OP, something about the way you've phrased it: "...our Lord, Jesus Christ." POW! I LOVE it! YES! Thank GOD Christ is "our Lord"!
We are NOT possessed by (under the lordship of) unclean spirits of ego or self-righteousness. Let JESUS be Lord and GOD! LOL! Smartest decision any human can make! All the rest of creation honors Him as "MASTER"!! Maybe we should get a clue? LOL!
Christ Jesus WILL BE the Advocate AND the Judge! Christ our Lord looks on the heart and He will show mercy to those hearts that He owns and even to some that we cannot understand! That is HIS call! Yes, be discerning regarding the fruits of those who appear to be unrepentant - but JUDGEMENT is way above my pay-grade!
The rest? Not even DEATH can hide them... [I can't believe I even wrote that! YIKES!]
AND, I don't even want to THINK about the wrath of God... Pray for REPENTANCE (yours & my own and theirs, as well!)
