Judge Everybody

[revolutio]

I have no problem with people judging one another. It is a basic human response to any situation to 'size-up' those around you be it in a physical, social, or moral way.

Everyone has opinions of one another, it is only natural. The problems start, in my opinion, when people start thinking of thier personal judgements as universally true or even valid at all outside their own mind.

look, if you all want to go around spouting hate, then carry on. goodbye.

Don't go! hatred can not be left to stew..you must get in there and fight the good fight

Jet Black, I wish both you and Jesus would post more often.
You have summed up my argument for me and more concisely, too. Thank you.

And you ignored the post that explained to you how that verse was taken out of context..color me surprised.

Funny, I haven't seen any hatred.

We disagree on much but I admire your ability to not rely on emotionalism to make your points..you are consise and usually respectful and I enjoy reading your posts.

Maybe I am just confused because I am new but I did not see an attack on minorities here. I did not see a hate message. I did see a call to discern right from wrong and good from evil and act accordingly. That is in accordance with scripture.

Thanks I always figured that if I make my point without having to rely on any slick speaking or emotional-appeals it will be all the more effective.

I'm not saying anything about YOU..I am saying that you used the lastest in gay buzzwords..calm down and be rational..btw if I did say you were gay would that be an insult to you and why?

I didn't say it would be an insult, just an allegation. just making sure, that is all.

I didn't ignore it; I'm a very slow typist. Why assume I ignored a post because I don't type as fast as others do and am still writing mine while others are posting? Thit's a fine aexample of judging a person without having the facts to do so. One reason why I'm willing to submit to God's judgement is that He knows me inside and out. He knows me better than I know myself.
For that matter, Sweetkitty, I guess you've never you've never accidentally "ignored" a post by just scrolling past it without realising it? Or skimming it, while trying to keep up, instead of taking the time to read it over carefully?
You have gone a long way to proving for me that it's not possible to take that scripture out of context and that we cannot take Jesus's warning too seriously.

It is just a reaction to many of her posts..for example i think they just closed one (cant find it) bc it was pointing out a preacher who was attacked by homosexuals, (had a little scratch on his face, guess they weren't bears) when she had just said in another, where a lesbian girl was killed due to her sexuality, that it was due to her lifestyle, and did not show remorse. there are many on here who think she wants to justify her hatred for homosexuals, by using the bible.

dont know if this is breaking forum rules, answering her questions...if so let me know or edit yourself, thanks

Funny how in conversations here, the Christians always seem to slide back to homosexuals and homosexuality, regardless of the initial topic. It's almost like they're obsessed!

dont mind her plan 9. she is ignoring some points of mine too in another thread. she only wants to discuss if she hasnt been proved wrong yet and she accuses others of stuff she does all the freakin time, it is best to just let it go over your head, or else you will get in arguments that may get you in trouble. welcome to Cf

Can I answer that??

If you said I was gay, it would not be taken as an insult. I would however tell you that you are mistaken.

But if you told me that I was a hypocrite that hated gays and spent most of my time on-line judging, condemning, and spewing my hatred at anyone and everyone.... then I would be insulted.

Before you can judge rightly... you must first have a clue.

Thank you, Shaman, if I may call you that? It's not just my typing that makes me a slow poster and I'm adapting as best I can.
One of Sweetkitty's threads has stopped dead right right now because she hasn't answered my post and no one else has posted there since I last did. The first time it happened, I thought I had offended her and Pmed to apologise.

Since you don't seem to mind when my posts are out of order and read them regardless, I'd like to mention that judging is hardwired into our brains. Our ancesters needed this to survive in in times that were far more dog-eat-dog than the one we enjoy now. This hardwiring still contrbutes to our survial today, for instance, enabling us to tell our can of Draino from our bottle of water.
The downside is that these mechanisms sometimes carry over into areas in which they are less than useful.
Our cognitive processes make it absolutely vital that we Christians take that scripture very seriously indeed. Even keeping it firmly in mind, we will frequently faile to live up to it for a number of complex physiological reasons.
