derp, i mean mam. im not used to the colored names for oppisite sex.
so you cant tell people that they are sinning and telling them its wrong, just let them be and let god handle it? if thats the case they will just keep sinning and all you just offer them is love instead trying to get them to repent and turn from their sin. surel if they die anytime they will stand to God face to face and they will say, but lord noone told us what we are doing is wrong, all they offered us is peace and love that is all.
Rightiouse judgement is usually a good thing. dont ever give someone any excuse for their sin, even if you think its judgemental to say repent! quote scriptures against their sin. noone wants to interfere the works of God, we are here to be his diciples.

there is a fine line between helping someone and blatant condemnation. We can offer help, but in the end, only God can change that person into the one He wants them to be. Being judgemental is dangerous in that if we seek to quote scripture just to prove them wrong and change them by force, they may fall away. anyway, that is just my opinion.

the verse that says judge not that ye be not judged proves my point. If you judge someone, and say that what they are doing is wrong, and you do not offer sympathy or help, then you will be judged the same way before God. Constantly saying someone is doing something wrong may be true, but remember, as sinners that are saved by the same blood, we have no right to judge them, lest we look like hypocrites. Only God is the judge, we cannot interfere with His relationship with His other children.

I like the first comment! I thought I was gay for a while but honestly I thought about being in a relationship with a woman and I was like nooo waayy. I felt the same way u did but I found out that I wanted what the other women had. I wanted a nice body and nice clothes. it was envy. so dear it could be something else. so I prayed to God that if I had anything that was in me that he didn't approve of to let it out of me. mind u I had to keep coming back on the prayer until I knew full well that those thoughts wouldn't entertain my mind anymore. just ask God about it he'll let u know trust me im a living witness! and he'll take care of it.

my advice to everyone on this page is to not only pray for situations like these but to intercede while u pray...feel the pain and hurt of what the person is feeling. And also to tell your own testimony. sometimes u need more than the Bible to get a revelation across. I know u guys mean well but let God speak through you. People are hurting and we have to put aside our feelings and our religiousness and simply let God do the talking for us.
I think you guys are both kind of right. (Nate and Repention)
We are Not repeat not called to judge the world. That is God's business.
Within the church setting is a little different. We are called to love each other, call each other to strive against sin and lead each other to repentance. But oddly enough we are somewhat allowed to judge each other, but only in a sense, more of a church discipline thing. We are not to judge someone who is genuinely repenting or trying to repent.
"It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife. 2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this? 3 For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this. 4 So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,[a] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord."
The Church here is called to throw this man out of the church? Yet what do we see about the man? He isn't mourning, but instead is boastful!
If someone is a practicing homosexual within the church - proud of it, not genuinely striving for God and repentance, not accepting that it is sinful. Then we are to remove them from the church.
This girl here though, she has came here concerned with a question... She is not proudly boasting - she is worried! The last thing this girl needs is judgement. What she needs is gentle love.
