I see. You didn't post it with the intention to counter (debate with) those who thought that it was not okay to judge?
Because I can accuse you of debating
And you can accuse me of debating
And round and round and round we go never really getting further ahead.
Instead... I choose to give you the benefit of the doubt and to assume that your intention was to offer some support to those who think judging is okay (or those who might be struggling with the fact that they judge). Why? Because its a decent, humane thing to do basically. To assume the best of people rather than the worst.
I really wish... That people could extend that same courtesy back to me. Instead of reading my posts as debating or condemning to try and extract the good that one might be able to see, or to simply ignore them if one really can't find any worth. My stated intention: Was to say that I understand how people who take judging to be okay gain support for their view from the bible. That I also understand how people who take judging to be not okay gain support for their view from the bible. There are lots of other reasons why judging may or may not be okay in different circumstances (e.g., one might be trying to maintain a friendship etc etc). I really wish that people could give me the benefit of the doubt instead of clinging to the assumption that my sole purpose in posting here is to hijack threads and undermine peoples faith.
Because I could judge you similarly and round and round we would go.
Peace.
