Yes–No?

Of course, we haven’t yet agreed as to the biblical definition of ‘judgemental.’
And of course, if you choose to answer, no matter your answer, that could lead us down a long path.

Reason enough to stop being all high and mighty and start being non judgmental to other sinners, don’t you think?

#2. You wrote: I don’t need to compromise, but don’t need to fix people either! Unless they ASK for my opinion, help or advice.
——–Did you not really read what I wrote? “We sat down and immediately he went into how he was an alcoholic.” Do I have to spell it out?

Mimo, you have done what many here do. You don’t like what you read, so you make assumptions and read into what is written [Oops, myself included].

So, I ask again, where do I say who goes to heaven and who not?
And since it wasn’t apparent to you by what I wrote about the young man and me sitting down to talk, he wanted my opinion and advice.

I love Casting Crowns. Great concert. “Does anybody hear her.” Great song. Just a minute, I am going back and listen to it. Yep, just what I remember. No one helped her see the “Ways of God.” Two parts to that song.
#1.
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she’s going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
—————-No one ‘Under the shadow of our steeple’ stopped to help her before she
went down.

#2.
If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can’t see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her
—————-After she went down, no one loved her enough to help her.
Jesus would save her life, and tell her, “Go and sin no more.”
Remember, those where Jesus’ words, not mine.

Mimo, good to make your aquaintance.

fishon,

pretty big to say who goes to heaven and who not. i thought it wasn’t our deeds but His. I’m not saying “everything is ok”, i’m not one of those people, but laying it out like that, I do resent it and don’t think the same way, I don’t think I can say who goes to Heaven and who not. And even if I am of some certain opinion, like David said, I can be it “lightly”. I don’t need to compromise, but don’t need to fix people either! Unless they ASK for my opinion, help or advice. People already often feel bad and guilty already. I think love for that man, whatever you think is the truth, would be something else than bringing judgement on his head. When I’ve been in low points in my life so far, What gets me up is love and help, not judging look. Check out MercyMe’s “Does anybody hear her”
(could be Casting Crowns, I always get them mixed up!!)

all the best

Mimo
