When you pass a moral judgment upon a person and then condemn them to h**l do you ever stop for one second to try to reach out to the person to help them in a meaningful way and i don't mean quoting scriptures but truly trying to help the person. Jesus said what you do to the least among you you have done unto me.when is the last time you stopped and helped a homeless person.or honestly reached out to a drug addict and tried to help them.Anyone can give a lip service and that equates to hypocrisy.you say you take the scriptures literally when it comes to homosexuals, but when it comes to the other teachings of christ love each other as i have loved you.when is the last time you bothered to stop for a minute and honestly try to help someone who was down and out.There is more to being a christian than going to church parroting scripture and saying i love jesus to everyone you meet.It is better that you help someone and are kind to them and they never know you are christian than for you to watch them starve as you tell them how jesus loves them.let him without sin cast the first stone .You cannot sit there and try to save someone from their sin when you cannot save yourself from your own which is to say that we are all on the same sinking ship and God does view sin equally so you are no better and no worse than the next.A man who claims to be without sin is a lier and the truth is not in him,do not think for a minute that you are sinless or perfect none are worthy,it is threw grace ye are saved not threw works lest any man should boast so i ask what kind of christian are you?

  1. Greeting from a son of God. To friend of the wind with Love. Our job is to give in a meaningful way. First passing judgment is not a Christians job. That is to be left to God! Telling you about the Lord Jesus and our father in Heaven, is. How else are we to tell someone about and who the Lord Jesus is? If I just say to you Jesus is the son of God, is that enough to change your heart and put your life in the hands of the Lord? To me if I give a few verses that get someones curiosity up to at least learn more then that's what I will do!

    This is a true story and can be verified. I not only lived on the streets for five years, I also had a problem with drugs and alcohol. About three of those five years I spent in a rescue mission. I would take day labor job just to get some money for drink and smoke. The other couple of years were sleeping were I could without getting my throat slit, eating out of restaurant dumpsters and wishing I was dead. I know first hand what it is. Been there, done that type of thing.

    I don't know your story but I'm willing to bet that it's a fairly happy one, and by your handle, call sign what ever you want to call it, your a free wheeling soul.

    I told you in the beginning that God is the only one who can and will judge, but I'm going to tell you the if you don't know the Lord Jesus your going to be in a world of hurt when it is time to be judged!

    Thank God that I'm not dead and praising the Lord Jesus for his sacrifice and resurrection. I couldn't do it without him! God bless!


  2. Only God is Judge. I don't condemn anyone to h**l. They condemn themselves by rejecting the once and for sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Peace.

  3. I agree, a lot of Christians like this have serious problems with their relationship with God. It isn't our position to condemn anybody.  

  4. My Friend,

    My wife and I have taken in people who were homeless.  We have given money and spent time assisting those who truly need help and ask for it.  We are not very wealthy but we are able to assist those around us who are needing at this time.  I also spend time in an extended care facility once every month praying with, singing with, reading to, and spending time with the residents there.  I know that according to Romans 3 "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD".  I pray each and every day and ask HIS Forgiveness for my sins.  Have a great weekend and a wonderful week.

    Thanks,

  5. We are to imitate Christ's example.  He had pity for the sheep for they were sheep without a shepherd, skinned and thrown about.  We should be moved to share the kingdom message with all who will listen, as the first century christians did.

  6. I am a Christian who believes you are absolutely right.  There is much more to Christianity than just filling a church pew.  Many so called Christians give lip service and go around to be seen.  Remember, the bible says, "They have their reward."  I do try to help those that pass by me.  I always obey the Holy Spirit.  I always help those that I can.  In all honesty, I believe that most professing Christians today don't really have a clue what Christianity is all about.  Many are decieved and believe that they are ok with God.  They will say at the judgment, "Lord we cast out devils in Thy name" and the Lord will reply, "Depart from me, I never knew you."  God bless you.  Stay strong.  With love in Christ, Michelle

  7. My sentiments exactly! True Christians will be persecuted even by other so called Christians. I believe telling someone their going to h**l is the worst sin ever. They all like to shout they are not robots, when in fact they are. Thoroughly programmed by their Church. I have come out of the modern day Babylon, and now know what a true relationship with my Lord is all about. The repetitious droning that one hears from the pews is not my idea of being close to God. I feel closer to God by examining every nook and cranny of a flower petal that leaves me in awe and wonder of His creativity. They all teach love, but all I ever saw was love for one another within the Church. What about the prostitute, the alcoholic, the homeless, the homosexual?  Most would be afraid to soil themselves if they gave them a hug. I have compassion for them, and surely know that there but for the grace of God go I. They don't need to hear condemnation, but words of compassion and love and hope. I could go on and on, but I think I have said enough. Probably enough to bring on rants of "you're going to h**l for that kind of thinking!"  

  8. I don't judge. I leave it up to God. Instead, I volunteer at the food pantry that my church helps run through Center City Christian Outreach. My husband and I can't afford to donate food or money, so we donate our time.

    And I know quite well that I'm sinful. That's why I keep asking God to forgive me and to help me do better.  

