There will be judgment. I do not judge her salvation, I judge the fruits. I do not see brokenness. Her major identity is still sin, not Jesus. And AGAIN, he spoke the TRUTH, revealing the sin. Did you FORGET that part?

You certainly ARE judging her salvation.

Your position is that she has not met your personal requirements to be accepted, because in your opinion, she is still a sinner. You are EXACTLY as one of those who holds a stone, and to whom Jesus said "let him who is without sin cast the first stone."

The teaching could not possibly be clearer, and your rejection of it could not possibly be more brazen.

And Jesus's teaching about what will happen to YOU could not be more clear: you will be held to YOUR OWN criteria by God.

IMHO, Jesus didn't come for her as much as he came for the likes of you. Because your judgement criteria existed BEFORE Jesus arrived, while her surrender to Jesus, to the limits she is able, is the Dispensation of Grace that Jesus gave us BY arriving.

She has done what she can, and offered herself to Jesus's mercy.

You judge her efforts as inadequate.

So why do you need Jesus? The Sanhedrin would agree completely with you. What more do you need than that?

We are clearly called to evaluate the fruit. To correct people and speak the truth to them.

We are called to hold our selves to the same standard we as we look at others. That is my interpretation, not to stop judging because it might offend someone. The ones that truly have loved me spoke the truth to me, they did not worry about offending me. And yes, some even told me I was heading to hell.......................... (God bless them)

You have a worldly view of “judge not lest ye be judged” Judging salvation is Gods area, but I can look at the fruit and am commanded to.

You think I am harsh, wait till Jesus shows up, a lot of people are going be surprised.
