A Unique Perspective

[GodsAmbassador2Nicolette]

I just borrowed your word. So I will let you answer that question. (but I don't think we are supposed to judge, but we can have our own opinions about the world, but only God can judge it.....I apologize...lol, I was just used "judge" because you did...lol)

Are there certain situations when it is ok for a Christian to judge?

 

[heavensangelwv]

Wow... JP showed me this...

Perhaps....if you are a judge or maybe on a jury, although this might be a different kind of judging...lol

This is a perfect example of why I believe in hate crime legislation, why I believe WV should have the death penalty. I will be waiting to see whether the Logan County officials consider this a hate crime, they better.

Matthew 7
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Do you believe that the above is talking about a time when it is appropriate for us to judge someone else?

 

[GodsAmbassador2Nicolette]

No I do not. These are not examples of when it would be ok for us to judge someone else. We can have opinions, but in the above example this is an area where only God can judge. It is not for us to say who is a true Christian and who is not, we obviously may wonder or have ideas of who is and who is not, but we can't pass judgement.

 

[GodsAmbassador2Nicolette]

We must watch out for these types of people, but we can not judge them. We must avoid these people if we find them and not pay attention to what they have to say.

 

[heavensangelwv]

The Holy Spirit of God resides within genuine believers, therefore His presence will result in "the fruit of the Spirit" being displayed in their lives (Gal.5:22-23). And this fruit-bearing is the only visible evidence by which we can discern if someone is truly saved or not. So when a person's walk does not match up with their mouth, we must be very wary of them.

 

[GodsAmbassador2Nicolette]

true, but we can not pass judgement on these people, we just need to be wary of them

 

[GodsAmbassador2Nicolette]

I'm glad I went and read Galations 5:22-23, at first I thought you were quoting scripture, but now I see you were not...lol

 

[heavensangelwv]

The fruits of the Spirit.....

 

[GodsAmbassador2Nicolette]

I know now, you were telling me where you got your idea, but weren't quoting those verses.

Do you think it is ok to judge from Matthew 7:15-20? You aren't commenting on my thoughts...lol

 

[GodsAmbassador2Nicolette]

Well, I am going to bed. Take care and good night.

 

[heavensangelwv]

I think it is very dangerous when we truly get into judging other people. We will be judged by the same degree we are judging them. I don't think that Matthew 7 is talking about judging every person you meet, but if you do know someone who is kind of acting odd... Perhaps you should step back and really think about if they are acting in the way you would want for someone you associate with to act. If they aren't... Bring it to their attention. Maybe they did not realize what they were doing. If everything that you tries fails... Perhaps it would be best if you would separate yourself from that person. It doesn't mean that you are saying they are not a true Christian... but you just do not want to be a part of what they are doing.

◘ Do you believe in love at first sight? Have you ever experienced it?
○ How long does it take to be filled with wisdom? Are we born with it or is it acquired?
◘ Is it possible to love purely without expecting anything (even love itself) in return?
○ What if you were a person of pure unconditional love? How would you think, feel, and act, and how different would your life be? How would other people respond to you?
◘ You have a fatal disease and have been given 6 months to live. You are making peace with all the people you’ve wronged in your life. Who is the first person on your list and what would you say to them?

You should watch Glenn Beck on CNN Headline around 9:10 tonight... It is so funny.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Have you ever experienced it?

I don't think that I believe in love at first sight, and no I have never experienced it.

How long does it take to be filled with wisdom? Are we born with it or is it acquired?

Is is a life long process. Every experience whether good or bad, big or little, important or insignificant, adds to our wisdom.

Is it possible to love purely without expecting anything (even love itself) in return?

Yes it is, but it would be very difficult.

What if you were a person of pure unconditional love? How would you think, feel, and act, and how different would your life be? How would other people respond to you?

Wow, if I were a person of unconditional love, I would be like God. I would definitely treat everyone better. I think some people would respond very positively and some would think I was off my rocker...lol

You have a fatal disease and have been given 6 months to live. You are making peace with all the people you’ve wronged in your life. Who is the first person on your list and what would you say to them?

I am not at liberty to say.

 

[heavensangelwv]

Why are you not at liberty to say?
