Things New and Old: Judge righteous judgment

Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

Judge righteous judgment

Such an impressive-looking guava.
Open it up and examine the inside.
Rotten guavas are NOT false guavas;
they are real guavas but rotten.

John 7:24 KJT
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Judge not according to sound-byte, but rightly divide the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV — Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Corinthians 10:7 KJT
Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trusts to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

Such an impressive-looking guava. Open it up and examine the inside.

There are impressive churchmen - pastors and theologians, etc. - but the Scriptures warn us against them with these fearful words; take heed and be sobered.

Jude - KJT
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ...
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities...
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

They are men who creep into churches; all their evils are described to warn us against them. Besides all these evils, they teach and promote things contrary to the faith which was once delivered to the saints; they teach a salvation different from the common salvation (Jude 1:3)
