Leviticus 19:15
"You shall do no injustice in judging a case; you shall not be partial to the poor or show a preference for the mighty, but in righteousness and according to the merits of the case judge your neighbor."
1 Corinthians 6:2-3
"Do you not know that the saints (the believers) will [one day] judge and govern the world? And if the world [itself] is to be judged and ruled by you, are you unworthy and incompetent to try [such petty matters] of the smallest courts of justice?
Do you not know also that we [Christians] are to judge the [very] angels and pronounce opinion between right and wrong [for them]? How much more then [as to] matters pertaining to this world and of this life only!"
John 7:24
"Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly and righteously."
(All verses from the Amplified Version)
That's why I hate the Bible. I mean, there are too many contradictions. God can't make up his mind!
