The Role of the Critics-- Their Beginning, Their Attributes, and Their End


Critics might have their role in society, but there is no place for them among God's true people. Critics are not leaders; they take no responsibility in how others react to their deadly statements. Their strength only lies in the power of finger pointing. They are without the tools or the ability to preserve; their guide is interpretations developed out of envy and jealousy.

They fall short of God's glory, therefore, they create their image by discounting the reputations and actions of others; they tear down but they do not rebuild, they pluck up, but they do not replant; they kill but they do not restore life.

They mimic their father, the first critic, the one who caused division among the angels against God. They mimic Cain, the one who to kill his brother, Abel. They mimic the unbelievers, whose hearts filled with doubt, and crucified Jesus.

The job of critics is to destroy those who are good; unbeknown to them, they award themselves with the unfortunate curse of death.
