Rom2,1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. > OK - it means i do not really understand - when i tell a killer(extreme) 'you are a killer.' - am i already a killer anyway or does this make me to a killer? / When i hate my brother.... Mat5,21 You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. OK - it means (?)i do not really understand - still - it is the only way i can say, like this i would understand. -- kind of.
2 Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. > God sees every thing - SO HE KNOWS - Thank you God! The truth - i feel, the only one knowing the truth between people, in a conflict, is God - SO - the best thing to do is always to trust him. Maybe to ask questions: Did it mean that? Why you say that? Why did you do that? - Because i do not know the truth. Definitely NOT
3 So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? > NO! // is this addressed to self self-righteous people.?. I am condemned.
4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realising that God's kindness leads you towards repentance? > Or -> a change in the direction. WHY IS THAT COMING NOW? i can not follow -Do i need to? --
I know this is a scripture for me! It is written in context of judging! I am maybe not so much about judging others but i judge my selfe very often! Not good enough in this and that and here and their ... i am often constant judging myself about not being what i think i should be.
But Paul tells me:
Do i show contempt for the riches > How rich is God? No numbers and no words can describe!
Riches of his kindness > Do i know friendly people? God is not measurable more friendly! Imagine a friendly God like this! SOOOOOO friendly. Never angry. Joyful! God is so friendly to me! ALL THE TIME! Did i ever met a friendly very nice powerful person who really cars about me? NO - do not remember - just can imagine how it does feel to be around such a person! Be with millionaire of kindness! :-)
Riches of his tolerance > Ha - this is really new now! Never new that God is tolerant, that he is even rich in that! {4 Oder verachtest du den Reichtum seiner Gütigkeit und Geduld und Langmut und weißt nicht, dass die Güte Gottes dich zur Buße leitet?} don't know why in english is tolerance and in German is patience! It is not the same word! > {4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?}forbearance - Nachsicht / It is more like: Loves covers a lot of Sin! At least i understand it like this! Someone who is so riche in his kindness, that i can not measure but also in the same way riche of his forbearance! How amazing!
Riches of his patience > And then this too - God is patience - riches of his patience - ok, i do not know what to say again.
BUT
God is kind, forbearance, patience. I feel like, when does God anything offend at all, if he is like this?
But how quick am i offended?
BEING KIND - AM I?
FORBEARANCE - more likely
PATIENCE - towards the outside
Break
5 But because of your stubbornness > stubbornness = Verstocktheit / ...
and your unrepentant heart, > unrepentant heart = Herz ohne Umkehr / God help me to truly repent!
you are storing up wrath against yourself > I don't understand this - WHY
for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. /?/
6 God will give to each person according to what he has done. > Why is that now - again - it is hard to follow
7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honour and immortality, he will give eternal life. > How do i find eternal life? seek glory, honour, immortality by doing good.
i can actually seek glory / honour / immortality
how to seek? By doing good. - BUT THE MOTIVATION IS: GLORY, HONOUR, IMMORTALITY8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. > self seeking / rejecting truth / follow evil - wrath and anger
Break
9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: > OK first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;
10 but glory, honour and peace for everyone who does good: > OK first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
11 For God does not show favouritism. > I see, that i don't get much - guess i need to read some scolar's - why is this not favouritism, when FIRST the Jew? But it does not seem important to me.
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. > Perishment where ever i am
13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. > Obedience : its all about obedience
14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law,
15 since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) > Very amazing
16 This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. > men's secrets - they will be judged. Do i have a secret now? I can not hink of anything. People now me.
wow - 3 days to read this all - i can not say that i get it now.
OBEDIENCE = this stays with me.
would need to learn more about chapter 2 - will read it all together - it is going slower then Acts ;-)
