Actually, there isn't a single verse in the Bible referencing ANYTHING that Saint Matthew ever said. Jesus Christ said a lot of thing and Matthew wrote them down.
However, the verse you reference is about being hypocritical, not judgmental.
Me I don't judge people. I'll let GOD judge me. He'll judge me that I don't criticize people who are different.
Really? If someone is doing something you know to be wrong or dangerous, you say nothing?
If a small child is about to wander into traffic you say nothing?
If you see someone breaking into your neighbor's house you say nothing?
Now, I'm going to guess you think these are ridiculous examples and that you would certainly MAKE A JUDGMENT and then say something.
So, assuming that's the case, why are you willing to standby and watch a person engage in a lifestyle that puts them at a far higher rate of serious disease, will significantly shorten their lifespan, nearly always leads to severe depression and will likely damn them to Hell?
It seems to me that those of us who are willing to tell the truth about homosexuality care about homosexuals a lot more than "nonjudgmental" people like you.
Hear, hear!
That is absolutely on the mark, Wagglebee. Those who care about homosexuals are the ones telling them it's bad for them; those who hate them tell them to keep doing what they're doing, that it's their choice...equal under the law, etc., etc.
We're trying to keep them alive; their so-called friends are trying to kill them.
I guess we agree to disagree. Me, and we have friends who are gay (and yes my landlord for my office is gay) and they are conservative. I believe in small government, and that means I don’t care what you eat or sleep with (if both are consenting adults) or smoke.
There are people who have “idiot compassion”, they refuse to condemn wrongdoing despite there being plenty in scripture supporting such.
So these types end up embracing and condoning wrongdoing.
No matter what it is.
