It is a sin for you to say the Old Testament scriptures are false.

You need to learn the difference between "false" and just misunderstood or misguided.

You are the one who needs to learn. You sin by saying the Old Testament scriptures are false.

I am happy for you that you found Jesus. I am sad for you that you think the God He revealed and demonstrated is a mafia Godfather Don who made an offer of salvation we can't refuse OR ELSE! If your obedience to God is based on a fear of Eternal Hell, it is NOT what God wants from us.

Obedience is NOT the point. The agape love of God and each other IS! There is nothing to fear from God, but there are things we can BECOME that will result in very unpleasant spiritual consequences for us. It is all based on what we BECOME.

First of all I corrected him, and no such thing as sinning for judging.

You sin again by judging God and sin again by calling Him a mafia Godfather Don.

Fear of the Lord, and fear of Hell is what we have to have.

No obedience then no Spirit and life.

If you are not obeying God, then what kind of love are you showing? You need to answer that.

Suggest you read the bible again. How often does Jesus tell us NOT to judge?

And WHY do you think that is?

Would you want to be in heaven with someone who judges you?

If Jesus says, "Do not judge", who are YOU to say otherwise?

Jesus says not to be a hypocritical judge.

He doesn't want us to sentence people to Hell before he comes again.

You don't understand the scriptures.

We are to judge righteously.

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

You have a lot to learn. I am willing to help you.

I continue to chuckle at seeing the OP - apparently of atheistic stance - continue to talk as though God does indeed exist. "I don't believe in God, but actually do and think he's horrible" is the message he sends.
