It is better to be judged by a Christian than crushed by Christ.



You and your kind are more merciful than Christ?
Very very doubtful.

You might want to consider doing a word study in the original text of the greek nouns and verbs forjudge, judgment, condemn, curse, damn... and particularly the related verbs in active, passive and middle voice.

they are not all interchangeable... even though in many cases for brevity sake the translators used them... of course they expected you to take into account the historical, geographical, cultural, political and temporal contexts, when applying it to your OWN historical background, cultural background, geographical location (you are not a roman per se, or an ephesian now are you), cultural mores and customs of the people it was written to, the political canvas of the time on which the information is displayed and the TIME in which it was written.

judging righteous judgment would involve doing ALL of that, in cross comparison with the actual contextual meaning of all those scriptures... and then overlaying those various things onto your OWN life BEFORE you paint YOUR understanding of THEM lifted out of context in many ways... and hit someone ELSE Over the head with them.

When God directly and eternally damns Rahab, Tamar, Ruth, Esther, Bathsheba and the other women of ill repute (as they were considered in THEIR cultural context) and does so in his next book along with the adulterous and incestuous male counterparts aka patriarchs like abraham, david, jacob, solomon, amos (for marrying an actively working prostitute, gomer per God's command) and the other males of ill repute for their serial marriages, extramarital adultery, sex with slaves,prostitutes and other mens wives...

get back with me.

until then, I will consider all of them and myself: sinners who sin every day, in need of grace and recipients of the mercy God extends to sinners, every day, just like He does every day when the sun comes up... again.

you and yours have built a twisted little theology of mistranslational scripts assembled to justify your pharasaical cult... of self appointed 'whore damners.'

enjoy your lifetime of obsession with jugding others.
for that is likely all the joy in this life you will ever have. And consider this transliteration:

"he will have judgement, without mercy who has demonstrated a lack of mercy, whereas the merciful can laugh in the face of judgment."

Jesus said; Father forgive them for they KNOW NOT what they do...

But your preference is perhaps: Father forget what Jesus said, and go ahead and damn these sinners and especially this whore, for she clearly knows what she is doing (despite what Jesus told you)... and I am going to make sure every body else knows what I think YOU think she is too... because I have the mind of God... see here Father... it's written in the bible 'I have the mind of Christ' see?

rofl.
good luck with that approach.

I typed a long winded response Robert_P...but my dial-up connection ate it. I'm either too lazy and/or pressed for time (both actually) to retype and footnote the info... But in a nutshell, ministering to the lost can involve more methods than just meek prayers. Depends on the situation... of course..
