At the risk of repeating myself - all you are doing is demonstrating is that everyone must agree with your position or they are - what - unChristian?
You are in a position to judge others?
My position is the same as Paul's claim. Not to judge the world and the Christians who struggle with sin. Paul only brings judgment on Christians who treat the Grace of God as a pass to do willful sexual immorality, coveting, idolatry, re·vile
ment
(i.e.: Abusively scolding at someone), or a drunkard, or an extortioner
(i.e.:a criminal who extorts money from someone by threatening to expose embarrassing information about them). That is willful sinning without care.
1 Corinthians 5:1-4 (New King James Version)
1 Corinthians 5
Immorality Defiles the Church
1 It is actually reported
that there is sexual immorality among you(Christians), and such sexual immorality as is not even named[
a] among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife!
2 And you are puffed up(Proud in the sin), and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3
For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Corinthians 5:9-13 (New King James Version)
Immorality Must Be Judged
9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet
I certainly
did not
mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with
anyone named a brother,
who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.
12 For what
have I
to do with judging those also who are outside?
(What do I have to do with judging the world...That is God's place to judge the world and not mine) Do you not judge those who are inside?
(Paul already knew Christians judge Christians...There is nothing new under the sun) 13 But those who are outside God judges.
(God's job and not mine) Therefore
“put away from yourselves the evil person.”(There stay away from "so-called" Christians. They have no intention to stop willful sinning. They are worse than the people of the world)[

What is Sexual Immorality?
If a person commits sexual and/or Lustful acts with another person and they aren't married too each other then this is considered Sexual Immorality. It is because no marriage(union) is establish that makes it Sexual Immorality. All sexual and/or Lustful acts is meant between a husband and wife. These acts out of marriage is out of order according to God's definition of marriage.
Of Course if I talk to a Christian with a mindset of "We can sin all we want and grace will be there", then I will try to council the person, with love in my advice, to the direction the bible teaches believers how to be Christians. Not to be legalistic and not to abuse the Grace of God at the same time. Both are extremes that give Christianity a sour taste to the mouth. Paul judges a certain group of Christians who indulge in Sexual Immorality. He instructs "Faithful" Christians to stay away and not even eat, at the same table, with these particular Christians. This is a rightful judgment.
Let us see what Jesus said about Judging.....
Matthew 7:1-5 (New International Version)
Matthew 7
Judging Others
1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
This is my personal testimony to the world. If I am not indulging in Sexual Immorality anymore could you still Judge me with under the "same measure"? How can you? I stop my sexual immorality as of April/2008. That is why Paul, in Romans 1 & 1 Corinthians 5, judges the Christians who indulge in Sexual Immorality. Paul wasn't in Sexual Immorality. That is why he judges people who call themselves "Brothers/Christians" who indulges in Sexual Immorality.
3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
I took out my "speck of sawdust" from my "eye" as of April/2008. Since that "Speck of sawdust" is out of my life could I look at my bother's "speck" in his eye in a righteous manner? The answer is yes.
5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Jesus states that if the speck is out of your eye then we can look into helping brothers/sister to take the speck from their "eye". Since my "speck of sawdust" of Sexual Immorality is out of my eye then that does not make me a hypocrite to look at anyone else "speck(s)". Then I could look in my brother's eye to take out the speck/sin out of his/her eye. Judging is only wrong when you are in the same sin as your brother/sister in Christ, when you are not out of that strong hold in your life. Once you are out of the "sin(s)" then you can rightfully help your brother/sister, with love, in his/her situation.
You guys think Judging is a "Curse-Word". That it is such a bad thing. It isn't when done in love. We are to do it in love and tell your brother/sister what sin he/her is struggling with and helping him/her out of that sin. That is assuming your brother/sister wants to stop sin. If not then he/she commits willful sin/lawlessness. Lawlessness is punishable by Hell/Second Death/Lake of Fire by God, in Matthew 13:41-42.
This also applies to women. For example, when Jesus fed the multitudes with the loaves of bread and fishes it never mentioned the women and Children. By scholars, it is understood there are women and children to each of the men in the event when Jesus fed the multitudes. i.e.: 5000( including women and children there....10000 to 12000 people in all considering all wives and children.) who were fed that day. With that understood we can apply this to other illustrations in the bible to other verses to men and women alike.
