His interpretation of this passage is incredibly wrong and not taken in the context in which He was talking.
As a Christian, I can’t judge him, but when he spews fallacies, he must be called on it.
Baloney. You can judge his behavior, just as Scripture teaches, but his eternal fate which will be determined during his particular judgment is up to Almighty God.
I make judgments of people all the time.....and I'm a Christian.
Final judgment? No. Judgments on character, manners, hygiene, honesty...Yes.
Mark 8:33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
Baloney. YOu can judge him.
As Christians we can judge others. We are just told and warned to judge righteously, not hypocritically. Not rip on someone for doing something we ourselves have not stopped doing.
If we were not able to judge others we’d never be able to tell someone they are doing something wrong, as this very act requires judgment. Judge, but judge righteously. Not out of hypocrisy or to railroad someone or falsely accuse them. Judge righteous judgment.
Besides our “judgment” doesn’t do anything to that person. We don’t send them to jail, we don’t arrest them. Our judgment is that they are doing something wrong and in some cases, very wicked and evil.
The people who say “I can’t judge” or “Don’t judge me” just don’t want to get involved or just want to continue to keep doing evil and not have to deal with anyone hurting their egos.
Actually, yes you can, no, you must judge someone who claims to be a Christian:
For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” 1 Cor 5: 12-14
