The scripture I quoted commands us to judge. Otherwise, how are we to determine evildoers and thus avoid them?

Eph 5:11, 12: And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

Judging is both expressed and implied in that verse.

Another example: 1 Cor 5:11-13: I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

We are commanded to judge others, but to do so righteously. Otherwise we could never indict or condemn sinful man.

People like you conveniently leave out the rest of Jesus' thoughts. You take the scripture out of context, which makes it a pretext. For you. Shame on you.

Your initial reply - "God will judge his soul. But people on FR are absolutely qualified to judge Bush's actions as president and his affect EFFECT on America." - was what I meant.

Both Bushes made a mess of a lot of things, were NWOs etc, and are rightly criticized for that. I was also responding to Poster #3 for his "playing God judgment", and inadvertently left out the differences in judging political v earthly actions and intent. Just drop it.
