Christianity is not bound by laws but by the "hearts intentions" so why do so many Judge others to be sinful?

Question

A Christian should NEVER speak out and call someone wrong or sinful because they dont know what that persons intentions were.

In Christianity the laws and outward deeds do not matter......... ONLY the intention in the heart matters.

A "criminal" should be judged by the intention in his heart or else he should NEVER be judged.

Answer 1

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We are told to hold each other accountable in the Body of Christ.

I don't believe a Christian is responsible to judge anyone, except within the church.

There is a difference between legal judgment and spiritual judgment. There are natural consequences for our legal 'wrongs', as there are natural consequences for our spiritual 'wrongs', or sin.

Answer 2

Sin must be acknowledged and dealt with. Sin brings down a nation, a state, a city and a person. Wicked unbelievers are not judged so harshly as Apostle Paul judged the sorcerer in Acts 13 when Paul said in verse 11, "And now, behld, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand." Elymas the sorcerer taunted and mocked God and the Word of God too many times and Apostle Paul blinded Elymas.

On the forum, there are people who constantly mock God and the Word of God and we stand up and call them sinners and mockers and wicked and evil, but we have not blinded not one as yet. We judge their sin with our mouth and our typing fingers.

Out of the mouth speaks the heart, my friend.

Answer 3

I agree in principal,

But I think you might be missing a point here, if a Man opens a Porn Store next to a Middle School, we have the right to protest it.

If we know that people are dealing drugs, we need to report it.

We have the obligation to speak out against injustice, oppression and hate. But, in doing this we are not to judge any other persons soul.

But we also need to pray for those people that they reform.

We are also called to do good works for others.

Good Luck and God Bless!

Answer 4

You are able to open up Gods Word and know what is acceptable and what is not.
A Christian does not judge because God does know the heart, and we do not.
However, don't get mixed up between those words "judge" and "report".
If the Word of God states a thing is a sin,
then guess what: I report it as a sin. I am not judging it - God has already done that.
You can twist it anyway you want to in order to justify your own actions, but Gods Word is the final say on it. Its your butt, and you have to sail your own ship. Bon Voyage,
Captain.

Answer 5

It seems almost second nature for humans to judge other humans.

If these people are not following the religion correctly, then they have strayed off the path of their chosen religion.
If they do not follow it correctly, then it really isn't that religion anymore. It is like a branch of Christianity. Christianity has metamorphasized, into something much different from what it used to be.

Be careful though, telling these judgeful people that they are judgeful, is judgeful in itself.

Answer 6

You're just a sinner who wants to keep on sinning, without anyone telling you it's wrong. You are clearly not Christian, because you would know that the Holy Spirit is conforming you to the image of Christ. Your desire is now to please Him. Therefore, you can't sin indescriminately, and not be convicted by it. If you can sin like that, with no remorse, and no intent on stopping, you are not a Christian.

Answer 7

Where is your source for these statements?

Nowhere in the bible does it say that only the intentions of the heart matter. The bible says we will be judged according to our actions.

Answer 8
