Judge not.
It sickens me that churches in America are judging people harshly and unfairly. In Arlington, a church refused to host a funeral for a man that had been an upstanding citizen because he was a homosexual.
For those of you who haven’t heard about this, you can find the article here.
Some Christians today are forgetting a simple rule that God told us in the Bible – don’t judge.
” Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God; as it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. So each of us shall give account of himself to God.” Romans 14:10-12
In the end, it is not up to us to judge other people. We are all sinners, created equally. We will have to answer for our sins in the end, just like everyone else.
Love the sinner, but hate the sin. You don’t have to accept their lifestyle, but you can accept THEM.
