This is very good and all but how can you "speak out against sin" and judge not at the same time?
GraffitiThought, Welcome to C-Unite!
There is a huge difference in judging actions by weighing evidence (juries do it daily) and reading one’s thoughts and judging them to everlasting death. Only God has the authority to do the later.
For instance, depending on how old you are, you may remember a guy known as “Son of Sam” – a serial killer named David Berkowitz. Mr. Berkowitz was caught and judged through the evidence against him and found guilty. He admits his guilt. He admits he deserves the punishment handed him – in fact, he believes he should have received the death penalty. However, Mr. Berkowitz now has one of the most famous prison ministries there is – and it is a true ministry, not a fake one to attempt to gain freedom or forgiveness for the crimes he committed. He has said he doesn’t deserve to be out of prison. Now he is responsible for leading hundreds or maybe even thousands to Christ.
Now I put to you – for his crimes he is rightly being punished. But, should it be man’s call whether he spends eternity in hell, or should that be God’s decision? What do you think God’s decision will be?
Thank you for welcoming me.
I'm sorry to see that you avoided my question. I have yet to see someone judge someone else's actions without making it into a personal thing. It just doesn't happen.
