I was specifically referring to a man judging another man’s salvation. Mr. Dobson is in no position to say that about Fred Thompson - Thompson has done nothing to deserve that kind of proclamation. Dobson was way out of place - I used to respect the man - now I have a lot less respect for him.
I don’t think telling a child that what he is doing is wrong - is “judging” him. I do think telling a satin worshipper that he is going to hell is judging, but anyone with half a mind could figure that one out. Some sins are as plain as day - others are hidden in the dark recesses of one’s heart. It’s not for me or anyone else to say what’s there, only the Lord knows that - not Dobson.
You don’t get it! Telling a child he is doing wrong is not judging him, it’s judging the behavior. Telling the child not to hang out with a certain kid is judging the other kid. As I said, if we adhere to the strict interpertation, we are not allowed to do that.
