Blind Justice or Blinded Justice?

Do you know the meaning of "Blind Justice"? It originally meant something good...not any more.

Statues depicting justice often feature a blindfolded woman. The blindfold depicts “blind justice”—judging impartially and fairly, not by appearance, position, race, or background. 

However, in our modern world, those representing justice are often blind in another way, blind to biblical truth. 

Instead of protecting innocent people from murder, they support the child sacrifice of abortion. Instead of giving Christians the freedom to live according to Scripture, they force LGBTQ propaganda on businesses and schools. Instead of showing impartiality, they protect worldly philosophies while censoring God’s truth. 

Roe v. Wade was an excellent example of the Supreme Court’s blindness to truth. And when they corrected their evil decision, it angered spiritually-blind people. 

Lest we think there aren't very many spiritually blind people, we should read 2 Corinthians 4:4:

“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”  

Ephesians 2:1-2 explains that unsaved people are “obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.” 

People don’t need to be involved in Satan worship to be under Satan’s power. 

“Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 

Let’s stand firm, dear Christians, with eyes reflecting the light of truth (Matthew 6:22).

Note: Some believe the term blind justice was originally used negatively to mean blind to injustice, but it eventually became a positive term depicting fairness.
