Judge Judy is arrogant and intimidating. She shows no compassion or mercy for anyone. She is self righteous and a bully. She resents those who are poor. It is easy for her to yell at them, "to get a job," while she sits on her throne and collects $100 million dollars a year.
The Bible states, "DO NOT JUDGE, LEST YE BE JUDGED." (Matt.7:1) "And because iniquity (wickedness or injustice) shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (Matt. 24:12) Just because she has the title of "Judge" in front of her name, she is NOT GOD. She is quick to spit out how smart and wise she is. "Those who are wise in their own eyes - are FOOLS." (Proverbs. 3:7 and 12:15) Justice is when something that is wrong is made right. "While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption." (2 Peter 2:19)
None is without sin. "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness." (l Cor. 3:19) Politicians, police, detectives, prosecutors, and judges, have all adopted Judge Judy attitudes. They harass and bully average citizens. They persecute the poor with no mercy. "You appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity." (Matt. 23:28) "They come as ANGELS OF LIGHT" (2 Cor. 11:14,15). Professing to be curbing crime, while all along they are vain and full of conceit.
"Woe unto you, ye LAWYERS! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be born, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers." (Luke 11:46) They manipulate and deceive, and lust for power and wealth, then they will boldly approach the Lord at the last judgment, pleading, "Lord, Lord, have we not done good works, etc. - and the Lord will say unto them, "Get away from me ye workers of iniquity, I know ye not." (Matt. 25:42-46)
"Iniquity" is defined as "wickedness or injustice.". They will reap what they sow. And likened to Lazarus and the rich man, they will be the ones begging for their victims to dip the tip of their fingers in water to put on their perching tongues. (luke 16:19-25) God has many commandments in the Bible for all mankind to obey. Those commands don't just apply to the least of the least. They apply to those who have the power and means to provide justice to the lost, and mercy to those who stray. He is a God of forgiveness, not a God of hate. "If ye forgive not men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will not forgive your trespasses.." (Matt. 6:15)
Our leaders have become self absorbed in their own lust for power and control over others. They rule in wickedness and expect rewards for their cruelty. "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked beareth rule, t;he people mourn. (Prov. 29:2) The only reason crime is escalating is because too many of our leaders, "Create crimes out of nothing," when human nature steps off the curb for a minute. Those in control stand in the gutter themselves, while inflicting persecutions on those at their mercy. "For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy." (James. 2:13)
Little do our authority figures heed that the Bible tells us "THE FIRST WILL BE LAST AND THE LAST WILL BE FIRST." (Matt. 19:30) "For what is a man profit if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Matt. 16:26)
