Christians: You say you cannot judge another's soul, but speak of christian atrocities and you become experts?

Question

All of a sudden you are expert judges who can tell us all those atrocities were committed by "fake" christians and not "real" christians.

If you cannot judge another's soul, how can you tell us the condition of the souls who, while alive and for all their life, piously believed and were told by the clergy that they were "real" christians?

Just a convenient way of shifting the blame for atrocities?

In what way does their christianity differ from yours?

Answer 1

History hasn't had a chance to look back at their hipocracy yet, but in time they'll be called 'fake' christians too for their judgemental ways and lack of loving their fellow man. In time, the homosexual debate will go the way of the slavery debate, and todays christians will be judges just as those were, as fakes.

Answer 2

There is a subtle difference between being judgemental and viewing a self-evident reality.

Judgementalism is applying unsubstantiated, biased or bigoted feelings on something or condeming something based on your views.

You are a non-beleiver therefore you will rot is hell is not a judgementalism, it's a repeat of what is contained in the Bible.

Your are black person therefore you are not human. That is a biased and bigoted judgementalism.

A Christian man comes home and finds his wife having sex with another man and in a sheer fit of rage throws her out a window on the spot. He can still basically be a Christian, but rage and satantic influences took momentary hold of him and he has to pay the consquences.

Now someone profession to be a Christian who steals from work on a regular basis, cheats on their taxes, has two mistresses.

Saying that is a Fake Christian is not judgementalism, it's applying what the Teachings of the Scriptures and Jesus were all about.

It is self-evident this person is just paying lip service with no substance.

YOu can lose your grace in the heat of a moment, as I showed above, but that does not diminish your actions to that point which may have been very Christian all that time.

That one act is going to haunt you. That slip of the moment.

But when you don't live your life the fullest to the basic tenents of the scriptures or religion, you can't truly be considered a Christian.

Let's move it around

If you oppose big business, if you vote for legislation that regulates business, if you vote for social welfare programs, if you oppose the War in IRaq but you claim to be a Republican are you really a Republican by strict definition.

That's not judgementalism. That's calling a spade a spade based on EVIDENCE and DEFINTION of What a Republican is.

Answer 3

No it is the truth.

We cannot judge others souls, but we can know our own faith and we can know when others are acting within it or outside it.

That is just obvious. That does not mean that we are judging others souls, but we can judge if their actions are in line with the teachings of Jesus.

I am sorry that you fail to do your own homework, and instead prefer to judge all Christians by the actions of a few.

Should I judge ALL non-Christians by the actions of a few bad ones?

Anytime we generalize a whole group of people we are wrong, and that is exactly what you are doing.

Peace be with you!

Answer 4

The Bible says judge not lest ye be judged...but most people stop reading there and do not continue. It then says to be a righteous judge. If someone does something against what the Bible teaches then we believe that their soul is in jeopardy. God is the final judge and we can not know his decisions but we can follow what the Bible teaches. As for those in the past and present that commit sins in the name of religion they will have to answer to God when they face him. God does not expect us to blindly follow anyone who claims to know his word but we are each to study the Bible and make our own decisions based on the teaching found there.

Answer 5

I try not to judge men, but I do try to strengthen faith and help others, and people tell people the condition of their soul to others in speech, when you question you cannot answer. Fake Christians are the ones who either don't believe Christ was God incarnate, or ones who use preaching for own personal financial needs.

Answer 6

we would have the prospect to settle for the reality at sometime in our existence not in elementary terms in existence. each and every physique could have the prospect to understand and then settle for or reject reality in the past any judgment is made. ultimately the judgment is enforced via God yet is inflicted upon ourselves in accordance with how we react to the reality we are given. No Christian or everybody in the international has wisdom of all reality and so all of us could have some new issues to income and settle for faster or later. Likewise an all-powerful and perfect God would go with completely, with perfect justice and perfect mercy. because of this our sojourn in this "probationary state" would be included in that judgment.

Answer 7

We know true right from true wrong because of the indwelling Holy Spirit....who guides us into ALL truth.

With the Holy Spirit living within us, we have every right to proclaim sin when we see it.

If it doesn't line up with Scripture....then it's wrong.....and we have the authority to say so.

Answer 8

You really should get some professional help. Seriously.

I have no need of shifting the blame for atrocities I didn't commit.

Answer 9

Would it make you feel better if we told you they weren't following the teachings of Christ? Besides, scripture does not teach that we cannot judge another persons actions.

Answer 10

I can't judge other Christians and Christians who do naughty things... God is still moulding them and making them in to who He thinks they should be and only God knows their heart too...
