I disagree with you. If someone tells me they are a Christian and they act in complete disobedience to Christ and His teachings, I have absolutely no problem with saying that this individual is NOT a Christian

Judge not lest ye be judges!

We judge all the time. Everyone does. The difference is we do not judge in the sense that we dispense a sentence.

I think this is one of the most misquoted and misused scriptures in the Bible, besides money being the root of all evil, when it is actually “the love of money.”

If one of your children was hanging around with a drug user, I’d bet you’d judge real quick.

If one of your children was hanging around with a drug user, I’d bet you’d judge real quick. We all judge things, people, events, and so on. I don’t equate this in the same manner as “dispensing judgment.” Besides, Christians are not to consider themselves higher than others. That, however, doesn’t mean we “cast our pearls before swine” either.
