Matthew 7:1-5
Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Luke 6:37
Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven

John 7:24
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.

Titus 3:2-7
To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, ...
I offered you some simple ways to show your sincerity.
Like what has Jesus done for you? Can you even say? Is He your master, blessing you beyond all you can think or imagine, or only viewed by you as a club to hit others over the head with? Because those who will not confess Him before men will not be confessed by Him before God.
You sure seem to mouth those scriptures emptily.
I’m not being absolutist here. You might just be a very weak Christian. But your defense is not a bunch of inapplicable Scripture. Your defense is a good offense — Christ. Show what positive good He has done for you. If you can.
By the way, apply all those to yourself too... that would be an excellent idea.
For example — are you moved with wonder, to tears of unspeakable gratitude, when you sing Amazing Grace? Or do you just think about how wonderful you sound?
Look, Bud, I want to be kind.
You did give me an Amen when I pointed out that the Cross was agape love. I saw some hope in carrying on from there.
But what kind of Amen was that? An “Amen, we are so Proud that we have the theology right”? Or an “Amen, the love bowls me over”?
Or even “Amen, it gives me a quick thrill” (which would be better than nothing)??
I mean what is it? You should be glad to share your witness. For me, God’s love bowls me over! It makes me strong! It gives me endurance! It plans wonderful things for me I had never dreamed I could or would get! It is the very door to a heaven that I already welcome in my heart! It puts the yeehaw in my yeehaw! Oh, friend, I wish you knew personally how great it is, and if you don’t, then ask the good Lord to help you do that. You might just be weak. I was weak at one time too and hardly budged at the thought of God’s love. But God’s love never stopped. It kept teaching me till I was greatly moved, and will not stop teaching me till the day I die.
And if I am a bit clumsy in the way I present it, that is my fault, my sin, and yet I know I am already forgiven. And you are forgiven for any slowness on your part. But will you give it to the Lord. You will have to yield sometime. Better sooner, than later.
