BipolarBob has a sense of humor..
Humblegunner... not so much.
Must be Multiple Personality Disorder with Bipolar Disorder...
Hmmmm... something struck a nerve here. I’d go to God and repent if I were you, HG. I know you’d be a happier person.
“Several times Jesus stated, “I have not come to judge, but to save.””
That’s right, tired&retired! But so many miss it.
SOP.
“I can more easily admit when you’re wrong.”
Yup—we’re all built the same in that way, Bob
“Bkmk”
I hope you come back to it soon, sauropod. I’d like to hear your feedback.
I said that to an old priest at the end of a funeral service when he denied the son communion at his mothers funeral service..
Nope, it’s a fake banned page.
You can tell because his name and sign up date are still visible.
BiPolar does mean two separate personalities. Sort of like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But I've never caught me being humblegunner if that's what you mean.
If we judge, we are to do so righteously and not with animosity and bitterness. Mark Twain said “I never met a man I didn’t like” which meant he gave everyone a chance to prove themselves. It is too easy to classify someone by their dress, ethnicity, physicality and/or economic status.
Judging others is not the problem, imo.
The bible demands we judge others, their actions. Its the way we determine when we’ve been wronged, when people are doing bad thigngs to either us or others.
The problem of judging is when you judge different people by different standards. In other words, double standards. Or call it hypocritical judging.
Thats what we are warned about. If you’re condemning someone for the same stuff you’re doing, that’s a problem.
Yes, I am wrong about a lot of things.
Right now, I am having a hard time forgiving woke members of our family who are judging me.
Of course, they haven’t asked for forgiveness....
Is it wrong of me to avoid them?
“Yes, I am wrong about a lot of things.

My advice: forgive them, then you’ll know if you should avoid them or not.
“Judging others is not the problem, imo....”
Actually it is, otherwise Jesus would not have said, “Judge not, lest ye be judged.” SEEING what is wrong is fine, or course, otherwise we’d have to blind ourselves. But resenting / hating, etc. them for being wrong is wrong.
“BiPolar does mean two separate personalities. Sort of like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But I’ve never caught me being humblegunner if that’s what you mean.”
And thank God for that!
“John 7:24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
Right. But the problem here is with the word “judge”—it actually has a couple of meanings, one being to correctly see, and the other meaning to hate what you see.
I notice on this thread and others that the two meanings often become conflated or confused.
“I said that to an old priest at the end of a funeral service when he denied the son communion at his mothers funeral service..”
Oh... Now that could tick someone off. I wonder what the priest’s reason was.
It’s the little things in life that give us pleasure. Actually the little things may mean more for us than the big things. I desire to win the lottery. Should I put my happiness on hold while I have the opportunity to watch a sundown with my bride? I think not. Live each day as it is our last. Cheers to you Rebuildus, I drink to your happiness as well.
Yes but He also said He is returning to judge the world.
