So, in other words, Fred Thompson doesn't meet your personal standard? Isn't it a blessing that God is the judge and not a mean-spirited, presumptuous, holier-than-thou Pharisee on the corner like you? It is indeed. Goodbye, Pharisee.

Ignorant is the people that claim Christians are not to judge.. Yet all the while they judge by calling you names..

Take it to the source Clara Lou... Christians are definately to judge.. and judge rightly. My tagline is a simple enough example, yet to Abhor evil, you have to be able to judge it. Otherwise your love is with Hypocrisy.

Any child versed in just a few Bible verses knows this..

Judge Rightly is not some fellow's name by the way..

I too think Christians do better to leave the judging to God. Man does not have the ability to read a person's heart - God does.

Just as I am upset about Dobson judging Thompson.

Christians judging the acts of others creates far more harm than it ever does good in that it ignores growth, it ignores the need for kindness and gentleness in dealing with their brothers and that leads to people leaving God altogether due to the actions of members. Time and time again, people get hurt at church by the judgemental attitude of a "christian" and leave, never to return to church.

Studying the actions and understanding what is going on is different than putting on that cloak of pompous better-than-thou rightousness as one seeks the power of determining who is worthy.

God sent us to serve - not to judge. Afterall what one of us wishes a neighbor to be the judge of our worthiness. We would prefer to leave it to a fair God.
