But you are loyal in all that you do...right?

Go ahead...throw the first stone.

But you are loyal in all that you do...right?

I've been married for almost 38 years, and I've never cheated on my wife.

Go ahead...throw the first stone.

So no one can ever criticize anyone for anything?

Friend Rooster, the kind of judging which is forbidden to Christians, is presuming a judge another person's inner life (which you cannot see) and their future eternal destiny (which you cannot know.)

That means you cannot judge them in a state of grace or a state of mortal sin --- subjectively speaking --- nor certainly saved nor certainly damned.

Other things, observable and objective things, do call for judgment.

We can judge

• ideas as good or evil
• words as true or false
• acts as right or wrong.

These things we "may" judge, and sometimes "must"
