John 5:16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
I'm not going to be judged! Don't be amazed at this.
We were supposed to learn this in Sunday School.
I'm not going to be judged! Don't be amazed at this. It's in the Bible. John 5:24 says "whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged. Jesus said it, I believe it, don't be amazed.
Well, if the Pharisees had voice recorders, they would have everything they needed.
The Jewish Nation considered God to be their God. He wasn't supposed to answer to everyone. He made a pact with Adam, then again with Abraham, then again with Moses, and again with David, and many more. God was only for the Jewish Nation according to the Pharisees. The Pharisees were there to make sure everyone paid the correct sacrifice. The Pharisees were there to make sure everyone paid their Temple Tax. The Pharisees judged who broke the law and who did as they were told.
The Pharisees "judged" the sin and called the sacrifice.
Jesus told the Pharisees they had no right to judge Him, or anyone else for that matter. What He didn't tell them is that they should have been thankful Jesus agreed to do this for His Father.
Jesus was there when God created man. Jesus was there when the first Herod had all the babies in Israel murdered so Moses wouldn't make it. Jesus was there when David sat with his bastard baby and watched it die. Jesus was there when Lot ran from Sodom. Jesus watched all this... but still He agreed to be born to earth. Jesus did it for us. God allowed Him.
IMHO... once Jesus had actually experienced being a human with a human brain... He earned the right to Judge us. Please don't be amazed at this. I figure God wanted to fairly judge us. After all, we could argue in our defense "You never been a human with a human brain. You don't know what it's like". Jesus could answer "Oh but I have, and I judge you!"
I'm not going to be judged! Don't be amazed at this.
