Offense and Judgement

The ministry of condemnation, as with most evil strategies, operates by deception; demons have no inherent authority on earth except what is granted by men (men are the agents of God created in the image of God and vested with the authority of God to judge and rule the earth). So, the dark ones lure humans (by the corrupt nature within them) to heap judgment on one another: which gives them an opportunity to "help" enforce these condemnation.

Romans 14 says,

Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself.

For if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

The context of this chapter regards people taking offense at brothers having different beliefs, style of worship, consumption of food & beverages, or holiday observations. Beware of offenses! and remember to speak first to the Lord about a person, to obtain His opinion and advice.
