me I forgive them because christ has forgiven me. even tho it is not always easy. when my ex wife sinned aganst me by sleeping
with another man and then marrying him, at first I was angry as I had a right to, just as God was angry with man when he sinned
aganst him. But becuse of Gods love He chose to forgive man, and made a way were mans sins could be forgiven through Christ.
all the chritians I know hold to this same out look on life and forgiveness. Now as for judging Iam not sure what it is that you are driving at, what specific judgements are we talking about here?
what is it that we are judging?
i'ts not everyone, infact i believe i illustrated this point already... but i'll do it again

think of those solid firm believers, the fanatics.... 'god is right, if you don't follow you're wrong and you have to go to hell' the people who are constantly trying to convert everyone they meet....

they also share this thought that it's their job to judge you as a person...

a perfect example.. the religious people who show up at gay pride and gay marches and everythign else, shouting their slogans, and basicly calling anyone who's on the opposite side of them the devil, full of sin, and etc....

THATS what i'm talking about... it's not their place to judge, nor is it their place to hand down judgement. (i'm not nessicarily talking about those who've actually been 'sinned' against, perhaps the title is misleading)

but these fanatics treat 'sinners' as if they're lower then dirt and nothing, and i have seen it over and over, and i really don't understand it...

even the bible says it's no humans place to judge, it's a humans place to turn the other cheek (or forgive and forget) and let your god hand down the judgement...

it only helps my case that the people who usually exempt this are the "real followers" (the ones who pretty much follow the new testament to the tee, and some of the old as well) but they can't follow the part about it's not their place to judge, they actually think it's their place to judge someone...

hope that enlightens you to what i mean...
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . here's something to discuss (forgiveness) first i should state i don't believe... but it's something i've wondered for awhile... IF god and jesus are so forgiving, why are their 'real' followers (by real i don't mean they're better followers, just that they tend to stick closer to the bible then others....) so unforgiving... of anything and everything.... on a side note... they're also not supposed to judge, but leave that to god, yet they still judge... so why do you think that is? i personally think it's because Rating: 5
