“In no uncertain terms, we demanded that you not teach in this name. And look at you! You have filled Jerusalem with your teaching.

government is set up by God.

Wow, let's twist the scriptures into a double knot pretzle shall we? The scripture talks about obedience to the laws. If the law tells you you have to do such and such then you should obey. The scripture also tells us that if the laws counter God's laws then we should disobey man's laws and obey God's. God's laws are supreme over man's.

Nobody is demanding you personally enter a gay marriage, if you find it distasteful.

If you lead a gay friend to Christ who happens to be legally married to a same-sex partner...would it be a sin for them to divorce? What about remarriage in a heterosexual relationship?

Legal marriage has nothing to do with Biblical marriage. Can two men or two women consummate their marriage to become joined as one in the eyes of God? If they can't, then they were never "married".

The sinner's prayer is not a biblical requirement for salvation. Faith alone is.

Faith alone can justify me before God, according to the Apostle Paul. Sounds pretty important to me.
Unless a person were genuinely becoming more loving, I'd tend to doubt that faith was real. Faith can't stand alone and be a saving faith. I think this is what James is talking about in his Epistle, there is a kind of dead faith that is worthless, just as there is a kind of religion that is worthless. Love is what marks out a true believer in Christ from the world- someone with faith in Christ that is salvific has moved beyond the narrow self-interest and fearfulness, the "curvature into the self".

And, when the Law says you are not allowed to preach the gospel?

or for your church to read the Bible?

or tells you what verses of the Bible you are not allowed to expound on?

I agree God's laws rule over governments.

And man was not to eat from the tree of knowledge either.
God walked with Adam in the Garden.
We don't see that happening today.
We don't even have that garden.
As a result, God does not create humans directly anymore.
You can't tell me marriage is only between a man and a woman
and include babies that science is unable to determine the gender.

Did you know in these cases that parents determine the sex of the baby
and they get surgery to make them the sex that the parents decide?

Now, how are you going to make rules for these kids?

How are you going to make the proper identification if the medical
community is unable to?

That's OK. People disappear when I ask these practical questions.
They mumble something about Unix or something.

Those are very good questions. But we are not talking about people born with both sets of genitals. We are talking about homosexuals. The thing is a society is fully able to say homosexuals can get married. But God says practicing homosexuality is a sin. He also calls a marriage one between man and a woman. Since he does not recognize a homosexual marriage as legitimate divorce for them is a civil matter not a spiritual one. They are not committing sin by divorcing but are committing sin by practicing homosexuality.

That's what Jesus was trying to say. You are not able to
identify sin in other people's lives. Or Gods view of it.

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 7:37-50 - English Standard Version

That passage has nothing to do with recognizing sin in others. It has to do with forgiveness of sin and repentance and love of Christ. As people we all are sinners but those that recognize the depth of their own sin and come to Christ with the humility of this woman are forgiven. They were asking why Jesus accepting this terrible sinner. Which is what Jesus does. He doesn't reject anyone who comes to him with the same heart as this woman. She showed the depth of her love for him by what she did. Practicing homosexuals are welcome to repent and come to Jesus just like every other person in this world. They are sinners just like all of the rest of us. Any one of us may not have practiced homosexuality but we have all practiced other things that have separated us from God.

And I do imagine that you have sin in your life, and I don't imagine that I can see it or label
it in you or in others. I don't ask anyone to repent of what I imagine are their sins against God.

They will come to God if God chooses and they will only repent
of what THEY know to be sins.....not your list.

John 7:51
Verse Concepts
"Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?"


Judging others has nothing to do with recognizing sin in one another. Those outside if Christ are lost end of story. They are condemned already. I don't need to judge them they are already judged as sinners and lost no matter what sins they are involved in. However we are to recognize sinful behaviors of those claiming to be believers. If you say I am a believer but live sinfully I as a fellow believer are to go to you as my brother or sister and point out the sin in your life for the purpose of encouraging you to get in right relationship with God. We do it not to condemn but to restore. Homosexuals outside the body of Christ are lost not because they are homosexuals but because they haven't come to Christ and accepted homas their Lord and Savior. They are no different than anyone else who hasn't accepted Christ. Practicing homosexuals within the body of Christ are to be spoken with by the other believers just like any other believer who is practicing any other sin and be helped and encouraged to repent and stop sinning before they are removed from salvation. If they continue to walk in sin then they can be removed from the church.

