"Believer" Inquisition

Juan Diego Jaramillo | August 25th, 2021

In "the house of the inquisition" in Cartagena, you can find an old scale in which they calculated the weight of the supposed witches; the inquisitors "believed" that if the woman weighed more than 60 kilos, the excess was the weight of the diabolical spirit or spirits that possessed her; with this "proof", they had the right to lead her to the stake, having as witnesses the inhabitants of the city.

I wonder: if these men had been placed on the scales, what would be the value of the weight on the instrument?

The importance of people has already been established by default by many who make up society, and it is for this reason that some of us would have been at the stake of "social justice" a long time ago.

Does this mean anything to God, and what does He consider as a measure to pronounce His perfect judgments?

Matthew 7:1-5 NKJV

1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Proverbs 21:2 NKJV

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the hearts.

1 Corinthians 4:3-5 NKJV

3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.
