Not at all. You aren't reading.Aqualung said:This is EXACTLY what I said you did!! You made a judgement, that her actions were sins, based on your judgements of the scriptures!
She has listed scripture to tell people they are sinning, and that they are abominations, and that they cannot be Christians. The same scriptures have said that her actions are sinful. Do I believe she has sinned by committing these actions? I do not know. That is between her and God.
Personally, I believe that much changed with the new testament. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that who shall evere believe in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
We all have sin. Whether it's lieing, stealing, sex, anger, whatever, we all sin. I don't believe that any one sin is greater than another. I don't think there are sins that God looks the other direction for. What I do believe, is that we all, can be saved. We all sin. We'll always sin. But we all, can be forgiven.
I guess it really comes down to what the individual's definition of judging is. Take for example, a drug addict. I can look at someone who is addicted to drugs. I can feel sorrow for them. I can see problems in their lives as a result of the drug use. Whether it be losing a job, losing a family, being abusive to others. Or even the physical toll it takes on them. I can feel sorrow for them, and those around them. I can also pray that God may touch them, and help them through this problem.
Is that a judgement? I do not believe it is. I feel that is sympathy. Now, if I were to say, "That person is evil and going to hell." Is that a judgement? In my book, yes. And to be honest, I don't even know of any scripture that says drug use is bad. A have no idea if that is a sin or not. But I can see problems that it causes, and hope and pray for better times. But that does not mean I have judged the person due to their behavior.
