You can say she is sinning and that is fine. I agree with you. But ultimate judgment of her belongs to God, not to us.I am not a crossdressing, publicly practicing lesbian preaching the rejection of Jesus Christ and acceptability of practicing homosexuality to millions.
You have proven that you are focusing on the speck in your neighbor's eye while ignoring the plank in your own. Jesus calls you to judge your OWN sin and leave the ultimate judgment of sinners to God (again, Matt. 7:1-5). To repeat: we can and should condemn sin where we see it (including, and perhaps especially, in ourselves). But the judgment of sinners is clearly left to God. For unless you do NOT have a speck in your own eye (i.e. you never sin), you are not fit to judge other sinners (nor am I or any other sinner). Matt. 7:5 is clear -- we are NOT fit to judge others as sinners as long as we ourselves still sin.
Jesus did NOT say "love you neighbor as yourself unless they are gay" or "love your neighbor as yourself unless they are unbelievers". His commandment to us was unconditional. And when we condemn a person, not just the sins they commit, we are disobeying Jesus. Judging sins is something we can do. Judging sinners is up to God.
