Since you will not answer my question... probable because you will find that Jesus was a man and was not against judging people, I will answer it for you. I don't care what religion you are, titles don't impress me. I do care what Jesus says..

First off...

Jesus affirmed the Mosaic Law even to the keeping of the "least of these commandments" (Mat. 5:17-19). He blasted the Pharisees for giving their own ideas precedence over God’s commands:

"Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying... `He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say..." Mat. 15:3-4

"For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men..." [Jesus] said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. For Moses said, `Honor your father and your mother’; and `He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say..." Mark 7:8-11

Jesus defended the OT laws... and HE condemed those that would give to their own traditions of ignoring them. Just as you ignore those that spit in God's face with their homosexuality.

Christ was not at all embarrassed over His Father’s commands. Jesus repeated these commands without caveat or reservation. Guess Jesus was a real man, not a hide from the bushes and screamer of "not real Christian"...

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

I don't want to be the called the "least" in the kingdom.. You must...

I'm proud to be Orthodox and we do not judge people. Your self-professed crusader friend is judging people. Is that right or wrong to do so? I have not judged anyone and I could not care less, good or bad what he does as long it does not harm anyone except Islamic ragheads, plain and simple.

this is one of our dogs that protects our vehicles along with us here in iraq..
