Answer 1

They're Christians, that's their favorite hobby.

And they learn from their leader deity, who "judges" everyone.

Answer 2

Since such people are not and cannot be Christian, the 'judging' that you speak of cannot be of the person as such, but of the actions.  The judgment of that person is for Christ to do on judgment day.

However, in regard to their activity and non-hidden blatant activities these are condemned in the Bible together with murder and idolatry.  As such, a Christian would try to treat such people with respect at the work place while keeping his distance from them in close personal friendship.

If the sexual deviant person keeps his orientation a non-issue and doesn't bash others with it continually as it is being done here on Yahoo, there would be no problem having coffee and conversation or a game of chess / a game of sports with such ones.

I am sure that there are some such who deviate that behave decently around others of a normal orientation so this would clearly dictate one's own behavior.  

I have experienced a work situation where a group of heterosexually oriented people were absolutely obnoxious in their sexual innuendos and continually obscene joking and actually were using their obscenity to persecute those whom they knew were of a Biblical morality in which marriage is where s*x occurs.  Such ones also will get their judgment from Christ.

Answer 3

All humans are weak.

Christians do not have super powers.

Christians make mistakes like everyone else.

God love you!

Answer 4

Oh, you mean like the way so many dear sweet atheists here on R&S are attacking a seventeen year old girl for not using use common sense?

Answer 5

The good merciful Lord at one point commanded the death of homosexuals.

I guess be grateful they're only judging.

Answer 6

Why are you so judgmental of judgmental people?

maybe you need to work on that kid,

try and do better in the next life OK

God still loves you despite the fact that your just human like eveyone else on this planet

Answer 7

You seem to think that its just Christians who like to judge. Bad judgment on you part. Its funny how you can come here and see how other people like to spend their time putting down one group of people. Your group happens to be Christians. And I have to tell you. Your not doing a very good job.

Answer 8

Because they think they are right. You say "some" I say "most". I was raised Roman Catholic. My mother is the first to judge anyone but fly off the handle if you judge her in the slightest. Other friends of mine that are protestant judge also.

Deist (former Catholic)

Answer 9

We're all human and, unfortunately, as humans with a free will we will judge either by thought or deed. Yet, Christ was perfect and overcame His desire to judge (example-the crucifixion) thus we should ALWAYS strive to be like Him and not judge.  

Answer 10

I think it's a human temptation to want to put others down, because we then feel better about ourselves (in a miserable sort of way).

We do have to judge to some extent, but you're referring to condeming people and telling them how bad they are.  I will not do that (as best I can)--I don't feel it's my place AND I've done some bad things myself.  God has forgiven me--I don't need anyone bringing up the past.

That being said, I will tell people if they are wrong--but that is not a put down or condeming them.  We should always be helping others learn what's right and admonishing them (lovingly) when they do something wrong.

Answer 11

If you don't judge others how can you control them. Also fear is often used when others step out of line as well as things like being cast out by your family or the community at large. Look it up if you don't believe me you will find plenty of stories. www.exchristian.net is a good place to start cause they have hundreds if not thousands of stories like that written in by real people.

Sure they claim to be loving and forgiving but how can they truly be when they don't know what the loving and forgiving thing is to do. Christian love is not true love it is a corruption of love. I have felt this love energy and it is putrid. Being open to true spirituality and being in a christian worship house is like spiritual acid on your skin. True love comes from the heart. If purity is what they are striving for. Anyone who can sense energy could say the christians are about the least pure. The fact of the matter is that their belief system is not a religion but a program to remove true spirituality and control people. IN CLOSING BE PURE NOT HOLY. IF NOT FOR YOURSELF THEN FOR EVERY SELF RESPECTING PSYCHIC THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH YOUR FILTH, PRACTICE AURA CLEANING AND CHAKRA CLEANING AND BE SHURE TO DO IT TWICE A DAY FOR AT LEAST THREE WEEKS. Sorry if i came of hard but that's the truth. Hope this helps.

Remember dont over do it if you feel over stimulated back off it takes your spirit time to adjust and become healthy again you can also read the whole site and do other meditations on it as needed or at your discretion.

Answer 12

Because they are human, and being judgmental is a human condition, not just a christian one.

Answer 13

All people judge. Christians are no different than anyone else.

Just because everyone does it, doesn't make it right. Our Lord told us not to judge, or we would be judged in like manner.

To judge means to pass judgment on another individual, find them guilty and assign a punishment. With the exception of the judicial system, we as Christians are not to assign punishment to those who do not measure up to our ideals.

We however are encouraged by Christ to be "fruit inspectors". That means we can observe the behavior of another individual and measure it against the guidelines God/Jesus dictated in the scriptures. If an individual does not abide by those guidelines, the Christian may chose to distance himself from the individual or confront the individual in love driven by concern.

Concerning the issue of homosexuality, I personally believe that the love of Christ can not be shone if the Christian distances himself from the g*y person. I also believe that unless God orchestrates a confrontation, it will not result in anything but a negative outcome.

All people should be treated with respect, with dignity and with kindness.
