Jesus said his words were Spirit and they give life. His meaning of temple was not the literal temple. he meant his body. The apostles were given the Spirit at Pentecost. Their words written in Scripture are Spirit.
What is mankind's definition of righteous? A moral person, right? It's not the Spirit's definition to understand Scripture.
2 Peter 2:7 "Lot, a righteous man" He was going to throw his 2 daughters out to be raped.
JAMES 2:25 "Rahab the prostitute considered righteous"
Abraham fathered children by 5 women, 2 were his wives.
All three trusted in God. That's the Spirit's definition for you to use.
PSALM 9 : 8 "He will judge the world in righteousness"
Jesus said:
JOHN 5 : 30 "I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just"
The churches have taken their meaning of justice instead of the Spirits' Here is the Spirits':
ZECHARIAH 7 : 9 "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Administer TRUE justice; show mercy and compassion to one another."
So, Jesus said he judged only what he heard and his judgment would show mercy and compassion. When Jesus comes back the final day what do the wicked ask?
REVELATION 6 : 16 "they called to the mountains and the rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb."
So, God says:
JEREMIAH 18 : 17 "I will show them my back and not my face in the day of their trouble."
PSALM 143 : 7 "Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit."
Another word to define - "WRATH". God's wrath is allowing you to do it your way. It's always something bad because people are doing the opposite of what God tells them.
Why are the people running away from God in the end? They run because the churches have gotten them to believe in a god that punishes his children. They say they will burn in the fire. Unfortunately God's appearance looks like a devouring fire. A wicked person is one that sides with Satan thinking God is not agape love (unconditional love).
PSALM 9 : 16&17 "The Lord is known by his justice (mercy and compassion); the wicked are ensnared by the works of their hands (they've made up this vengeful god that is going to burn people). The wicked return to the grave, ALL nations (people) that forget God."
Peter says the earth is going to explode at the second coming(2Pet3:10). It says God is coming back with New Jerusalem to rescue us before it blows. So, what's the problem?
ZECHARIAH 2 : 5 "And I myself will be a wall of fire around it."
You're raised from your grave to a planet about to explode and you see this huge wall of fire. What do the one's that preach a god that burns his children do?
ISAIAH 2 : 19 "Men flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty (his appearance), when he rises to shake the earth."
God asks, "What's wrong with you".
ISAIAH 53 : 4&5 "Will evil doers never learn................There they were, overcome with dread, where THERE WAS NOTHING TO DREAD."
I could go into a lot more detail, but almost everyone is too willing to reject the truth as Jesus said they would.
