First before anything, I define this word according to the dictionary of the Royal Academy of English Language:
1.Trato favor or against someone or something to act or to judge a case. 2.Inclinación
for or against someone else.
3.Prevención in favor or against persons or property which does not take account of equity or fairness.
In view of these definitions can be said to be partial in a case relates to justice, since it acts, not looking at the seriousness of the matter, but looking through the filter of friendship, closeness to the person or crony in question. This is something that in this world we see every day: in jobs where you have "an outlet", skipping the election process so, if you a friend in public finances that will resolve or remove the fines you if you are a friend of the judge who will judge with equity but not deliver to your family's rightful retribution for their actions and many more things to see and hear every day . In all these cases there is something in common: a lack of total honesty, a breach of the integrity and contempt for justice. Whether this happens or this happening in the world can be a "relatively normal", the problem comes when a believer to use this treatment for or that bias with a friend, putting him somewhere or leadership position in church or being stumbling Gospel for wanting to justify the actions of his friend.
This is a serious matter. There are no excuses before God, if something that would not tolerate a stranger happens to be a source of justification on our part for a loved one, is that we have our interructor "OFF" in this area of \u200b\u200bour lives.
is easy to find answers, asking, "How will God this?, What is your will, What will the opinion of this?. But even if we raise these issues wrong, we have the most accurate and truthful answer on the holy word of God.
Proverbs 10:9 He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be broken.
8:34 Blessed is the man listen to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting for the posts of my doors.
There is a clear example of someone who slipped to live in the integrity of God to pervert his way, not listened to God, not obeyed, did not ensure justice and the consequences were dire.
In 1 Samuel 2, verse 12 onwards, talks about the sons of Eli, who have done evil in the eyes of God. Eli, knowing what they were doing their children, did nothing about it because it was bigger than her love for them that honor God and did not hear the warning of God and we all know how it ended.
This is an example of lack of integrity, honesty and impartiality when dealing with a matter. Today
know some pastors who are able to lie, hide the truth, get involved in shady business, doing whatever it takes to cover their children or defend. Probably the same people, if it were your family would be able to ask to call down fire from heaven appalled by the injustice and the sins of others. And I wonder, does the fact that someone is our friend or our insider gives us the right to see different things as God sees them? Loving more integrity, fairness and justice, despite our pain in the flesh because we love that person, or divert our hearts, saddening and the Lord?. In Matthew 10:37-39 can read and realize that because of Christ we suffer, we rejected when we take the difficult but estimable decision to do the will of God, no matter what:
Mt 10:37 He who loves father or mother more than to me is not worthy of me: he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of me;
38 and who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of me.
39 He who finds his life will lose it and whoever loses his life for my sake shall find it.
Even if your father or mother living in sin or our children live far from God, we can not be partial and justify the unjustifiable.
God does not want to hear our arguments and our convincing explanations, He wants us to live according to His will, obey Him and please Him in all matters (even though as a Jeremiah you oppose yours, because the truth Jer. 12:6) or grieve the Holy Spirit dwells in us and is sure to reap the consequences of our time "bias" our lack of integrity.
