I'm not really sure I understand you. I hope I don't.
If you would care to get your bible out, you and I can compare notes on "judging" and the meaning.
Christians are absolutely supposed to "judge" all things. 1Thess.
Matt 7:1 is where your going with this. Do you know what that means? You are not to "judge" someone when YOU have the same problem.
Good analogy. It just won't float with me. I know the Word. rather well. Thanks.
.
Jesus Christ Himself told you who to avoid and stay away from. How can you do this without first "judging", there actions?
You can't. Thank You.
.
Being committed to defending the truth. Concerned with the things of the Lord and His church, a godly man will TAKE A STAND against the profane use of Jesus’ name. Not only will he speak the truth about unrighteous patterns of behavior and their destructiveness; he will also oppose ridicule of the Bible or other Christians. Ref. Psalms 1;3 Jer 17:8 14:1 12: 1-2
Would you care to explain what God Himself said in these Ref's?

First, if you don't mind my saying...testifying is one thing. Brow-beating and bashing someone over the head are entirely different matters.
Secondly, when you say "don't stoop to their level, remember the Devil comes in all disguises"...you are pointing fingers, too. Not everyone who's views are different than yours is evil. It's statements like this that get agnostics, atheists, and anyone else with an opposing view all riled up in the first place.

Evangelism is 100% correct. but sis. Jesus called wrong things wrong and right things right. you are very correct about biblical scriptures and facts but 100% courtesy is only possible if other person is willing to understand. rebuking others is must because the fear of God is not there in them consequently wisdom,
Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom
But as far as testimonies are concerned you need to learn something about it at below
please read a lot more at www.freewebs.com/vickykamalmaurya
go to testimonies.

I can only think of one time Jesus used the "C" word..."A new COMMANDMENT", He said. When the Boss uses that word, we need to pay attention, yes??
So, what was so important to our Savior that He phrased it as a COMMANDMENT?
"That you love one another."
That's it, Jesus? You've already told us how important it is for us to love one another....
But Jesus is not speaking about just any love here. "As I have loved you..." WOW!! Now, THAT put's an entirely different light on the whole thing...I mean, He DIED for us...and while we were still His enemies, yet!!
But here's the clincher. "By this the world will know that you are my Disciples...."
Do you understand what He is saying here? Jesus Disciples...His sheep, the ones who know His voice, and won't follow another...the "Little Flock" who will inherit the Kingdom...they are those who LOVE one another!!
It's not always easy to love some of these folks with that kind of love...who am I kidding, some of these people make it darn near impossible to like them, let alone love them. It takes discipline, and perserverence...it takes the Mind of Christ...it takes the Holy Spirit. It isn't easy...but if you truly want to follow Jesus, then you will, as He said, obey His command.
God bless you.

An assembly is a accumulating of like-minded people who could or would possibly no longer comprehend one yet another for a purpose... which incorporate worship, leisure, deliberation, etc. Fellowship is greater approximately community and friendship. A church accumulating has components of the two, yet isn't required for the two one. a guy or woman could have fellowship with merely somebody else. there is an assembly of Christians right here on R&S and their fellowship is of their ideals, whether they are distinctive from one yet another, and it rather is in no way a church. the comparable could be mentioned of different communities and ideology, that's probably going considered one of the justifications all of us come right here. community church homes purely could desire to do what God has commanded human beings... to love Him and one yet another. it rather relies upon each and every guy or woman member and it determines the fellowship interior the assembly, be it good or undesirable. Being human, there'll consistently be those between us who're greater self based and self serving (Pharisees)... be they chief or layman. Love is the rationalization and purpose of our existence. It ought to be the hallmark of our church homes. people who have not discovered this could desire to patiently study. If the church and that's individuals do no longer adhere to this maximum uncomplicated guiding principle of the religion, then it must be perfect to look for yet another church. We do could desire to visual exhibit unit if our very own motives; if love is guiding our movements as properly, no longer selfishness or emotion.

Yes, I agree that people should not point fingers at anyone. What a person believes is their business. No one comes to Jesus Christ except the Father leads them there.
Not everyone present on the planet is going to accept Jesus Christ as Lord before He arrives. (Remember the fake Jesus arrives first)
Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:29 "For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren."
Romans 8:30 "Moreover whom He did predestined, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified , them He glorified."
So in closing, I say to all, our commission given us by Jesus Christ when He re-created us at the accepting of Him and the repenting of our sins is to spread seeds of truth. Don't look back but keep spreading the truth wherever you travel.
It up to God to take those seeds that landed in the heart of someone and allow those seeds to germinate.
In His service.><>

Don't stoop to their level??? and you expected to get by with that without a nasty response from a non-believer????
We don't need to "stoop to take level"
"Devil in disguise"?
You don't disguise yourself, delude, maybe..but not disguise

I promise I won't point fingers but I will turn on the charm and use my feminine powers to convert even the toughest of non-believers to see it my way. Before long they will be shouting, "Oh God" and "Oh Jesus" and finally they will see the light.

Well said. Remember that while you are pointing one finger at someone, you are pointing 4 at yourself.
It is onething to point out error, another to judge. We also do not know the reason for their disbelief and all (saint and sinner alike) will be judged by God, and God alone.

Yes, absolutely. And please, someone start putting some good, Bible based questions out there. I have tried thinking of some, but I can't really come up with any. I've only asked one question, and that was in response to a remark I got from an answer I gave. So please, someone out there use your God given gift and put some real questions out there. I don't want to give in and go to bed
