This is such a fine line ya know? Sometimes I have to stop and think what I was like as a babe.
I come from a more reformed position..so I believe it is Gods job to draw folks not mine (that is good because I am all too human:>)
Sometimes telling others they are judgemental is judgemental....we all make judgements and we are supposed to ..Jesus told us to be fruit inspectors. I love to pick the minds of other Christians. I love to hear about their faith .I ask lots of questions to prompt thought and discussion..
There are some very smart freepers here..we all do not agree doctrinally but we have lots to talk about....(that is for sure:>)
I don't have a problem with questions being asked, fruit being picked, using discernment, etc., which of course, is what we must do and should do. My problem is with Christians who aren't babes, the ones I have referred to most definitely are not, but they have hard hearts, treat others unkindly, are critical and harsh. In an earlier post I had listed what the fruits of the spirit are, and on another post, if we have the faith of a mountain but do not have love, we are nothing. This is what the Pharisees are guilty of: head knowledge but not a heart for God's people.
There is certainly truth in that.
John 6
43But Jesus replied, "Don't complain about what I said.
44For people can't come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them from the dead.
45As it is written in the Scriptures, `They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.
