Man looks on the outside...


Just my rant this morning. Not sure of your intention.

It is right and proper to look on the outside. To look at the fruits one is bearing, especially our own fruit. There is no perfect fruit but it is all we have to look at. Judging salvation is a different issue and beyond us but discerning is something we need to do more of.

“Judge not lest ye be judged to the same standard.”

The world knows JUDGE NOT but are ignorant of the rest. Many Christian know JUDGE NOT and that is all they know. My eyes go to JUDGED TO THE SAME STANDARD. Have high standards and hold everyone to those standards including yourself.

Yep. They like to leave out the rebuke, repent and then forgive parts.

Luke 17:

17 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch yourselves.
“If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.”

 

**"but woe to that person through whom they come."**

Persons like Hillary?  That sort of "that person"?

Just that we cannot see the intention of others; only the output of their lives.

True; but many Christians know ALL of it, but are AFRAID of being CALLED judgemental: by the leftists and others that do not want to judged in ANY manner!
