I never said that. Sure we recognize other peoples faults, but I don't think He wants us to judge them for it.

Sure he does. (Luke 17 1-4) Where did you get that from? You should be careful when you speak to others about Christ. Don't confuse his words to fit an agenda. This is dangerous. Mark 14:21

See, when I'm judging you, I'm obviously not looking at my own faults. However, when I see a shortcoming in another person, then I must examine myself so that I don't have to be that way. People can be axamples, either positive or negative. Just as I learn from people how to act, I also learn from others how not to act. *LOL* My endeavor is to be a positive one, though.

So what are you doing? Making up your own morality as you go? All the while trying not to offend anyone. This is not how Christ wanted us to live. Did he not say. "Do you think that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division." Luke 12:51

Luke 17 1-4 says to rebuke (reprimand, reprove) your neighbors sins. Not judge.

Mark 14-21 warns of betraying Jesus. I'm not aware that I have done so on this thread. But this can go both ways. Peter denied knowing Christ, but yet others can preach false Gospel and still betray.

I don't make up morality. We all know the difference between right and wrong. But God gave us free will, didn't he? Sometimes, in the heat of an emotion, I don't always make the right decision. I beleive God wants me to learn from my mistakes, and help others with my experience.

I certainly don't want to offend anyone, but it happens. If I have offended you, I apologise

So how do interpret this verse? To tell us we should be causing divisions among our fellow man?

Jesus also said "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be call the children of God".
The scriptures need to be interpreted in context and balanced against each other.
