  1. They already know it's a sin.Sinners love to sin.

    Galatians 6:

    7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

    8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.


  2. No, it's not. It's judgemental if you criticize someone because of the way they live theirlife.  It is not judgemental to simply make a person aware of the fact that they are sinning.

  3.   If this person is a friend of yours, it's okay to give your opinion.  But if they are not a believer and feels what they are doing is acceptable, then you can not tell them otherwise.  People need to learn on their own. If you are a believer and live your life they way you do, you are harming no one.  But to be judgmental of others is not your place to do so, but to be a friend is a good thing.  Life is life, we all make it what it is.  We all at some time have maybe done something we knew was not right.  All we can do is turn it around and try to do better.  Good luck to you.  

  4. you should tell them it's wrong, don't use the word sin in this case. it's just too wordy for a 3 letter word.

  5. We are made to be judgmental whether it be by morals, laws, or silly rules.  

  6. Yes. In addition to being really annoying.

  7. No that's not being judgment. If what they are doing really is sin...that would be whats commonly called, telling the truth.....

  8. Not really. But I'd make sure you tell them if you know for sure.

  9. No as long as it's in accordance with the Word of God.  We are told to rebuke, teach and correct.  We just can't force someone to listen.  If you are sinning and tell someone they are sinning, then you are a hypocrite and will be judged for that by God.  

  10. yes, because since you are NOT God, it is merely YOUR opinion it is a sin...

    worry about your own sin

  11. Yes because "sin" classifies an act in an unfavorable light in your eyes hence its judgemental.

  12. You have no right to tell anyone what your religion says.

  13. No.

    The commonly used quote from the Bible is "Judge ye not, lest ye be judged. For so as ye judge, so shall ye be judged."

    In other words...you can call out sin, but you'd better not be committing the same sin as the ones you've identified.

    Also, "Wilt thou pull the speck from thy brother's eye, but ignore the log in thine?"

    So we can inform others of sin, but our first priority should be to remove sin from our own lives.

    Last, "Let he, who is without sin, cast the first stone."

    So while identifying sin is ok, our first purpose should be to help guide that person away from sin, not to punish them for it.

    Of course, sometimes the sin is directly against us. If they ask for forgiveness, it should be given. However, forgiveness simply means you absolve them of your revenge. It doesn't let them off the hook of re-compensation or restitution.  

  14. Yes. Look up the word sin. Sin is the name given to poor judgement for those who subscribe to the organized religions.

    If it is not necessary, truthful, and kind,  do not say it. Also known as,"If you do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything at all". Or as all those Maury fans put it "U dunt no me"!

  15. No:

    Admonish the Sinner - A Spiritual Work of Mercy

    We can identify an action as being sinful, but only God can Judge whether in fact that person is actually guilty of sin.

    God bless!

  16. No.  The bible says, "if a brother be overtaken in a sin, correct them with all meekness".  Notice that it says a brother.  That means, a fellow believer.

    If someone does not believe in God, or the bible, they probably don't care if what they are doing is sin.  Therefore, I have no basis with which to talk to them about it.

  17. I think that it is possible to come from a place of love when you tell them, not wanting to offend. I think you want to be sure that they are safe, and secure in God. But, I doubt that the person you tell will see it that way. Imagine if someone told you that. You may feel defensive or judged. I don't think you should open with "You're a sinner" It would be better to discuss their behavior in a non-religious tone first, and then lead into what classifies it as a sin.

  18. Not on Y/A religion and spirituality.

  19. Unless what they are doing is considered morally wrong by the whole of society (ie. Beating an old lady with her cane), then yes, I would consider that being judgmental. Your standards of 'good' and 'bad' will differ from those of other people, and to expect otherwise is foolish.

  20. No.

  21. If the person is not of your religion it is very rude and close-minded to assume that your religion is right and their beliefs are wrong.

    If the person is of your religion, chances are they know its a sin and they don't want to be bothered about it.

  22. It is if they haven't invited your opinion.

  23. As a so-called sinner yourself, it is certainly not your place to dictate to another person what your god's view of their actions might be. They may not even belong to your religion, and therefore your rules wouldn't apply to them anyway. Besides, doesn't the bible say, "Judge not, lest ye be judged?" Also something about removing the log from your own eye before pointing out the splinter in your neighbor's? Telling someone they are sinning is tantamount to thinking you have the right to speak for your god, which if I understand your religion correctly, is a sin in and of itself.

    Hmmm?

  24. No! Only if start using the 3cs, condemning, criticising and complaining to them. You are not responsible for that individuals behaviour and actions. Be a friend to her/him and try to correct their transgressions with empathy and understanding.  

  25. unless you are perfect yourself ... I would say so

    it says in the bible not to judge others

    concern yourself with your own life ... that is all


  26. Sin is a religious concept and as such its meaning has no value. Rather than judgemental I would say that those who accuse people of sins simply have a weird sort of superiority complex.

  27. How about, mind your own business.

  28. "Is telling someone what they are doing is a sin, being judgmental?"

    Emphatically, yes.  Whether other people are offending God is simply not your business.  ...and if the other person doesn't happen to believe in your God, you can add being a bigot to being judgmental.

    Whatever happened to minding your own business?

  29. Why bother telling them that what they are doing is a sin? According to Christianity, one sin is enough to da** you to h**l. So it doesn't matter how many times you sin, because unless you're saved by Jesus, you're going to h**l.

    God makes no distinction between a mass murderer and a guy who once told a little white lie. Both deserve eternal h**l.


  30. Define sin using a source that doesn't resort to the Bible. And then I will give you an answer.

    Your concept of sin may be different from the person in question, so yes, it is judgemental, because you are making value judgements based on a belief system the person in question may not share. Leave the judging up to your ultimate power. That is what the Bible tells you to do, isn't it?


  31. Not if it is a sin and you are genuinely concerned for that "someone."
