Judging righteous judgment exposes the unfruitful works of darkness and reproves them... it doesnt tolerate or accept or fellowship with them. Matt 23:26 Thou blind Pharisee Matt 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers Luke 11:40 Ye fools 24:24 O fools Matt 17:17 O Faithless and perverse generation Matt 25:26 Thou wicked and slothful servant Luke 13:32 Go ye, and tell that fox, behold I cast out devils. Matt 23:27 Hypocrites, ye whited sepulchres Matt 25:41 Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil Revelations 3:19 As many as I love; I rebuke and chasten, be zealous therefore and repent. Paul said, Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Paul judged righteous judgment and rebuked and named sin and exposed the unrighteousness of men and showed them their sins reproving them to their faces. Acts 13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. 10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? So, though Street Preachers may seem unloving, intolerant, and cruel, by rebuking those who oppose them and calling them wicked and evil doers, sinners, and Pharisees.... What does the BIBLE say about that? I found no argument to prove that they are being unlike Christ, but quite on the contrary, I would say they are being Christ-like As long as, they are doing it in love; and filled with the Holy Ghost, like Paul was when he said, Thou child of the devil. Telling people theyre going to hell and exposing their sin is the most loving thing you can do for someone who has self-righteous beliefs that theyre ok with God and that the God of the Bible accepts them in their sins, as they are.... The WRATH OF GOD is Upon the Pharisees, the professors of faith who work unrighteousness. Sinners who claim to be Saints. For unbelievers, and people like Elymas who dont believe the Gospel and seek to turn others away from hearing it. Those people need a good, harsh rebuke. Public sins deserve a public rebuke. Them that sin, rebuke before all that others may see and fear. It would be different if my neighbor offended me, then I would go to him personally, but when someone is sinning in public, they need to be rebuked in public, so that others may see and fear...
