Are we judging???

[ChristianCenturion]

I, as everyone, am going to make mistakes. It's human nature. But if I'm going to make a mistake about about something, I would rather do so on the side of emulating the characteristics of Jesus. Where is my aim? To be more like Him.

Please re-read your statement. Jesus didn't make mistakes. You may want to relax and see that I am trying to help you there, brother.

I didn't call Herny "the least of these." It was a qualifier to my broader statement. Again, I was simply trying to emulate Christ. If I'm going to get shot down for that... well then, so be it.

Well now that you have made clear what you did mean, I would say that it is more probable that it will be taken as such.

Some helpful advice would be that you may wish to look up the word illogical and use spell check once in a while.

Maybe you would like to look up the word "overall" if you're giving composition advice to others.

one should be weary of justifying error

You mean "wary."

Correct, wary would be the word I wanted - thank you.

Proverbs 17:10
A rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool.

Proverbs 19:25
Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke a discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.

Proverbs 27:5
Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

Oh my. Big misunderstanding. I wasn't suggesting that JESUS made mistakes. I was responding to the notion that showing love, compassion or mercy is a mistake when dealing with someone deemed to be "in sin." And my point is that if it IS a mistake to show compassion, then I would rather make that mistake than to be judgmental or too legalistic. But thanks for being willing to help me. I always appreciate that!
