QA: Why Is the Church So Judgmental?

June 11, 2021

QUESTION: Why is the church of Christ so judgmental, condemning everyone but themselves? - June 9, 2019

ANSWER: How can you see through the fog & smog of judgmental sinners and think condemnation is only coming from Christians?

1. It is NOT wrong to teach what is right. Moses taught Israelites that loving God means keeping His commandments and judgments. (Deuteronomy 7:11-12; Deuteronomy 11:1) In the Bible God has given His judgments about human behaviour. It is not judging to preach God's judgments, for we are not making that judgment ourselves (1 Corinthians 11:31-32). ...

2. Judging is wrong when we are harsher on others than we are on ourselves. (Luke 6:37; Romans 2:1-2)...

Right Judgments: Mini Article Now Available

March 29, 2021

“Discrimination” is the quality or power of finely distinguishing,” or making judgments. Making moral judgments based upon what God says is exactly what God wants us to do. Solomon asked God to, “Give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?" (1 Kings 3:9). Making “judgments” and “discerning” on the basis of “good and evil” is what God's “wisdom” is all about. Jesus called “hypocrites” those who “can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time? Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?” (Luke 12:56-57). Making moral judgements, people “Have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14). - March 29, 2021 Words of Wisdom Articles.

Might Doesn't Make Right - Mini Article Now Available

October 16, 2020

Because the Media focuses on street mobs and their violence, people may ask, “Are they right?’’ God once warned: “You shall not follow a crowd to do evil.” (Exodus 23:2) Solomon’s wisdom said, “Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the LORD, but the blameless in their ways are His delight. Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; but the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.” (Proverbs 11:20-21) A union of sinners, expressed as to “join forces” (literally, "hand to hand”), cannot overpower God's line of “righteousness”. God finds abominable everyone who teaches otherwise! Proverbs 17:15: "He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.” Let's join hands in what is right, and not be pressured into what's wrong! - October 15, 2020
