Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Phil. 4:8 ... Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
just ... justice
Justice requires some form of atonement ... reparation for a wrong or injury
Here are some examples of things that are "just" ...
===============
Numbers 25
The crime (offense) ... And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 3And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor:
The injured party ... and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
God was the injured party. The chosen people of God departed from God and committed whoredom with strange flesh ... then they left the way of God and gave sacrifices to the gods of the strange flesh ... they bowed down to strange gods and joined themselves to Baalpeor ...
The sentence imposed by God upon the evildoers
4And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
==============
Numbers 25:
Another crime against God and against the people of God:
6And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
This man flaunted sin in the face of the congregation.
Justice executed by Phinehas ...
7And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; 8And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 9And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
Commendation from God to Phinehas for setting things right ...
10And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: 13And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
14Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites. 15And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
Further sentence passed by God on the Midianites
16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 17Vex the Midianites, and smite them: 18For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
The Midianites vexed the children of God with their "wiles" ...
wiles means: devious or cunning stratagems employed in manipulating or persuading someone to do what one wants ...
And by doing these "wiles", they were bewitching the children of God ... therefore God smote the Midianites by the hand of Moses, HIS servant.
This is an example of "just" action.

Jn. 8 ... woman taken in adultery / Jesus judges the situation and brings atonement ...
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
The woman taken in adultery received a suspended sentence ... She was freed from the adultery but Jesus gave the life-long instruction (sentence) in the issue ... "Go, and sin no more."
This was a life-long sentence concerning her sin of adultery. If she committed adultery again after being freed by Jesus what would be her sentence?
Consider Hebrews 10 ... this shows the unpardonable sin ... and it is a sin where the person is freed from that sin by Jesus but then returns again to do that same sin again after Jesus has freed him ... to do such is the unpardonable sin ...
Heb. 10 ... For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Sin (wrong doing) requires an atonement ... but to be freed and then to return again to that same sin puts you in a position where there is no more sacrifice for that sin ...
John spoke of a "sin unto death" ... I Jn. 5 ... John told us not to pray for a "sin unto death" ... I Jn. 5 ... If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
We would have to be able to know what a "sin unto death" is in order not to pray for it. I believe we see a "sin unto death" when a person who calls himself Christian "repents" and then does the same sin again. We would not pray for such a person. We would put him away from us if the sins were those listed in I Cor. 5 as follows:
Sin inside the church ...
Paul gave us an example of dealing inside the church with sins of fornication, covetousness, idolatry, railing, drunkenness, and extortion.
Paul says ... I Cor. 5 ... But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
When a person who calls himself a Christian commits these specific sins, he must be put out of the congregation. To allow him to sit in the congregation will be as a leaven of sin that works through the whole congregation, says Paul instructing the NT church. I Cor. 5
