Is this judgeing?

(1/12) > >>

lilitalienboi16:
Okay, sometimes i have debates with christians.

I post scripture after scripture, destroying there silly arguments of eternal torture from Jesus Christ. In the end, i simply tell them they despise the Word of God and won't believe the scriptures, so i simply cannot continue debateing with them, to which they reply 'why are you judgeing us? Do you think you are better then us?' ETC...

my question is, am i judgeing them by flat out telling them they despise the Word of God and thats why they wont believe the scriptures?

I certainly do not attack anyone, just the heresy they preach, but am i wrong in doing so?


I Just don't know, i can't find a scripture for it, i certainly know Jesus tore apart the pharisees at every turn, and that 'Friendly rebuke is better then secret love.' However i don't know if i'm 'rebuking' them or 'judging' them, or what am i doing? lol

Thanks for any help.

God bless you all,

Alex

Greetings Alex,
Here's a passage to read and meditate on: Phil.1:12-20. The verses that jumped out at me in particular: vs.15-18, NKJV, "Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will: The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice."
Also: 2Tim.4:1-5; James 2:12,13

Search your heart brother, judge yourself, and may you find love as the motivating factor.
Your brother in Christ,
G.

Bradigans:
What is the nature behind you doing this?

Bradigans:
It's easy for us to convince (coax) ourselves into believing that we're defending God's Word and not our own ego's. We can be our own biggest hypocrites...

Hello Alex

 We have to treat each other as we would like to be treated and this means if I am dull deaf and blind, I sure would like to be corrected and influenced to see and know the truth. This influence might be sharp or soft but it has to happen to motivate refutation of error.

 Is that judgment or kindness?

A detractor detracts from the truth to become the accuser of the brethren. Are you being falsely accused for refuting lies, heresy, false teaching and in coming against idols of the heart with the truth and in tearing down the imaginings of the carnal mind is it not you who are being judged? Well treat such a person if that were youself in those shoes of blindness and persecution. Refute with evidence and the word of God but also balance this advice with the wisdom of knowing that understanding comes only from the Spirit. Your motives will be evaluated by the Spirit. As Bradigans points out, it is good to check them always. :)

Peace to you

Arcturus :)
