As you judged others ( truly and in your heart) so shall you be judged.

Now where is that from?

This is not Jesus' house, it's our house. We never broke anything in his house.

I was speaking about God. Our Creator, in whatever sense that means to you.

How does one listen and partake in Him?

Its not that in depth :)

Do as He did. Love as He loved. Forgive as He forgave. etc, etc.

I think I read it somewhere, might have been a fortune cookie...

Exactly, this is not God's house, it is the house he built for us. He gave it to us. If we break his wonderful gift it would suck, but that's in the realm of possibility that he has allowed for.

It was probably on Mythbusters.

Shelby makes an excellent point about judgment.

Calling someone a liar (when they are a liar) is not judging. It is simply what it is. Calling someone a liar, then telling them and believing that they deserve to die for it... is judging. Or even just treating them as if they are worth less then the dirt beneath your feet... this is judging them as being unworthy, which is not something any of us is capable or has the right to do.

That depends on the blatency of the lie, and whether it can verified or not, no?

Did he? (serious question) Or did he give it to us to live in, take care of, rule over... but the house itself belongs to him. (like tenants and landlords)

And what about the people (because I mean them as well from my allegory - wife, children, pets, etc) who belong to Him, through His son? What if we 'break' one of those?

When God gave us this world to rule over, it meant just that and all that goes with it.

To rule means to govern and to be responsible for all.

It is our responsibility to take care of this world and all in it.
