My position as a Christian isn't to judge others. I am to tell the good news and love others. Only God knows how to truly judge someone's heart.
We all sin. I wouldn't dare presume that I'm better than anyone else. I'm forgiven, but not necessarily a better person. We're all still works in progress. Just because you're ahead doesn't mean you'll go the farthest. Often those we think (judge) to be lacking are the ones God uses to achieve the most.
I'm afraid that self-rightous Christians are treading on dangerous ground.

Why are you so angry? We are just claiming out loud what we believe? Is this a crime? we tolerate everything in this world. We give word to murderer and terrorist, even the devil and witchcraft have their place on TV but when it is time for a Christian to speak up their mind, they are seen as ugly monsters. Your final destination for God is you accomplishing your vision, what you were placed on earth for., fulfill your destiny in Jesus Christ and do good! Amen

Amber, the bible says if a person dies without confessing their sins and accepting Jesus as savior, they will go to hell for all of eternity. Do we know, ultimately, what the destination is of any person (who does not believe) that is on yahoo? No. Before they die, they could have a change of heart (hopefully) and repent.
That being said, yes, we do know what the destiny is of those who die unrepentant. The bible tells us exactly what it is.

This is the very reason I back up most of my opinions with bible quotes. My opinion means very little. The bible is the real truth. Most people take bible quotes as personal attacks from Christians. Christians are warned by God through the bible to warn the world of His wrath toward the unrighteous.

Judges have the ability and authority to cause harm to those who do wrong, whether monetarily or physically. If you are wishing harm on others or harming them, you should repent if you are a Christian.
Jesus made it clear that he did not come to earth to judge (that would be done much later).
Discernment is not judging.
Recognizing sin, avoiding it, and trying to help others overcome it is not judging.
Pointing out sin to a believer is not judging.
When it came to non-believers (those who do not have a relationship with the Lord) Jesus first protected them, defended them, healed them, helped them, fed them, blessed them, loved them, and comforted them before asking them to go and sin no more.
He did always ask them to go and sin no more. I love Jesus' methods and the order in which he applied them. We (Christians) are supposed to be like Jesus.
Should we do any less?

Many people, Christians and not yet Christians, critically judge others. This is based on self righteousness & one is self righteous when they make rules to follow & others don't agree that those rules are sooo important. So they criticize others, getting angry and are angry all the time,
When Christians realizes that when they are born of His Spirit, cleansed by His blood, they are made the righteousness of Christ through the act of faith; Confessing Jesus Christ their Lord & Savior and believing in their heart He raised from the dead. God looks at those born of His Spirit and sees the righteousness of Christ. The baby Christian can't change that by doing or not doing something. Christ Righteousness is a gift of God and everlasting life. So, when people realize they can't make themself more righteous than this, Christ Righteousness, then they aren't under the law of sin & death and don't criticize others for making a mistake or doing something they don't think is right.
I don't judge individuals, but I discern if someone is born of God or not. I do this because I love & I want to know how to pray for others. Others sin horribly. One Christian got caught in porno web & committed adultery on my Christian friend. He was saved, yet not filled with the Holy Spirit. I judged Him as this. They were important to me & he let me down, but I forgive him. I am supportive to my girlfriend more so. I have prayed for both of them.
The final destiny for those born of God is written in the bible. We are going to raise up a new everlasting body, soul & spirit. We are going to stand before Jesus Christ on that beautiful day, whole; spirit, soul & body; dressed in white & receive rewards for works done in faith, hope, love, joy, peace, patience, truth, etc...
And from there we have left one room & entered another that God has prepared for us that we haven't imagined or could think how wonderful.
Also, when someone died, the Lord has let me know, if I had prayed about someone, if that person is in heaven with the Lord or not. My cousing committed suicide, but since he was born again as a child, he went to heaven. I found assurance in spiritual prayer that my cousin is in heaven with the Lord.
After a terrorist died, one responsible for horrible murders, Al Zachari?, I had a 7 second nightmare, I was standing on my bed calling for Jesus in my dream, then woke up. I asked God in prayer why I had such a horrible dream, Did God want me to have this dream? Jesus told me, "Yes, I did want you to have this dream." I asked more... He said, "Are you glad terrorist go to hell?". I thought about that. I pray for my enemies salvation, but if they are leading others to destruction, that they get caught & imprisioned and preached Gods Saving Grace. That they have the opportunity to come to Jesus. If they can't get caught, then they should die before they lead even more to destruction. So, this is my clarified prayer after the dream.
As humans, we don't know if people go to heaven or not. But Jesus knows. So, I just ask Jesus in prayer.

Only God can really judge anyone and make it count.
Whatever anyone else judges is mere opinion, and may I say it is usually stupid opinion? Cheers.
