Do me a favor, and don’t paint me out to be or write something that I never have. And I have never written nor led anyone to believe that I have never sinned and you know it. I have always argued that once we are saved, then we no longer sin and that is what all of the passages that I posted were about. So don’t be coy with me.
Sorry to butt in again, but I just have to laugh. Is this satire? Is there a hidden camera somewhere? It's hard to believe you can say such caustic things about BB, things that only God himself could know, and that's not judging. But misrepresentation of you, even if it was honestly based on your refusal for most of the thread to be clear about the point, well that's just awful, and we're all judging poor little you.
What this tells me is that part of our problem here is we are not all using the same dictionary. What you are doing to BB absolutely is what most people consider the bad kind of judging, the very thing Jesus was prohibiting us to do. Yet you appear to have somehow so redefined it in your own mind that we, well, at least I, have no idea what you mean by it. Seriously. No joke. Apart from the Pharisees, I’ve never seen a more textbook case of forbidden judging.
Now there is a good kind of judging:
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
From this we see how Christians can use righteous judgment, both to do good, and to avoid various sins, like listening to false teachers, falling into gross sin like homosexuality, fornication, etc. We use the wise judgment that comes from God’s law to understand what evil is, and what goodness is, so we can avoid it. That’s good judgment. And that’s not what’s been on display here with you’re trashing of BB, basically for being faithful to God’s directions given in his word. It’s not wrong for BB to honor God’s truth. It is wrong for you to pretend you know about BB what only God can know.
So I’m wondering, do you think God has given you special powers that enable you to judge others? I’m not mocking you. I wish to know if you really believe that what you are doing is exempt from Jesus’ command, just like you believed you could safely call people dummies, even though Jesus said not to.
I guess my real question is this: If you don’t think what you’re doing to BB is the bad kind of judging, please tell me what you think bad judging is? I am genuinely curious.
Peace,
