Bible Question:
When you say Christ in that verse that you quoted tried to explain to us not to be hypocryte by judging people but not looking in ourselves: Now lets say that your fellow borother or sister falls into drugs. You tell him you won't speak to that person or allow them to your house or go to there house. Also you are telling other to take your lead for now there living in sin. When not to long ago you your self were doing drugs. Will as you hold that fact that your holding your codenming your brother for sinning in something you use to do your self. Will God hold you to your past and treat you as you are treating your brother. Even for things in your past befor you were saved. As you now hold them to your brother. |
Bible Answer: If in my past before receiving Christ, I was in a drug addict, I feel it would be my duty to speak with my brother and encourage him by sharing my testimony of how I was delivered from the addiction. I believe there is strength that can be gained for others who seek it, when we share our testimonies. To abandon my brother in a time when encouragement and love is truly needed is so not cool from where I sit. And if I chose to speak with him in love and sound encouragement about a problem that I had, is that not sound judgement? (If I am missing your point... charge it to my head and not my heart) I Love Him Today! -khuck |
