Yes, I know what it means. God instructs us to abide by earthly laws. Scott Peterson has been found guilty by a jury of his peers. Mr Peterson can still attain salvation by repentence and profession of faith. This does not negate his requirement to answer for his crimes here on earth through the jury's decision. It does provide a saving grace for his soul.

Brudnoy has, as far as I know, committed no crime. He has sinned. His sins can be forgiven, should he ask in sincerity. God has instructed us to NOT make judgement on men's souls.("Judgement is mine, saith the Lord.") I refuse to pass spiritual judgement on Brudnoy's condition. That is between him and God.

God has instructed us to NOT make judgement on men's souls.

G-d has instructed us to judge his behavior. Some men, due to wilfulness, wickedness and hardness of heart, will not repent. Their notoriously evil behavior should be condemned and not honored in their death.

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.

If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.

If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

I heard him admit in an interview on Imus that he continued to have gay 'sex' even though he knew he had AIDS. If that's not a crime, it should be.
