What the bible teaches about Boundaries - Building on the Idea of Salt

[jennifer_bloom]

I've met a small minority of Christians who justify cursing and condemning and judging others with the belief the psalmist and the book of proverbs curses and condemns and judges others

But Paul said the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God

What would be more correct to say is that in psalms and proverbs judgment is done to maintain health boundaries for the sake of self interest and it is also done to preserve salvation in the elect who face persecution and it is used to protect the weaker and helpless person from the stronger and powerful oppressor who abuses and takes advantage of them

The wrath of God in the bible is used to protect people and not to harm or injure them - it is used to save lives and isn't an ego trip for somebody who wants to boost their self esteem and vanity at the expense of another's happiness or welfare or misfortune - that isn't righteous

I said in a previous post that in the bible salt is a symbol for spiritual judgment

Spiritual judgment makes somebody merciful and protective and gracious when they encounter somebody who is being abusive or destructive to others

Carnal judgment makes somebody violent and abusive and vindictive and makes them hate and abuse and hunger for punishment when they encounter a wrong doer

In the same way salt is consumed in the mouth when the mouth is closed

So spiritual judgment is meant to be hidden and not oracularly expressed to an indiscriminate audience of unknown origin and pathos

And sometimes the expression is testimonial and psychologically sensory and not verbal or cosmetically overt

In the same way intellectual judgment like Angela Duckworth which although a brother of spiritual judgment is meant to be public and given to all domains both spiritual and secular

But true spiritual judgment - though an essential component of life - is meant to be hidden and secretive

So the four judgements I've discussed are

1 - Protective Judgement

2 - Spiritual Judgment

3 - Intellectual Judgment

4 - Carnal Judgment (The Devil in these 4 types)

Salt is a natural deterrent for anything evil spirits or demons I use salt on my paranormal investigations along with holy water and some Stones like selenite onyx black tourmaline agate stuff like that it's good to have a salt mine if you are in a haunted area

I remember one quote that has stayed with me which said before you judge be sure you can not be judged Along the same lines before you criticise or accuse walk a mile in my shoes To many look for the reasons for violence in any religion but if you take any God You will find love not war

Judge not for what judgement you judge shall be put upon you in judgment.


One of the apostles asked Jesus Christ, how many should I forgive. Christ replied infinite forgiveness & mercy.


Scripture I remind myself is last commandment from Christ is to love one another by such shall others know we are born again Christ.


His hands were pierced to show us our hands can serve oppressed. Feet pierced to show us how we should walk as He did to love and be merciful. Heart pierced to show our heart should always love.

"Spiritual judgment makes somebody merciful and protective and gracious when they encounter somebody who is being abusive or destructive to others"

You mean like Jesus when he cleansed the Temple of the Money Changers? Or when he pronounced his woes upon the scribes and the Pharisees? You might want to rethink some of your more novel ideas about what Scripture teaches.

No I mean Jesus when he died on the cross and protected the prostitute from being murdered

There's a book about boundaries by Townsend and cloud. It's very good.
