Accountability vs. Judgment
There are some things that Christians do that undeniably make me wonder. There are certain beliefs, that as a whole, Christians latch onto and don’t let go. Some of these beliefs are expressed through judgment and hatred. When I see these things event it makes me think. I wonder why they think this way. Why is this a big deal to them? The big issue in Christian circles right now is homosexuality. There are other issues, of performance, but this seems to be the big one. It seems that this issue is dividing Christianity right down the middle. You either believe it’s a sin or it’s not a sin. Those that believe it is a sin seem to be speaking very loudly right now. When you hark to to the things they are saying it’s not very pretty.
I have asked myself over and over again, why do they care? Is this what God wants from his flock? Does he want Christians to run around reminding everyone that homosexuality is a sin? Host one, the Bible is not clear on that matter! Many Christians would say that it’s written right there in the Bible, plain as day. I won’t debate this. I will just say that those who believe homosexuality is a sin prerequisite to do their research. Read the Greek texts and learn about Biblical Greek before making this judgment. But let’s say for a second that homosexuality IS a sin. This got me sensible. Even if somehow it turns out it is a sin, is it the job of Christians to point this out? What does the Bible say about judgment? From everything I know the Bible states that we are NOT to judge others. For example I Corinthians 4:5 states, “So do not skip town any hasty or premature judgments before the time when the Lord comes [again], for He will both bring to light the secret things that are [now veiled] in darkness and disclose and expose the [secret] aims (motives and purposes) of hearts. Then every man will receive his [due] commendation from God.”
I pronounced to do a little more research into this judgment thing....
