"He that is without sin among you, let him cast a stone." John 8:7


Is is so nice, so wonderful, so refreashing to see so many people without sin standing in judgement around here.

Think about it and let me know who here has earned the right?

Interloafer, I'm not passing judgement. I'm simply asking a question that our consciences will have to answer. We all justify our actions one way or another and in the end we all answer to the same God.

In reference to your "Think about it and let me know who here has earned the right?"
Not a one

There is a difference in casting a stone and confronting sin. No one has earned the right to judge anyone. However, we should as followers of Christ stand up for what we believe in. I have been forgiven of much and so in love I can share my testimony with the hope that it encourages and blesses someone who needs to hear it. God says that we should not judge lest we be judged and that if we judge ourselves we would not be judged. We have to walk in humility; constantly keeping in mind; "But for the grace of God go I"

With the exception of one group, Jehovah's Witnesses, the least followed of Christ's commands is"

" Love thy neighbor as thy self"

Why do I say this? Jesus's other command to his followers was to "preach the good news of Gods Kingdom" and he taught his follows how to do just that. Yet almost all main stream religions don't follow Jesus's example. Some do it for two years or maybe a year. The only religion that follows Jesus's command to "preach the good news of Gods Kingdom" is Jehovah's Witnesses.

In contrast when a religion does not "preach the good news of Gods Kingdom" they are definatly not practicing Jesus's command to " Love thy neighbor as thy self"

The link below is to an article about what Jehovah's Witnesses believe.

You will find it very refreshing and enlightning.

The least followed is Matthew 6:5-6. Their jeebus says keep your religion to yourself and pray in private, but all the christians lie and be hypocrites.

ROMANS 3:23
23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

No one has earned the right to judge anyone, but Jesus himself. But, once called into the true church of God and repented of your sins with the power not to turn unto the wickedness of the world, then you are allowed to judge in righteousness.

1 CORINTHIANS 2:14,15,16
14) But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15) But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

See the difference
So God gives me the right to judge all those who are not obedient to His will. And if you are not correct with bible then it is my job through the word of God to judge and correct and stand on that which is right by God.
I pray for you in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen

We're not to judge people to hell. Jesus Christ is the only one who earned the right to do that.

We're all called to make prudent choices and to avoid doing evil.

That's judging.

We're also required to help others do the same.

Something about "love your neighbor"

Wasn't that more of a suggestion than a command? Wasn'T he just too polite to command too much. The commanding one was his father, was't it?
