Do you walk on water and feed the hungry whilst pronouncing and judging? That is one heck of a list of sins and sinners you made there! Jesus watches you, too.

But, but, Jesus also said, "When you judge use righteous judgment" and that "when your brother sins admonishing him in love" and further, judgment only applies to individuals. All Christians are called to judge sinful behavior in the abstract as sin. As Chesterton said, absolute tolerance is just the complete lack of all conviction.

The list is provided directly from the verses cited.

Study it and how it is presented.

He provides outstanding truth in that presentation.

Cvengr was simply listing the sins as found in the Bible that separate a person from God...he was not accusing or judging any one person of such, nor was he judging you. I’m sure Cvengr doesn’t walk on water.

God expects you to know that which is good and that which is evil. This is knowledge for making judgements in life as to what one should do and support in life and what one should avoid doing and reject or heal in life.

What you mean is “don’t condemn.” Condemning is what God does with souls when they meet Him. It’s not okay to tell yourself or someone else YOU condemn them to hell or heaven. Christians should not condemn. However, judgement - discernment - is central to a life of a Christian. The Bible is our roadmap.

I judge theft to be a sin - every day for everyone. I am a liar if I say I condemn a theif’s soul to heaven or hell. I work self examination (judgement), repentance and forgiveness as Jesus guided every day and in every way I can understand. The better I do it, the less mess I make of life and love.

The slogan “don’t judge” has come from the homos sex sin activists and the adulterers in churches who are condemning you for knowing good from evil and expressing it. They want you to shut up while they announce sexual sin is fine and dandy - without consequence both physically and heavenly. They are liars.

“Don’t judge!” is a tool to end conversation and permit sodomy to be named lovely as demanded. They want you to be indifferent to sin and even build a ceremony on the altar in church to celebrate sin (sodomy) and that is not what you are supposed to do as a Christian, in my understanding. I won’t be in a church or a religion that builds alters to sin. It won’t stop there and if you read homo doctrines you would know there is a reason they are yapping at other people’s children about porn and homo sex behavior in every school they can.

As the churches collapse to homo demands and intimidation, they are no longer Christian. I would have been burned at the stake as a Roman because I won’t worship Ceasar and his proclamations of good and evil. I’m sticking with Jesus as best I can. : )

I’ve found that the thinking of the homosexual has already been scarred to the point of resisting consideration of their behavior as being condemned by God.

On the other hand, other behaviors associated with the same mindset, they might consider from God’s perspective if led to Him.

Also, those who condone homosexuality without considering what God has said about it, frequently don’t realize the other thought processes God has shown as associated with the reprobate mind.

For example, those who fornicate, might not consider their behavior harmful, but absolutely condemn a murderer for taking the life of another. When they discover such unrighteous behavior is grouped together by God in the same category, if gives cause to pause and contemplate why they are so grouped together and led back to faith in Christ.
