this is a laughable concept that does not exist.

But there are those that try too....crybaby

And we're not christians........this is what I believe Jesus was talking about.......but the church tampered with it..............

Trying is admirable...as long as you love peopel for who they are, not what they could become.

Exactly!! jump

Agreed, to a point.

I do not love the murderer for who he is, only what he could have been. I do not love the rapist for what he is, only what he could have been. I do not love the pedophile for what he is, only for what he could have been. I feel sad, and I would love them because they are misguided human beings, but I do not love them for what they are as far as their actions.

Now, given this, I do not love individuals for what their actions make them in these types of instances. And by extension, I do not love the part of individuals that encompasses their failings, I love the part of them that desires to not fail.

Perhaps then they are not deserving of your love? Perhaps they only deserve their rights as human beings and nothing more.

Every living creature IS deserving of love........

even cockroaches? 😑

Despite the depth of depravity a person descends into, a person can still return. If I decide that a person is incapable of returning, I have set a limit. If I set that limit, who will set the point of no return for my actions? I don't believe that I have the capacity to make that judgement. The Biblical example says a person that is without sin is the only one worthy of making that judgement, and in its context that person would not make it. We should love others in spite of the things they do that we do not love, otherwise, why should they return?

Yes, the world would be messed up without Cockroaches. The insect world is one of the most important parts of the ecosystem and its healthy existence. Cockroaches are vital to it.

And I think cockroaches are cool.

There is nothing wrong with judging as long as the judgment is not hasty, based on first-glance, or unjust.

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

Here is how the Amplified Bible translates this same passage of Scripture:

John 7:24 (Amplified Bible)
Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly and righteously.

Judging is different than condemning and many people do not see this. It is also important to understand the implications of judging someone. I find that judging someone chanes your perspective and approach towards them. This is often wrong. I think that no matter what people do we must treat them with love and hope that they can repent (secularly or religously) and improve themselves.

The Amplified Bible inserts text in an attempt to make it easier to understand. If any text in existence falls under condemnation by this verse:

Revelations 22:18

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book

This version of the Bible does.

We should never judge because we don't know what caused a person to be where they are at this point in time......

Like the saying "Don't judge me unless you've walked in my shoes"

"But God will judge the ones outside. And you shall put out from yourselves the evil one."
I Corinthians 5:13

* the true Church stated in the Bible has the authority to judge but only within their own premises... they do not judge people outside their Church, God will judge the ones outside... 😉

According to the Bible only God has the right to judge, the rest of us are to love!!

As far the the "evil one"..........there is non, only from myth......it's your consciousness that condemns you.....and I feel that was put there for a purpose for us to learn and listen, though not many do..
