    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    Im speaking of judgment as though one is God. My mother for a long time told me I need to get off drugs because she knew the drugs were not doing anything good to me. She wasn't judging me as she was God. She was making judgements based on my health and well being, for me to stop doing drugs...

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    There is nothing wrong with judging. The problem is when you become judgmental as like that of an executioner. Judging people as though though one is God. There is nothing wrong with the police integrating people and forming a conclusive judgment, as a murderer or a child predator is deemed to...

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    Martin Luther was openly critical of James, and he wondered whether the epistle belonged in our Bibles, but he never formally proposed it should be removed. He did, however, suggest it be thrown out of schools: “We should throw the epistle of James out of this school, for it doesn’t amount to...

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    Hey Verily, thanks for sharing. There is a lot people can learn from reading the book of James. That is a great thing in my opinion. James writes well, but some consider him unfashionable, and not really looked at as far as his writings. He encourages us to ask God for wisdom but not to be...

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    The book of James is great. Some people dismiss it though, in reality. Such a great book of spiritual benefit to people today.

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    Verily, Jesus also came into the world to save it, and those who don't believe are already condemned and that people loved the darkness more than the light. I believe that making judgements is not the problem, but what is the problem.

    Corrupt Priest(s)

    When I think about this, the bible speaks about us being in Christ, and God being in us. We have a choice to react by the fleshly means, or the spiritual ways of the Spirit of Christ with in us, which causes only good. Sucks your church has division, Bob but that is nothing new to me as we see...

    Corrupt Priest(s)

    Because humans are human, Bob. Many people blame the devil, without looking at themselves. I do indeed believe that Satan has been done away with as the bible proclaims.

    Jesus Kingdom is not of “This World”

    Yes, Bob, but I think that Faith must come first. Then a change of mind comes after that. God will start writing on the hearts and minds of those whom are his.

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    Verily, let's look at the whole, before this chapter James talks about controlling the tongue, and where wisdom comes from.

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    Yes, Bob. There are times where we discern. We make judgements that hey perhaps smoking is not good for me, or whatever it may be. In the end though, I believe what is being spoken about by James is when it comes to looking at people and just making judgements about them. So I believe what you...

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    What gives us the right? Do you believe that people have the right to judge other people as though they are God?

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    In the face of this, that doesn't mean you can not love God, and love your neighbor as yourself... all in Christ because without him. We are simply unable to do so. And its by faithfully looking to God, that the Lord Yeshua, his death, burial, and resurrection. Allows us the ability because of...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Sometimes the lie which can come from ourselves is that our "reputation" matters. The truth is that suffering in the ways of Christ, means having no "reputation" at all. If our reputation matters, in the eyes of God it doesn't. Because Jesus made himself made himself of no reputation. If...

    Finger pointing and condemnation

    Amigo, thank you for your trying to help. I find help in going to God, not to men and what they may think. I forgive you, and I hope the best for you in your life man, in Christ. I am just saying that people whom believe they need to correct everyone on their sins, and yet they themselves are...

    Amigo, whatever you want. Peace to you.

    Finger pointing and condemnation

    I don't think it was Pauls opinion, that God was going to raise just and unjust people, amigo. But people do what they want, they go and pick on the prostitutes, the gays, and what not. As long as they aren't going after children, or trying to murder or harm people. It's between them and God...

    Finger pointing and condemnation

    I don't know what you consider to be love, Amigo. This is what I consider to be love,
