One of the most common criticisms that christians face, and especially those who are exposing or confronting sin, is the constant accusation, by belivers and unbelievers alike, that they are judging. The biblical passage most frequently cited as a proof text against any and all moral judgement is Matthew 7:1-2....we consistently hear that the bible teaches not to Judge and to do so is unchristlike. After all they say, Jesus never judge or called people ny names. Sadly, such statements reveal either a great ignorance of the bible, a humanistic sympathy with sin and rebellion, or both. Now the plain fact of the matter is that we are not actually doing the judging: God is. We are judging by Gods word. God has already made the judgement, it is merely our duty to communicate that to the world. (We are to be the mouthpiece of God, His messengers). The question is not, who are u to judge? But rather, who are we to withhold the warning of Gods word? Is there anything loving about refusing to warn the wicked to avoid wounded feelings? CAn anyone deny that such motivation is selfcenterd?
