I also recently discovered from the teachings of Mary Magdalene, that we are commanded to love the “spirit” of all God’s children; keeping in mind that not all humans are following God’s Way, at any given time, and thus their spirits are not pure. I take this to mean we are not commanded to love, or tolerate, their human actions, but only their spirits, for they, as do we, have the opportunity to repent and be included in God’s love and compassion. It is a choice for each of us as his creations. This helps me to better accept the evil nature manifested in humans, understanding they have not yet awakened to their true calling by God. It also assures me that God has everything under control. I don’t need to put myself in a position of judgement or revenge; that is God’s alone. I must pray for the evil-influenced spirits to awaken and be reunited with their creator. This generally quells my overwhelming, not-so-divine, human desire to take them out; however righteous it might feel at the time! 😝
It is worth remembering that all humans are God’s creation, but not all of them are His children. Some are children of the devil.
“By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.”
Thank you, Janice, for shining light on that verse. I'd also suggest one read and contemplate Matthew 13:24-30, the parable of the wheat and the tares ... which explains why both are allowed to grow side-by-side until the harvest ... at which time the tares will be thrown in the fire.
Justice need not be instantaneous to remain justice.
It will be up to the Righteous King Judge (our risen Savior) to tell who are the "sheep" and who are the "goats" on that "great and mighty White Throne Judgment" .
