“If by judgement you mean to accuse someone of wrongdoing, then follow Jesus’ example and do not judge until you are certain that you are perfectly pure.”
Which is called righteous judgment, without it mankind would be spiritual eunuchs and the Gospel would have been relegated to historical insignificance due to people not making informed judgments throughout the 2000 years after Christ rose from the dead.
I have news for you, early Christians “judged” all the time. They were not meek from a theological as well as legal POV, hence, any gnostic disingenuously peddling an ideology in Christ's name would have been tolerated and Christianity watered down. Gee, just like what you are peddling when you have not even noticed what Chavez is really asking for. Its not repentance, especially from is Anti-Semetic and pro-radical Islamic beliefs that he funds generously.
What is judging anyway? Are we to be so passive that congregations should let preachers/ Priests/Bishops be murderers, adulterers, fornicators, liars, abusers, etc...? Remember, "Judge not...".
Got news for you, Jesus was not a pacifists, and left specific instructions that His followers are to judge, hmmm. Your discernment meter needs to be calibrated.
“... says Judge NOT, that YOU be NOT judged.”
And later Jesus commands us to judge and beware of false prophets. How do you become aware of false prophets in the first place, ROTFL? By the way, are you calling God convoluted? Why can't people discern correctly, excuse making is not Christianity, Truth is and what you peddle is irrationality/ infant consuming milk not actual Spiritual meat the Scriptures tell us to strive for. You know, becoming mature and using our God given rational to control mind and body in harmony with the Scriptures
Learn the difference between a hypocrite and righteousness. Good thing better men than us did because irrational pacifism would have made God's work a lot harder when dealing with mankind staying in a perpetual infantile state.
YOU cannot judge any man’s heart, no matter how evil he might be..Only GOD knows the heart of a man, not any flesh...
Do you feel other Christians have the right to judge you???
Chavez or anyone else that cries out to the LORD Jesus Christ will be saved, if they are not because their heart is hardened or corrupt the LORD will judge not you....
Pacifist has nothing to do with it..Jesus hated hypocrites more than he hated sin...We have ALL fallen short...
Jesus came for all sinners which is you, me and Chavez...
Taking up the Cross for Christ is not about who you think is worthy of Hell and who isn’t....
Jesus said: But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5:44
Is he talking about Judging here:
Proverbs 19:11 A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
Proverbs 25:21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
Luke 6:27 “But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
