THE MAIN POINT of the original thread is this:
Christians, GOD SAYS judging is not only acceptable, but demanded of you, and I encourage you to not fall to the tactics of non-believers in trying to persuade you that you are less than good for judging.
It's good that the others here, who are not Christians but still clarifying what they believe have seemed to work out their thoughts. However, I don't appreciate that they have taken my thread to do that for them. They can make a new thread in the General Forum or Social Forum perhaps, in their blogs, or even at the other site where members are used to confrontation, to discuss secular humanism and relativism etc. As I requested before, please quit hijacking my thread. Some of the comments have been quite devisive. BTW, the entire Book of Revelation to John is all about God's impending judgments for the non believers, and I suggest anyone so interested in His judgment to read the book (though, you have to read it believing He is the Source of Truth.)
When you as a Christian have turned your base of belief upsidedown with being "politically correct" you limit your ability to discern right from wrong. No wonder Christians are unable to help others like they used to. No wonder you feel inside that you "should" be able to give good words to another, but for some reason remain confused within. The
world's insistance for political correctness that might keep nations peaceful for a time, isn't what keeps religion and our belief's stronghold safe within our hearts and minds. There is a limit to being "pc." When the world says accept all things as equal, all peoples and intents as acceptable, a Christian must draw the line: God says so.
Paul wrote to the Galatians, who were dealing with many of the same troublesome non-believers, their intents were infiltrating the new Christian's church:<font color="purple"> O FOOLISH GALATIANS, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? (3:1)</font> In this particular case they were trying to bring works of the law back into the picture and not go with faith only. Every man wanted to decide his own way of salvation, his own works of good because someone was telling them it was all good, each man his own way could get salvation through the law. They wanted to exclude no one, but allow each way to be equal and good according to how that person desired to believe.
What they really wanted was to NOT follow what God said, NOT trust in God, NOT believe God and His Promises but do it their own way.
<font color="purple"> Enter in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there; ...beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.... wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.... Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, ...have we not done many wonderful works in thy name? ...and then will I profess unto them, I never knew you depart from me you that work iniquity." Matthew 7:13,14, 15, 16, 20, 22c,23
