And when a "So-Called-Christian" Judges others, after the Bible says>
Thou shalt not Judge, and
Vengence is mine, saith the Lord.?
Then what or who do you follow?
The Bible states that Lucifer(Satan the Snake) was very much in Vain.

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
45:20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye [that are] escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god [that] cannot save.
45:21 Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me.
45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else.
45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
45:24 Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
46:8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring [it] again to mind, O ye transgressors.
46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me,
46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
46:11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken [it], I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it.
46:12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far from righteousness:

I've often wondered about that. It seems to imply that Yahweh demands not to be worshipped as a sole god but to be worshipped above all others - just as Zeus and Jupiter had once demanded. It seems that Yahweh was envisioned as a 'supreme god' among other gods - at least at the time that the Ten Commandments were written. People will tell you that the statement is worded symbolically as 'false gods', but I'm not so sure myself. Why be 'symbolic' and why not just outright say 'Thou shalt have no other gods' full stop? After all, it's shorter and would save valuable tablet space...
Abrahamic religionists don't explore that topic but I think they ought to.

What is the point of this? The Bible doesn't state many things but the wise ones can understand proverbs because they are seeking God. It doesn't say thou shall not smoke...but is smoking wise knowing it casues sickness and death.
It doesnt' say Thou shall not drink DRANO OR Any other casutic substance...I wonder why?

What it means by no God before me is that, if you treasure anything more than God whether that is football or some model that you fancy the pants off, then that is an idol in your life and so putting someone or something before God.

Scripture says there are gods many. Powers and Principalities.
Who's to say the gods of other times weren't powers and
principalities?

do not kill something it fairly is prohibited. After that, it turns right into a personal determination i might want to guess. "...Jesus feeds the little birds of the air...." Mortality fee of birds in accordance to three hundred and sixty 5 days is 80%, why not in basic terms enable God safeguard it?
