Why do people think that while I or We are God's children, others are not God's children and sometimes assume they are enemies of God ?
Why do people make such judgements and then call it not judgements but just opinions or choice of freedom ?
Is it not Blasphemy and Hypocrisy ?

i believe you are correct
if we were all created ( despite what beliefs you have )
then we were all created the same , we are all of the same ... and none better or worse than another
if we are to believe in God .. any God ... then that would be the creator of all
and i am sure deeply saddened by all this segregation and hate between people

The Bible goes to great lengths to describe the Children of God... and those who fit into that category... simply put... you're either in or you're out...
And as with any child who is VERY proud of who their father is... sometimes God's children "flaunt" their lineage... however, often times this is done in such a manner as to seem boastful... which God cautions against.
You are right in that as individuals, we cannot make the judgement call ... God alone is the judge... however, we can make reasonable assumptions based on the information we are provided with. That is neither blasphemy or hypocrisy. The Bible calls that "discernment" and it is actually a very necessary function for God's children.
I should caution my brothers and sisters that God notes on more than one occasion that he will be the one to seperate the wheat from the tares... the sheep from the goats. Share God's message in love and let people make up their own minds... you don't want your gift to be a stumbling block to someone trying to find their way.
Best Wishes.

"Is it not Blasphemy and Hypocrisy ?"
Check. It's not. In fact, your framework for this question isn't exactly accurate. --Which is a problem.
All religions have prescribed courses of action, and recommended paths through life. When one fails to heed these, the religion says one has fallen short of the glory of God. It doesn't say one isn't God's child any longer. It may say something like "such a person is not one of the elect."
I think you know in your heart what that means. It means you flunked your chance to follow the rules and make the grade, and God is displeased with his child. But you'll always be God's child, approve or disapprove. All major world religions have a variant on this.

It because people are full of pride, thats one of the things that makes human imperfect, and the God they know mirrored them, which is also full of egos who will only love those who worshipped him or he must be playing favoritism among his children, if thats really the case, then what these people know is also not a Perfect God.

Child of hell -Matthew 23:15.
Child of the devil -Acts 13:10.
Judge righteous judgment -John 7:24.
I'm going to have to say scripture. It is not blasphemy or hypocrisy to call things as they are. That is your error, to not see things for what they REALLY are or to excuse them with wishy-washyness.

Some are not God's children. They are satan's. It is a fact and the Word of God. I mean, even the devil himself knows that God exists. Knowing does not constiture being His. The Word of God says that you will know the tree by the fruit it bears. And that is not judgment, that is the Word of God and it is true. May God Bless U.

you will find that most major religions condemn other religions and something as powerful as faith is something that will cause strife every where it is found Christians, Jews Muslims have been fighting over the same piece of desert for quite awhile now. to many people are concerned with converting everyone to there beliefs or fighting for what they think is ordainly theirs they forget the basis of ther own religions. peace and good will

We are all God's children, only some have not chosen to accept this yet.
