Who are we to judge?

In regards to elders (priests, etc), the scripture says, "Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear."

In regards to sexual immorality, the scripture says that anyone who rejects the commandment against sexual immorality has rejected God. 1 Thess 4:1-8.

Our pastor at my church brought up that even looking at another woman/man or fantasizing about them is adultery. Even if you are having sex with your spouse and you think about another person, you are sinning.

It's one of those quiet sins that people don't want to acknowledge. The focus is on Christians who condemn homosexuality but will continue to sin with their thoughts.

...I do believe that the post you responded to was intended as snark, a mockery of Francis’ oft quoted remark...
