when judgement is ok and when it is not
Quote From: lzj4v6I always thought good Christians didn't judge others...granted I wasn't raised attending church but I do beleive in GOD...I just think that a lot of christians preach but don't practice what they preach...
I have three small children and I will teach them to be accepting of others whether they are black, white, asian, purple, green, pink , gay or straight...isn't that what makes the world go round...DIVERSITY...
I have a lot of gay friends and they are probably the most wonderful, caring, non-judgemental people you will ever meet and yet everyday for them they encounter mean spirited and judgemental individuals...do you think that is easy for them...is it the life you would CHOOSE?...I doubt it...but the fact of the matter is they are who they are and they deserve love and acceptance the same as anyone else...have you ever stopped to think that they have feeling also that can be hurt just as easily as yours?...walk a day in their shoes and maybe you would understand...
Read 1 Cor Ch 5. You'll see it says that it is ok for believers, (members of the body of Christ, the Church) to judge other members of the Church body. But 1cor5:12 says, What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you.
If you want to teach your children biblical examples, join a non-denominational Bible Based church.
