But how is your Christology?

Are your beliefs Biblical?

That isn’t passing judgment. I can post many Bible verses about how Christians ARE to judge the beliefs of others who are CLAIMING to be Christians.

You don't need to "pass judgment" on other people's beliefs. However, the Bible calls you to use discernment. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.

Matthew 7:1-5 (New International Version)

Judging Others

1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Since this is an often quoted versus from the Bible, I decided to post the entire reference with some explanation.

The Christian is not to judge hypocritically.

We are to obey Christ's commands, we must first evaluate a person's character IE as in a dog or false prophet, what do the fruits show.

The Bible repeatedly exhorts believers to evaluate carefully and choose between good and bad people. There are those who masquerade as angles of light.

We are to test everything.

The "speck of sawdust" phrase is to drive home that point.

Be careful about quoting snippets from Bible verses out of context. Christianity is either true, or false. If it's true (and you believe Jesus when said that He is the ONLY way to the Father), then other religions HAVE to be false (no matter how nice their adherents are, how cute their babies are, etc.).

If it's false, then all that matters is how nice any of us are and how cute our own babies are.

The author compares non-biblical teachings with Mormon teachings and then proclaims that Mormons are not Christians.

Translation: So if you have kids, or will have kids, you won't advise them to steer clear of...
...premarital sex -- homosexual or heterosexual...
...cohabitation...
...substance abuse...
...etc...
...All because you've got constant eye logjams?

Tell us: What beliefs and convictions will you take a stand on? (And why, if any, some but not apparently others? IOW: Where do you draw the line and why?)
