PAUL AND JESUS: CONFLICT?

“But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.”
1 Corinthians 2:15 KJV
http://bible.com/1/1co.2.15.kjv 
To many people, this verse seems to conflict with what Jesus said in Matthew 7. Let's read it ourselves: "Judge not, that ye be not judged.”
Matthew 7:1 KJV
http://bible.com/1/mat.7.1.kjv 
This is the very verse that many people use to get away from the Gospel. 'Don't teach me; doesn't your Bible say not to judge?' But you see, you have to address what Jesus was talking about and who he was talking to. 
Answer me this; when Jesus was talking to these people, were they not sinners? Or had they been saved? 
The answer is NO! They were sinners! How can a sinner lead another sinner...didn't Jesus say they would fall into a ditch? “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
Matthew 15:14 KJV
http://bible.com/1/mat.15.14.kjv 
What about the logs and specks: “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.”
Matthew 7:3-5 KJV
http://bible.com/1/mat.7.3-5.kjv 
As Christians, we now can judge others, AS CHRIST WOULD JUDGE. In the last verse of 1 Corinthians 2, verse 16. “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 2:16 KJV
http://bible.com/1/1co.2.16.kjv. 

You see, Christians are supposed to have the mind of Christ. Remember this...and let Christ lead you. Always ask, how would Christ do this?

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
