Well, it depends on what you mean by “condemn.” We have an obligation to judge behavior. As the Bible says, “I have made you a watchtower over the people of Israel. If you do not warn a wicked man of his wicked ways, you will be condemned also.” The only way in which we’re called to refrain from judging is in predicting a person’s final destination.
To be frank, it sounds like your daughter has gotten caught up in modernism. For one thing, our relationship with Jesus isn’t merely “personal” because He is the embodiment of absolute truth, which is, of course, absolute. In other words, we’re dealing with objective reality here, not just subjective.
Exactly the problem. They’ve had it drilled into their heads that to judge ANYONE for ANYTHING makes you unfair, a bigot, and a bully. And you can’t embrace Conservatism if you are going to be so totally unmoored from your values.
That is absolutely false. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 5:9-13:
(9) I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people — (10) not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. (11) But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.As believers, we have an obligation to judge other believers so we may hold each other accountable. We are not to judge unbelievers. That is left to God. There is a significant difference between warning a wicked man and judging him. As I said, my daughter does witness to others.(12) What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? (13) God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."
To be frank, it sounds like your daughter has gotten caught up in modernism.
You couldn't be more wrong.
