Which isn’t to suggest we’re not to use good judgment!

It’s clearly NOT judgmental to point out that it’s the wrong interpretation to say we shouldn’t judge the act or lifestyle of homosexuality or there’s more than one way to God other than Christianity.

You can not accept just the teachings of God that fit your lifestyle, agenda or sensibilites.

Let’s be literal here. Pointing out that something is right is judging. Pointing out that something is a wrong interpretation is judging. When the judge in a courtroom says “guilty” or “not guilty” he/she is judging.

We can’t pick and choose what we are going to be literal about. I never said that I disagreed or that I believed that there are other ways to heaven or salvation. Don’t jump to conclusions and judge my words unfairly.

I am basically saying that one must watch what messes we make before we step in them ourselves.

I find the issue to be troubling, “at best.” But I do know that even though I’m saved completely through Jesus’ action on the cross, I also remain in sin every day and have always to repent. And I know that my sins aren’t lesser sins than the so-called worst sins because each and every sin separates us from God, so in that way, I believe that none of us is better than someone in prison or the person in the initial article.

I was just trying to point out that some commentators were implying that the person was unrepentant, apparently, although we can’t read another’s heart. But when we judge and act self-righteous about it, we are also unrepentant.