27 Bible verses about Judging Others

Actually you are incorrect.
I wrote to you in my earlier letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.But I wasn’t talking about the sexually immoral people in the outside world by any means—or the greedy, or the swindlers, or people who worship false gods—otherwise, you would have to leave the world entirely!But now I’m writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls themselves “brother” or “sister” who is sexually immoral, greedy, someone who worships false gods, an abusive person, a drunk, or a swindler. Don’t even eat with anyone like this.What do I care about judging outsiders? Isn’t it your job to judge insiders?God will judge outsiders. Expel the evil one from among you! - 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 Bible Gateway passage: 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 - Common English Bible

That is just one there are others. Those that like to use the don't judge thinking are pulling verses out of context most often. Scripture is used to reprove and exhort. Jesus himself told us himself that we can recognize fault in others. We are prohibited from being self righteous we are not prohibited from seeing sin in fellow believers and speaking to them about it.

Jesus replied, “I did one work, and you were all astonished.Because Moses gave you the commandment about circumcision (although it wasn’t Moses but the patriarchs), you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.If a man can be circumcised on the Sabbath without breaking Moses’ Law, why are you angry with me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?Don’t judge according to appearances. Judge with right judgment.” - John 7:21-24 Bible Gateway passage: John 7:21-24 - Common English Bible

Jesus was speaking to people who were judging him on the law and Jesus told them don't just judge on the law but judge righteously.

Paul says if we catch someone sinning we are to go to them and restore them to right living. If we are not to see sinful behavior how can we do that? How can we reprove or rebuke others if we are not allowed to see sin in our fellow believers?

We can, but we must also be self examining as well. To say I am wonderful and you are not is self righteous. To say you are dinning brother and you must get right is not as long as we recognize and acknowledge that we too need to be rebuked at times. I come out of live and concern for your well being not out of a heart that says I am so much better than you. That would be wrong.

And that would be judging by appearances. Also not allowed.
And not attending church, I don't judge.
But having attended church, there is no difference.
It's people outside the church who walk in and are found inside.
I've never been able to spot any differences.
According to Josh McDowells research, there is no difference.
So any misguided efforts at treating people different than
you would like them to treat you, gets one no results, in reality.

You misunderstand. The church is not a building. The church is the body of Christ believers. We can and are to judge each other as believers or those that claim to be believers. An unbeliever who walks into our building is not to be judged for they are judge's already. They are lost and in need of a savior. We should look at the that way and try and share with them the live of Christ and leave judging out of it. But once they become a believer we are to help them grow in Christ and sometimes that means we have to point out sin in their lives in order to help them. Then we have be prepared for them to point out sin in our lives in order to help us. It's our responsibility to look after one another in love because it is NOT loving to let a brother or sister walk in sin where they fall away from the Lord and lose their salvation over it. We must try and help each other to stay on the straight and narrow. But we MUST do it in a humble loving fashion recognizing that we may fall into the exact same thing. I think often that is missing in the church. There is too much self righteousness and not enough humility.

Brothers and sisters, if a person is caught doing something wrong, you who are spiritual should restore someone like this with a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourselves so you won’t be tempted too.Carry each other’s burdens and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. - Galatians 6:1-2 Bible Gateway passage: Galatians 6:1-2 - Common English Bible

Brothers and sisters, if a person is caught doing something wrong, you who are spiritual should restore someone like this with a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourselves so you won’t be tempted too.Carry each other’s burdens and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. - Galatians 6:1-2 Bible Gateway passage: Galatians 6:1-2 - Common English Bible

You misunderstand. "Caught in a sin" is about them suffering,
not a police action by you, catching them red-handed.

A sin is in the mind of the beholder and their personal walk with
God, not others.
