What does this mean in christian perspective? If someone murders dont judge them as such? If a person has a habit of lying is he not a liar?
My take is that if you fail to exercise judgement, you will be naive and people will take advatage of your niceness.
Someone clarify please
Another enigma in christianity is this…If you truly live a righteous life you will be setting yourself aganist the world…infact the world will hate you, because you dont want to participate in worldy things like corruption, nepotisim etc…So why struggle to live a righteus life? you will only end up alienating yourself from the world.Didnt Jesus live on earth a pure righteous life and got punished and killed for it so that christians may be spared from this harm.So why should you struggle to live a life only Jesus could live?
Why are we not taught to just live our lives in the worldly ordinary manner and have jesus as our sacrifice for our daily sin? I have seen christians try and live a life of righteousness but they fail miserably adopt judgmental mind and shipwreck their faith
Knowing someone as a thief and judging them so are totally different. Heavenly father says wewe jua tu ( remember the fruit of knowledge ) but leave him to do the judgement. If you use the knowledge to make safe decisions then that is good.
Many times each one of us has committed an offence that on face value appears to be wrong but we do such because of very valid reasons know to very few or just yourself. E.g killing for self defense.
We all judge on so many occasions e.g dismissing a client because their dressing is not up to par only to realise they are millionares, hating fat or short people upon meeting them, racism, tribalism etc. Telling a lie makes you a lair at that moment but not entirely.
As we grow up, we learn new things daily. Things that in our past did not make sense to us. If you were to be judged at that time, you wouldn’t be here.
people use this as an excuse to be “nice” and not offend anyone.
we’re called to judge, to call out wrong when it’s wrong, and to call right when it’s right.
when someone is told they are good, are they not being judged albeit positively?
so why doesn’t the opposite employ? because it is an escape from being told that xyz is wrong.
and it is the reason homosexuality is “common” or “normal”. In fact, it is the in thing.
and other vices of course.
you are judged by habits. when you steal once, i wouldn’t call you a thief.
but to do it over and over, then, it become your defining status.
If Jesus died for current past and future sins of Man, Then there is no need to judge murders or homosexuals as sinners? They are forgiven anyway just that they have not accepted the forgiveness. Since all have sinned no one can judge…But this kind of view has 1 problem. Why then even struggle to not sin or live a sinless life? That is trying to be like jesus for which one cannot achieve, infact he lived a sinless life so that man even though sinful can be saved by faith in jesus. SO WHY NOT LIVE IT UP LIKE NEVER BEFORE? THE PRICE FOR RIGHTENOUSNESS HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID. YOUR WORK IS TO CONTINOUSLY CONFESS AND YOU ARE CLENSED!
