It's something you should think long and hard about. We can disagree with certain acts that people do, we can even tell them about it, but when we start to actually 'tell' them they are going to hell and such....who are we? Learn your role- to teach God, not to act as God. Period

God is The Judge, & by God I mean Jesus. He told us that, "God (The Father) has commited all Judgment to the Son (Jesus). He Is the Creator & Redeemer of mankind. He, Jesus, told us that we "should not judge lest the same judgment (standard) we judge others with is used to judge us." With that said, now comes the addendumn, He also said, "A good tree doesn't bear evil (bad) fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit." "Ye shall know them ( good or evil men) by their fruits." We therefore are not judging them, we are fruit inspectors. If a man claims to be righteous, and is a thief & murderer, his fruits tell me not to believe his testimony. (That's called "common sense.") You can put any man's statement to that test, & you are not judging his motives, just his fruit. Only God can Judge their motives, that's why He said , "All Judgment is commited unto The Son." It sounds like some preacher has stepped on your toes at some point. If someone has stepped on my toes, I usually check to see where my feet are & if they are where they don't belong,...I move them. Don't be bitter, try to get better. We all need some "self examination" from time to time. If we see we have stepped off the Path, get back on It.

God is the final judge. We can only judge the fruit that a person bears. But we are to correct those that are in error. To Judge would be to decide on a punishment for the person. But we are responsible to let someone know when they are in danger of the Judgment of God.

God is the Judge NOT me. I never said I was the Judge of anyone
But I have seen people Judge me because I am A Christian and a Liberial and a single Mother.
Now why do you think you have the right to Judge anyone. are you not doing the same thing???
Edit: I have never told anyone that they are going to hell. Just to let you know. that is not my Job

God is the jugde.
I could be after I get the plank out of my own eye.
heaven has people in it that we will not expect - examples could be the queen of Sheba, ninevites, and residents from Sodom.
look closely at what Jesus said, and you will see that they could be in the mansion next to yours

If you really need to know, read the Bible, you will then understand the"role " of Christians and God' character.
