Who told you that. Jesus said to judge righteous judgement all day. How can we live without judgement. We judge what is good and what is bad. Should I buy that apple?.. looks bad... just like Jesus said .. you will know a person by their fruits.. if the fruit of them is good, the tree is good, If the fruit is bad the tree is bad.

Good fruits are manifest in the following of Jesus and his commandments .

Has anyone noticed the new trend of OMG.. ?this is taking the Lord's name in vain... God knows from beginning to end and people are still taking the Lord's name in vain , breaking one of the commandmentS. Also the word of God judges. the word says do not take the Lord"s name in vain. If one does they are guilty and are judged by God.

Are you sure it was go and sin no more? seems to me, that would require someone to be perfect after accepting christ.

Lets rethink that one.

'Righties' seem to not to understand that Jesus taught his followers to love others as themselves (empathy), and neglect the 'cast the first stone' and 'do not judge or you too will be judged' parts.

If people say that they're washed by the blood of Jesus in their broken selves, and don't fix all of their problems because they're human, but require that gay people renounce their lifestyle in order to be able to follow Jesus, isn't that passing judgment? Jesus wouldn't do that. He'd welcome anybody with a sincere heart with open arms.
As the woman taken in adultery, Jesus said , Go And Sin NO MORE.

I would rather have young people uttering Oh My God - than not mentioning God at all. It is not in vain. To be a wack job Christian and in vanity (vain) constantly utter the name of Jesus over and over again our of so-called righteous pride is taking the Lord's name vain. As for God making judgement - I would say that the master of eternity and the endless universe does not occupy himself with such trivial matters of judging what are mere microbes in comparison to HIM. That would be like you or I watching an ant hill and pointing out the evil ants as compared to the good ants.

We all know what is good and Godly. It is man that judges and punishes. God created everything..The good and the evil and has domain over both. It is our job to sort it out. We start with ourselves.

No, That is out of context , way out of context..It is written, should grace abound that sin abound, GOD FORBID.

We are told to judge righteous judgement. Judge the fruit of a person whether it is good or bad. If one continues in sin they have NO PART of God. Jesus came for the remission of sin. Jesus prepaid the price for our sins but we must be born of the Holy Spirit, to invite Jesus into our lives and follow him through his word . Then the word edifies the spirit and the old flesh person will war against the new spirit. Then the Holy Spirit conquers sin as we ask God for forgiveness for our sin. We grow to be a stronger Christian when the Holy Spirit edifies us in all parts of our lives. It is a mystery how the Holy Spirit cleanses us through the acceptance of Jesus's sacrifice on the cross.
