Thank you.

Now where in the Bible does it say that we can judge people based on how they look, what culture they are from. It does however say that we are to judge a righteous judgment. John 7:24 says "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." If someone steals, lies, commits adultery or murder, etc., the Christian can make a (righteous) moral judgment and say that the actions were morally wrong, and that these sins will have eternal consequences. Chuck Colson said, "True tolerance is not a total lack of judgment. It’s knowing what should be tolerated—and refusing to tolerate that which shouldn’t."

It doesn't anywhere. But the fact is this, the gospel offends people. Jesus Himself said I did not come to bring peace, but division. He said the members of a man's family would be his enemies. Son against father, daughter against mother and so on. The reason some people feel condemned by the bible is because people haved judged themselves and condemned themselves according to what they have read and heard. This will always be a black and white issue. There is no straddling the fence with God. You are either in or your out. The apostle Paul wrote, that to some people we are a fragrant reminder of hope, but to others we are the smell of death.

No where, because we don't. Doing that is a sin. We don't have to agree, but that doesn't mean we have any right to judge,criticize or condemn. Every one has their own choice. Blessed be Always

It speaks of a christian being allowed to rebuke another christian softly. Luke 17:3
So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
Romans 14:10
You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
If we see someone in sin, who is saved, we need to confront them- that is what it says- (Luke 17)
It also says to not judge the unbeliever for that is God's job-- See Romans 12.
Also: Luke 6:37
[ Judging Others ] "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Ezekiel 34:17
" 'As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats.
-God is the Great Judge!!

The bible is full of places where prophets and servants of God warned those who rebelled and sinned against God.
God never accepted the Jews going after other gods or doing what was right in their own eyes (PC today).God is not PC.God will not accept any sin no matter how much it is approved and promoted by men (if stealing,lying or adultry become protected).
God will have no other gods beside Him.