  9. It isn't our position to condemn anyone to h**l. That is between a person and God.

  10. To be a Christian means to be like Christ.  Christ helped a woman who was married and divorced five different times, and was shacking up with a married man.  He didn't condemn her, but did tell her that she needed a change that only He could give her.  He told a woman who was caught in the act of adultery that He did not condemn her, but He did tell her that she should go and sin no more or she would be in a worse predicament than being dragged through the streets half-naked and about to be stoned by a bible-believing but hypocritically religious crowd.  Sometimes we so-called Christians mean well but condemn people because they forget how messed up our own lives are and how much more we need God's grace, forgiveness and salvation than the g**s, bisexuals, lesbians, drug addicts and fornicators we are trying to "save."  Pray for me, I need Jesus just as much - if not more - than you do.  To whom much is given, much is required.  Religiosity without Jesus = h**l, hate and harshness; Jesus in my Spirit = love for everyone  

  11. St. Francis of Assisi said "In all the world preach the Gospel, if necessary, use words." Not all Christians are quoting scripture to you all the time. I try to lead by example, not by speech. Does this mean I won't encourage or quote scripture? No. I do those things if that is what the situation calls for.

    About this whole moral judgment thing. I can only tell you what the Bible says is wrong. I may disagree with your life, but I am not trying to tell you that you will go to h**l because you disagree with me, but rather that you might disagree with the Bible.

    This is a semi-Rossian Moral System which uses the Bible as an a priori standard. The underlying belief is that there is a truth and that doing X or Y or M is against that truth system.

  12. I thought this was a question for Christians? Christians are forbidden to condemn anyone to h**l.

    How does your details line up with Galatians 6:1?

    Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness...

    Why are you focusing so much attention on others and not yourself? What kind of Christian are you? Or have you torn Romans 14:4 out of your unused Bible?

    Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

  13. I'm sorry if that is the out look you have gotten from christians it was truly wrong of who ever has done that to you but trust me they are the hippo (hypocrite) christians I'm telling you their are christians that want to help others NOT condemn them.trust me once you get gods love ur addicted to it that's all you need to survive and have a reason to live.

    ps. I hope you know JUST  in the US  over 1000 kids will attempt to will them selves to night and six will succeed i wish they found their reason to live like i did.  

  14. christians will tell you it's not them condemning you to h**l.  They just speak for their god.

  15. You have a great deal of feelings bottled up and you really needed to express it. I like your sincerity and I think I hear what you're saying. Let me see if I can interpret.

    “A Christian is passing moral judgment when they tell someone what the Bible says is sin? So a Christian should not tell others about Jesus, His, love, and His judgment. A Christian should be passive, and at the same time extend mercy, grace, forgiveness, and his or her possessions to anyone in need regardless of how they are wasting their means. A Christian should love the sinner’s sin as much as he or she loves the sinner. In order to love a homosexual, a Christian should accept them even as if they were not homosexuals, and even accept them as buddies.”

    Those who have any knowledge of God by hearing or reading, unless their conscience is seared, know already, they are living in sin. And it’s their sin, which condemns them.

    If I’ve even come close to your feelings, you think you know what love is, but your confusion, maybe from bitterness, hurt, and rebellion is blinding your vision.

    It does appear to be judging when a Christian speaks correction from the Word of God to those whom they think are sinning. But Jesus did say to preach the Word in all seasons and that we would know each other by the kind of fruit that grows on the tree.

  16. I understand at whom you are directing this question, but please understand that many Christians in the world are already like that.  Many would and do go out of their way to help others.  Unfortunately, there are many who also witness, condemn, and think they're better than everyone else.  They're not all the same.

  17. Good call. Hellfire is not the way. Compassion and love is what Jesus preached and I follow.

  18. It's not our job to condemn, however it is not for us to sugarcoat God's truth to spare hurt feelings. We are to be gentle in giving you the Good News, but we are to give you all the facts involved. And the fact is to get right with God one must first admit they are a sinner before God and be repentful. No, we can't save ourselves. We believe in Christ and He saved us, that is the point of telling you His word. This gift is available to ALL sinners. I feel no need to boast the things I do to be a good Christian. They are private between the Lord and I as they should be. The things we do as Christians should never be done for the attentions and rewards of men.

  19. We all need a revelation of the Love Jesus was talking about, to operate in our daily lives.  Its not just lip service, but a heart service that reaches out with a helping hand. We can still minister the message of Jesus Christ by our helps and kindness to each other.

    Sometimes people never ever go to church, to hear the gospel, but should be able to see the gospel manifested in our lives.. let them see the gospel, in me.

  20. When a person begins to see sin as truly sinful then the only answer is Jesus Christ. There is no other way to salvation than by the one who gave his life for the ungodly.

  21. This "Christian" you describe does not fit the description of who I am, nor anyone else that I know within my Catholic community, nor anyone in any Christian community I know.

    Who is this whole thing based upon exactly? I know no one like this. Nice try but how about you get to know the people within a church community instead of basing it on what other people say, such as atheists or non-Christians? You evidently know nothing about the church nor faith.

  22. my honest and sincere answer is, I do not pass judgment(s), it is not my job, I do not condemn anyone to anywhere.

    and I am glad that it is not my responsibility.

  23. One, that also is to tell people about salvation to remove Sin.

    Love does not mean you turn a blind eye to people who are living in sin and do not want to change. that is love too.

    To just help some one physically will relieve a physical need but its not about relieving physical need. its about their spiritual need and need for a savior.

    Jesus condemned those who were only interested in having their physical needs met and not meeting a persons spiritual need.

    What good will it do a person to provide for their physical need but ignore their spiritual need. We are to preach salvation Jesus said not become a store house to just relieve physical need.

    The physical need is important but the spiritual need is greater.

    How can one love somebody and ignore the spiritual need and just care about the physical need?

    Our salvation is not based on the physical deeds we do.

    t*t 3:5  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
