xxx How misunderstood is the word justice. The old testament justice was your just punishment for breaking the law. The new testament justice is: God will use the same amount on you on judgement day, that you use your whole life. The same amount of wrath, the same amount of punishment, the same amount of criticism, the same amount of mercy, the same amount of compassion, the same amount of love. So every time you look and judge someone else's evils. Your setting the pattern for your own judgement. The same way that you stand up for your rights on earth, is setting the pattern on how God is going to stand up for His rights on judgement day. Boy are we in alot of trouble.

Matt 18:23-35
23 "Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 "And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 "But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made.
26 "The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'
27 "Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
28 "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'
29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'
30 "And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt.
31 "So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done.
32 "Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
33 'Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'
34 "And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses."

Matt 23:23-24

3 A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench; he will bring forth justice for truth.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, till He has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands shall wait for His law."
(NKJ)


1 Cor 6:6-8
6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!
7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?
8 No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!

Old testament justice was an eye for an eye. New testament justice is all different. New testament justice is "If you forgive those who trespass against you your heavenly Father will also forgive you. If you do not forgive those who trespass against you neither will your Father forgive you.
Old testament is punishment, new testament is forgiveness. They could get away with punishing someone in the old testament. We cant, we must forgive.

Yes. OT is good enough for the world but not for Jesus' followers. Jesus upgraded His followers' standards so they can be a good example to the world. That's why it is wrong to get involved with the politics for His followers. Jesus is for the whole world, not just for specific countries.

Jesus says His followers are not of the world.

What Christians don't seem to understand is they reap what they sow.


Luke 6:37-38
37 "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
