The judgment of Yah is a mystery, as we have misunderstood his idea of right judgment, with no respect of persons, and with a just weight and measure. Religions of men, including man-made Christianity (not to be confused with scriptural discipleship in Messiah), teach some strange ideas of judgment, if we stop and really consider them logically. As it is written, let us reason together.

Is it a just weight and measure and serving justice to torture a person for infinite time without end for x number of finite years of transgression against the Law? Or does the Law require punishment to be just, with no respect of persons, according to a just weight and measure, the punishment fitting the crime?

Is it our Father in heaven and Y'shua his Son that sit enthroned wanting to accuse and condemn Adamkind, or is their intention to save Adamkind, through a refinement process including fiery trial and death? Who does accuse and condemn according to the Scriptures?

Where does the spirit of man go when departing the body (bodily death) according to the Scriptures, and how does this contradict religious ideals of men? What is the first death and what is the second death? Are we not now in death, needing saved out of it, enduring fiery trials and even the company of 3 primary evil spirits (adversary or anti-messiah, false prophet, beast)? Does the anti-messiah spirit already work in the earth according to the Scriptures, or not yet, but in a time to come?

Are we getting our answers to these kinds of questions strictly from the Word, both the Scriptures, and the rhema spoken as we commune intimately in personal relationship with HIM, or are we listening to preachers and religious dogma that we THINK we can trust to tell us the truth? In other words, are we seeking Truth for ourselves, or are we just believing what other men/women tell us? That is, are we like the Bereans that diligently searched the Scriptures, prayerfully, to see if what Paul said was true, or are we like most "believers" who know very, very, very little of what the Word actually says? Are we knowledgeable and wise in our own eyes, taking pride I religion, denominational understandings, and clever theologies worked out in academic studies, or are we humbly seeking Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth, even if it means humility in admitting we were once wrong in our religious thinking, as the Pharisees and Scribes were? Or will we be prideful like many of them, truly rejecting the Truth walking among us, while priding ourselves on our great religion, thinking we of all people have all the answers - like those Pharisees and Scribes?

Do we even really want the Truth, as the Light shines in our darkness, exposing things in us for what they are, wicked and corrupt and fleshly, needing made new and overcome? Can we be so humble as to truly submit to our Father in heaven and his Word, and the dying to self on the cross, to pick it up and follow our Y'shua as Master, or are we more concerned with appearing righteous before men, and fitting in with the dominant form of religion of our day in our land?

These are serious questions, and if we are honest with ourselves, instead of deceiving ourselves, we will seek the Truth, and find, and in finding, many lies will begin to be exposed in our thinking and in our religion and in our self-righteousness; along with short-comings, sins - rebellion and lawlessness, idolatry with false messiah's we imagine and false god we call on to do our bidding, and be in our image and likeness as we want him to be. Yes, if you truly submit to the cross, to follow the Messiah as Master, instead of self or religion being master, the Light will shine in the darkness very brightly and expose you as you are, needing to be made new in so many ways, due to current corruption. But, can you handle this? Can you submit? Or will you desire instead to be your own god, while professing the Creator is your God? Does your profession fool him? Can you truly hide from him and his Light? Will we be like Adam and Eve trying to hide from the Word, or will we be corrected willingly by it?

I hope and pray we can overcome by faith and allow the Light to fully shine upon us and in us, exposing all that is wrong and needs restored to righteousness. Religion of man will not help us in this.
