
is studied out, forgiveness by law is actually a mission impossible,
since law imputed sin to any also imputes unpardonable sin, which is
inexcusable, unto all who even go there. So true forgiveness is
abolition of law, which provides forgiveness for all, not some only.
For true grace, pure grace, does not even think any evil of anyone to
even forgive, which is only possible by abolition of all law written in
stone and ink, thereby "blotting out" what was
"against" us: the law. Such is what Christ effectively did by
abolishing the law of commandments:
one lousy tree law in Genesis 2:17, for all other law (10 in stone, 613
in ink) were added because of this transgression, and you can only have
a transgression where there is law. So law is at the root of all our
problems.
John 1:17 (Law vs Grace comparison)
Compares law & grace as if
lie & truth:
The law (surely
die lie) was given by Moses,
but grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ.
The law
given by Moses in John 1:17, mentioned in Ephesians 2:15 as "the law of commandments" Christ
abolished,
is neither the ten commandments written in stone at Mt Sinai in Arabia nor
the 613 laws written in ink in the Torah; But rather the law (surely die lie) of
(plural) commandments in
Genesis 2:17, of Genesis 2: 16 vs 17: every tree vs not
every tree: Grace vs Law
thereof such contrary
commandments. It's the
only law given by Moses. More law was notably "added", and
notably "because of transgressions": Galatians 3:19; But "where no law there no
transgression": Romans 4:15; And "the woman, being deceived, was in the
transgression": 1Timothy 2:14. So there had to be a law to
transgress
for the woman to be in the transgession prior to Mt Sinai, where
more law was added to make it painfully evident that no man is
justified by the law: Galatians 3:12; And any law added to grace makes
grace no
more grace. Law also condemns those who use the law for judging others,
for accusing others and trying to excuse themselves, for law does not
excuse those who law (condemn) themselves in the process of judgment of
others right or wrong by law.
Hence we read in Deuteronomy 18: 16 that even the Jews at Horeb (Mt
Sinai) requested the law not be spoken to them again, as it was so
condemning they could not endure it: Hebrews 12: 20. Law was so
terrible it even caused Moses to exceedingly fear and quake. We also
read in Deuteronomy 18:17 that those who made such a request, to
abolish condemning law, notably "well" spoke, in requesting abolition
of law, lest they die. So in Deuteromony 34:12 we find Moses' law was a
"great terror" unto all
Israel; which is to say the law was a terrorist and a tormentor, the
tormentor noted in Matthew 18: 34,35 which comes like a boomerang
judgment of inexcusable law on those forgiven who don't forgive all
others; but accuse others and excuse themselves. Such would be like law
others and grace yourself, which doesn't work since there is no respect
of persons with God: whatever applies to any applies to all; Not to
mention law vs grace don't mix, being contrary things that cannot
co-exist in peace. Hence if you law others, you condemn yourself.
By law judgment of others
we condemn ourselves:
Job 15:6 Thine own mouth condemneth
thee, and not I.
Matthew 12:37 By thy words thou art justified or condemned.
Matthew 15:11 It's what comes out the mouth that defileth a man
1Thessalonians 5:3 When they shall say Peace &
Safety... Destruction
The process of reconciliation first begins with Jesus shewing how all
encompassing and inexcusable law was, and of law/grace on high we
are only edified up to grace. But
such twain is partiality, and even grace of law/grace is still
division, and not peace. So as Jesus said, he didn't bring peace, but
rather division. Peace is above all such law vs law and laws vs grace divisions. Christ is
our peace who abolished
the law, thereby ending all law vs law and laws vs grace divisions,
leaving us graced. So the reconciliation to
God process in 2Corinthians 5, notes it is done
"in
Christ", of through
Jesus-->Christ. For only when we leave the
inexcusable law of Jesus do we become Christ-ian, also called born again, which is
notably not of corruptible law, but of incorruptible grace. Such only
happens in Christ, by leaving the law/grace principles to go
unto perfection of grace only, which is above law/grace twain on high.
So it
is said be not highminded,
for an high priest became "us" ... "harmless" ... "higher than the
heavens". Christ had to go "higher" in
order to become "harmless" (grace only). Pure grace is not against any,
and neither makes sides nor takes a side to have warfare, which has
side effects to both sides. So when analyzed, neither of their part vs your
part is perfection. For when perfect-ion comes, then part-iality is
done away. So a more
excellent way is neither of broad way vs narrow way, which is still
double minded
= unstable both law/grace ways. Only when we put away all law do we
become
stable, and not divided nor partial.
Christ of "through Jesus --> Christ" is the more
excellent grace part of a Law --> Grace shew; As if the perfection
which comes when we put away law as the imperfect
childish part of Child --> Man. For Jesus was made under the law:
Galatians 4, but Christ is the end of the law:
Romans 10:4; And To wit, "that God" was "in Christ" reconciling the
world unto himself, and notably by not law imputing their sins unto
them: 2Corinthians 5:19. On the contrary it seems this Ghostly God on
high
driving Jesus
tended to accuse, threaten, and alienate
rather than reconcile the world.
Jesus notably brought division
and not peace unto them: Mt 10:34; Lk 12:51; Jn 7:43; Jn 9:16;
Jn 10:19; But Christ is our peace: Jn 14:27; 16:33; 20:19,21,26; Rom
2:10; 5:1; 15:33; Eph 2:14,15 who abolished the law, and thereby Christ
isn't divided: 1Cor.
Perhaps it is the Christ part of Jesus --> Christ which saves the
Jesus part, by putting an end to the law, by abolishing the law in
Genesis 2:17 that caused the transgression in the first place. Perhaps
we should be more Christ minded. For those who are Jesus minded tend to
still law impute sin and death for the hell of it, and thereby alienate
rather than reconcile the world unto God.
There seems to be no doubt Paul is comparing in Romans 2: 7-10; And
perhaps not just comparing two things, but three things: First
comparing "them"
vs "them" of them who go on to grace and them who draw back to law,
as if two sorts of them noted in Hebrews 10:39. We are neither of them,
but are of them who believe to the saving of the soul. Secondly he
mentions
"man" kind, man under law with man under grace. Only the third part
mentions "peace", as if then speaking of the
blessedness of "man" to whom the Lord (is now that Spirit: Grace)
will not impute sin.
Grace of Law vs Grace
Division: To them who
by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and
immortality, eternal life
Law of Law vs Grace Division:
But unto them
that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and
anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and
also of the Gentile
Pure Grace, and thereby Peace:
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew
first, and also to the Gentile
Until we put away division, especially law vs law division is as
loser vs loser, and even the division of law vs grace is still
division and not peace, we do not have peace that is internal and
eternal. For even taking the side of grace in any law vs grace division
still gives place to
law, place to
division and not peace. But pure grace
gives no place to law, thereby
brings peace rather than division. In the same manner charity never
faileth (to forgive by abolition of law), and because charity
"thinketh
no
evil" (no law, no fault, to forgive), and charity is to be
put on above forgiving one
another.
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with
you all. Amen.
