Alright, so yesterday I left a quick note about how I really don't like judgmental people. So I guess you could say someone did spark me into wanting to write this, but it wasn't completely someone else. So to start off this rant on why judgmental people really get under my skin, I just want to ask you a quick question...Do you think you are better then someone? If you do, WHY? Is it because you can do your hair better, you dress better, you can sing, dance better, or you think your smarter, prettier, cleaner, nicer, maybe you play guitar, piano, baseball, basketball, whatever better then they do that makes you feel you are better person then someone else. (Well just to warn you in this blog I am going to be using Bible verses and if that will turn you off to this blog I am sorry and hope you still read anyways. )
Alright when I get in conversations with people who ask me how do you feel about homosexuals, abortion, people who do drugs, sex outside of marriage, anything that is very disagreeable/debatable to today's society people will talk with me about it, ask me questions. And yes I do have my opinions on homosexuals, drugs, abortion, sex, and anything else that is a little in the grey area of what is acceptable and what's not. So many times I will give them my opinion, and if they find that I might agree with their opinion on an issue they will start bashing on the problem or a person that struggles with those issues. AND I HATE THAT!! People who judge anyone whether they are "emo", "goth", Caucasian, African American, Asian, Bulgarian, Yugoslavian, a homosexual, a drug user, whatever...don't bash them around me!! We are all human and we ALL make mistakes!!
Romans 3:23
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
Matthew 7:1-2
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
So no matter how holy you think you are, how much you read your bible, how much you pray, or go to church, you are not free from sin, UNLESS you have asked god to cleanse you of your sins. But still we were all born into sin.
On Youtube you will see there are soooooooo many Christians on there bashing on the homosexuals, the girls who are very provocative, or just people who don't have the same views as they do! And all these Christians do is get on there and start saying how they are going to hell, and how they are the spawn of Satan or whatever and it is just so dumb. I think it is OK to have a different opinions and views on things as long as it is in line with the way God wants us to think. But even the people out there who aren't followers of Christ and don't have opinions like Christ, bashing on them, and telling them how they are going to hell because of their opinions is ridiculous, and isn't going to prove them anything except that all Christians are judgmental A** holes. Which is what they think of us!! I just think it's funny that Christians think it's a right that they have to go tell "sinners" just how wrong they are, when really they need to look in the mirror and see, they are just as much of a sinner as the person they are judging!!!
Psalms 7:8
let the LORD judge the peoples.
As much as we might disagree with a persons opinions, believes, race, or their sexual orientation we have not right to judge them it is not our place...IT'S GODs!! And if they don't see that there REALLY is a God out there who will judge them one day, but dearly loves them, what can you do? You can still love on them, pray for them and show them through YOUR OWN humble actions who Christ really is. Think about it, if they choose to be homosexual, "emo", non-believers, whatever then there still is an empty hole in their heart where Jesus belongs, so instead of pushing them farther away from what they need, point them in the direction of where they need to go! You could save a life! God forgives our sins, no matter how big we think they are, or how small they could be God died on the cross for ALL of us and ALL of our sins!!
Jeremiah 33:8
"I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me."
As that verse says he will forgive all sins!! Today instead of looking at someone who doesn't share the same views and opinions on everything as you do, why don't you ask them why they are the way they are, and believe the things they do. Before you judge you might find that we ARE ALL struggling humans looking for our place in this messed up world. Some just struggle to find there place in different ways and need love....God's love! Be that love, share God's love that he has placed in all of us the day we became followers of Him.
Genesis 1:27
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
That person you are judging was made in the same image as you are, so don't be so cocky about how much better you are, because God made us all unique. And that's the way things should be, I believe people she not be ashamed of who God made them to be! So next time we talk, or see each other don't feel afraid to talk with me about any opinions you might have because I would love to hear them. But it's just when people bash on other people for what they believe, and does really REALLY gets under my skin.
Well that's all I have for write now!! Tell me what you think about what I wrote about...any questions you have feel free to ask!!
Thank You for reading this incredibly long blog :D

God has already made his judgment on homosexuals in both the New and Old Testaments:
Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
Romans 1:26-27 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
Christians have a duty to speak out against sin, especially when the sin is steamrolling its way into the culture. As God's word says, homosexuality is not a natural orientation but a serious sin. Homosexuals want their views taught in public schools. This is going to give them and their agenda an open door to recruit young people into their wicked ways. I believe in loving the sinner but that must be balanced with speaking up for God's principles. Jesus loved the Jewish leaders but he never stopped speaking against their evil ways. That should be the Christian model in dealing with open sin of homosexuality.
I have nothing wrong with shining light on sin. It's just the judging that christians think they have a "right" to do because they are christian. This world stands condemed by God, that includes christians so when we judge people for what they do God is going to judge us harder!!
When Jesus was on this earth he hung out with the prostitutes, liars, lame, sick people, and everybody else that the world shuns today. So when we think it's ok for us to judge when God never judged. We as Christians need to remember why we fell in love with Christ in the first place. Because in Christ there is not condemnation, judgement, but there is love, peace, disipline, and if we can't show what God trully is then why to we represent him if we arn't going to be like him.
I know how God looks at sin, but if we take the stand point of i'm better then you and your a sinner, and i'm gonna "SHOW YOU" how wrong you are, they are NEVER going to change!! I have gay friends, and I love them just as much as my christian friends.
You can't change a sick my by telling him how sick he is, but if you show him the way to the medicine, and give him the medicine.
Thanks for a great comment! Hope to hear from you some more.
It makes me a proud father to have a daughter that looks at the tough issues from the perspective of God's word.
