"Every man did what was right in their own eyes"

No absolutes. Relativism. Rights- of this and of that. We have many perspectives and terms for it today. In the book of Judges we see the words in the title. No absolutes, no true measure of right and wrong, except your own personal one. Politicians take the concept to a new level, and what is right and wrong is changed according to our own absolutes.

Two idols have been chosen by media, special interest groups, and that is 'right in their own eyes'. And most of the rest. Your silence, and then participation, confirms that it is 'right' in your eyes as well. What follows will be that others can not even be seen at the ballot box, no other option. A new 'right'.

As we move on and study Kings and Chronicles, and the prophets, we read time and again how that this leader did that which was evil, and the whole nation was affected. Or, this one did right, but, did not tear down idolatry totally, or even worshipped them. Again, the whole nation was affected. And a few times, one did right, and his heart was to tear down all the idols, and turn back to God without the idolatry, and the whole nation was affected.

In a lot of eyes now, a little idolatry is "right in their own eyes". They both mention Jesus Christ, though plainly and obviously that belief is not guided by the inspired word of God, our scripture, the Holy Bible. All of the scriptures witness as to who He is, will not be accepted, by either. That is right in their own eyes, and most within christendom as well.

For almost two thousand years, since His resurrection, and the witness of those who saw Him, and were taught of Him personally, the 'canon' has been what is contained in the Holy Bible. The 'tainted', and the 'uninspired', have been rejected of christians, because of what those versions taught, regarding Jesus Christ.

Little by little, almost unnoticeable to most, that has been changing. Of no surprise this view of 'relativism', and no absolutes, has taken foothold as well. What is 'right' in the eyes of many now within christendom, is evolution, (theistic we add now), at least some do. The guidance of the New Testament is only partly accepted now. Not only of our leaders in secular society, but within the church as well.

If one wants to use what the whole of scripture teaches, and wants others to as well, that is now considered 'negative', a person who just wants to be, what are some of the new terms, a 'bible-thumper', one who just wants to hit people over the head with the bible? And those are the nicer worded terms.

Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." Is this an absolute? In our nation, and in the world? What is "right in their own eyes"? There are so many views of what is 'right' today, that I for one can not even begin to list them all. I think I will just believe, confess, abide, and remain, in JESUS CHRIST. And all that the Holy Scripture says. It is He who will be judging all, and every single one will account to Him. Even those who 'did what was right in their own eyes".

  The Bible is the inspired word of God. If He wrote it, do people think that He put some stuff that was true and a bunch of things that are lies? Either it's written by God or it's not. If it isn't, why bother with it? If it is, then every word is true. If there are some translation problems here and there, a true student of the Bible can easily learn the truth - especially in the computer age, when almost all knowledge is available to anyone who can spell Google. Keep blogging. - bibleguy

  Yes it is brother. Any error is on mans part, not Gods part. Thanks for reading and commenting. Not sure if this will show as a comment or a reply. iPhone is not easy to read and navigate on. But the spelling corrections are great! God Bless you brother.

  Judas is one person, and example, that we both ignore, and yet we also need to learn from. Matt. 27:3-5 tells us that when he saw that he was condemned, he repented himself, brought the money back to the chief priests and elders, and confessed his sin. Then he went out and hanged himself. In Chapter 26, just a few verses previous, we see how that Peter also went out, and wept bitterly, after he had denied his Lord.

I desire no drawn-out theological study of this. Different conclusions would most likely be drawn. None of which would change anything about what they did, or the end results, for them. What is it that we learn? How does that relate to us?

Peter was willing, but the flesh was weak, Jesus said. Judas, had his heart in the wrong place, and that led to his tragic end. Personally I see that what was in their "heart", mattered. And in the mind, soul, and where they placed their strength. I see them all in there, personally, in each account. Judas did more what was right in his own eyes. What he did as a disciple, was more for self, than for his Lord. Scripture bears this out.

The point. This is serious. Our devotion to Him is no light matter. They saw the same miracles. Heard the same teachings. Walked and talked with the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. It is not what is right in our own eyes, is it? No, it is not. It is what is in the heart, soul, mind, and strength. Repentance means little without being from there, isn't that what we learn here? Which one are we?
