The Bible says to judge not - lest ye be judged yourself. Dobson was pronouncing judgment on Thompson’s soul - big no-no! I am a Christian, but I will vote for a person based on what kind of individual they are. I will look at their past history and decide for myself if they have core principles, integrity & strength of character. I will not make my decision based on what “denomination” they belong to.
It has been my life’s experience that people that go around wearing their religion on their sleeve are among the biggest sinners and con people I know. I’ll take quiet faith any day over public piousness.
That's the leftist/liberal version of the quote that they use in order to avoid any moral judgements.
The complete quote includes "by the same measure" - if you judge someone, be prepared to BE judged by the same measure you used.
Yes, Jesus does say that. He also said, concerning the fig tree that did not bear fruit, that you will be able to judge people by their actions. The two statements seem to contradict each other but I look at it this way. Jesus is not saying we can never judge another. He is saying be careful how you judge people because you will be judged the same way. If we follow the strict interpretation of never judging anyone, how in the hell can you raise your child? How can you tell your child to not do something or to stay away from someone? Hell, the strict interpretation is nothing but the belief of multiculturism today.
“The Bible says to judge not - lest ye be judged yourself.”
That doesn’t mean don’t judge, it means when you judge, you will also be judged. Thompson’s fruits are that of a Lost person and Dobson is right to say that. I’m really surprised because Dobson is as ecumenical/wishy washy as they come.
AMEN!....and pass the plate!
