We are to hate "sin"....ALL SIN....so to only point out the sin of one without considering your own sin you become a hypocrite. It is better to leave the condemning to God and pray for those who are bound up in their sins. I have met ex-homosexuals who have been set free of this sin and are a testimony to the power of God's Truth to set us free of the sin that so easily besets us. So rather than condemn them...pray for their deliverance and to be set free from it.
Pride is a sin....one that caused Satan to fall....
Disobedience is a sin.....Adam and Eve disobeyed God and caused the fall of mankind
Where do we draw the line? I wonder how many homosexuals Jesus encountered while on earth....(he sat with the sinners, you know, and even ate dinner with them)….
Taking a position of condemning is just creating a false pride in a person and insinuates that they have no sin in their lives.....puffs them up in their thinking that they are more righteous than others....gets them all bound up in self-righteousness....and many other things...…
The Bible says it is good for teaching, correction and rebuking. You disagree.
As for the splinter in their eye and the board in your eye that is Christian to Christian, not Christian to unsaved.
We are put on this earth to witness to others, not sit back and wait for the Holy Spirit to do everything.
I am talking about condemning the sin not the sinner.
Just praying will save anyone. Prayer has to be acted upon.
Yes Christ him sit with sinners as did the apostles and others. But they never let the sin slide.
We live in a world where you have to judge. As right here you are judging others in your comments.
As a councilman, Mayor and arbitrator part of my job was judging the actions of others.
I agree we have to deal with their own problems but I totally disagree that we are to be hands off with others. That is not in the Bible.
Christ and the apostles were not hands-off of others. Nor were the Old Testament prophets, priests and kings.
To do things your way we need to shut down every Christian forum in existence. Along with every Bible teaching church.
