This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord , And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord . Isaiah 54:17 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.54.17.NKJV My question is about the word condemn? What's the true meaning of this portion of scripture? In some of the things going on right now, this verse and specifically this Word has been in my thoughts. Anyone interested in helping with the full meaning of this command from The Lord?

They often do better at bringing out the meaning. "You will refute every tongue that accuses you." (NIV) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very tricky I know the Bible speaks about not judging but then it also comes back and says to approach people that are doing wrong in a soft gentle way and bring them back. I looked up the word condemn I could not find anything that would answer your question but I do find what you are saying interesting good thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
