"The person who actually takes God seriously, who actually believes Him will behave that way, e.g. no minister who actually believes God IS would defy Him by engaging in homosexual behavior (Romans 1, etc.) And I do see an important difference between believing God IS and trusting Him."

That was a very Clitonesque dodge of a very direct question. We all, including you, are asked to judge and to reject wrong as a part of everyday life. To the same extent and in the same manner as you used "The Person", "I" and "them" will you rebuke or renounce all who use the Religion Forum as I described?

"And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?" - Luke 12:57

We all, including you, are asked to judge and to reject wrong as a part of everyday life.

Matters, yes - people, no.

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren. - I Corinthians 6:1-8

And again,

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: - Luke 6:37

Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. – Matt 5:7

God's Name is I AM.
