You see just saying, "I am a brain surgeon," doesn't mean I can perform brain surgery. I would need to back it up with a diploma and years of training. In the same way, no American will get elected president claiming, "The Bible is outdated, it's just a bunch of stories. I am a humanistic socialist at heart!" Sure the left will have no problem with that, but you can't win without independents. So the candidates claim to be Christian--despite having very unchristian positions.

Man looks on the outside...

---

Just my rant this morning. Not sure of your intention.

It is right and proper to look on the outside. To look at the fruits one is bearing, especially our own fruit. There is no perfect fruit but it is all we have to look at. Judging salvation is a different issue and beyond us but discerning is something we need to do more of.

“Judge not lest ye be judged to the same standard.”

The world knows JUDGE NOT but are ignorant of the rest. Many Christian know JUDGE NOT and that is all they know. My eyes go to JUDGED TO THE SAME STANDARD. Have high standards and hold everyone to those standards including yourself.
