How can people be so judgmental and intolerant of others, condemning them for their lifestyle by preaching religion, when it religion itself that should teach us to be nonjudgmental and tolerant of others? It drives me us the flipping wall when people say "God say" it's wrong.... How can one claim to know such a thing?

People tend to make god in their image. That's why there's so many religions and especially Christian denominations, each one making god in their own image.

If the Prophets and Apostles in the Bible knew of such a thing then why do people think that Modern Prophets and Apostles don't know the same thing. I think that people don't want to be reminded of their sinful lifes and so they take it out on those who truly know the will and mind of the Lord.

Yes we should be non-judgemental and tolerant of others, we shouldn't judge and we are commanded to love one and other. However there are laws in which we have to follow and are commanded to. First are gods laws then mans laws. If god said in his word that something is wrong then it is wrong. You can't just look up one verse and call it good enough you have to study that area that you have found to fully understand the meaning. We know god cause god gave us a hand book to life and if you follow it and study it you should have a grasp of whats right and wrong to do. By reading his word you also get to know him and what he wants.

We wouldn't dare to say such a thing, except in the cases where He's actually told us Himself what He thinks. That's another matter. Nor is tolerance the greatest virtue, my friend. . . Love holds that honor, and sometimes if you follow love, it leads you to do things that don't seem tolerant. Think on that.

God gave us the Bible, His inspired word, so we would know what He expects from us. So we would know right from wrong. Not to condemn others, but for our own sake so we can live right or at least try. Everyone is a sinner, and its not for us to judge another person, but we CAN judge whether a behavior is right or wrong by what God has said. Jesus loves the sinners, but not their sin.

When you read the Bible and you invite Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior, you start to have a pretty God idea what is God about.
Jesus can save you, if you want to be saved. It is about free will.

A case of superiority complex....
And we all know just how much they lie to present themselves as loving and non-judgemental....
Just ask Jerry FATwell or Pat ROBOTson or the loud mouth arrogant Fred Phelps (why hasn't he died yet).

Only those who actually talk with God knows what 'he' thinks... Those who rely on ancient books aren't getting the real story
