Just wondering why so many self-proclaimed Christians on this board seem to have never heard of the above quotes and why they refuse to put into practise these lessons?

You have a valid point, it's pretty scary how alot of the people who claim to be christians have forgotten that the Bible says"You will know they are christians by their love." Remember, whenever you are looking to have faith in people, you will always be let down-but when you put your faith in God, everything else doesn't seem to bother you as much. I think the christians need to work more on encouragement than discouragement. It's like everything has to be an arguement. I am a christian and I know I don't always represent Jesus to the world the way I should. Thank you.

I agree that many Christians are too judgmental. Then again, so are non-Christians.
The problem is that Christians profess to be loving and are often better at "hating the sin" than "loving the sinner".
The admonition not to judge does not mean that Christians should agree with or even tolerate immoral behaviour, though. The key is to show love for the individual because all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Christians should focus more on obeying the commandments of God than in trying to ensure that others are doing so. Why point out the speck in another person's eye when you have a plank in your own.

7:1-5, okay we will be judged by the way we judge others.
13:23-30, does not make sense-parable of the sower.
19:16-24, don't under stand-parable of richman.
5: 48-can't take it out of context.

I don't think they have never heard of the above quote, just do not actually put it to practice.
Rather many in "churches"today, “They publicly declare they know God, but they disown him by their works, because they are detestable and disobedient and not approved for good work of any kind.” (Titus 1:16)

Study to show thyself approved.
You are calling admonition or warning, judging.
Not all are our neighbors only those who show loving kindness.
Perfection is maturity or full age in God's Word.
It amazes me how people open their mouth and remove all doubt.

I am a Christian, my friend, and I can't agree more with you.....so many never put into practice God's Word...I know I am not perfect, just trying to live for my Jesus. I am praying for all of them....do you know Christ as your Savior? If not, please IM me sometime!!! I would love to chat!
In Christ,

are you talking about properly discerning the times and those around us.....that comes from spending time in prayer and in the Word ...to seek the Father in truth He will keep His from falling...

because they don't get it, you could be standing right in front of them speak a sentence and they will tell you what they heard, and it's not even close
