381st Post Jesus on Judgment New Section.

Judgment in the New Testament where Jesus is concerned has become a very sticky issue. Jesus tells us in the Sermon on the Mount, not to judge. Then in the rest of the Gospels He tells us to discern people's fruits and leaven. The problem is that many so called Christians have no idea where Jesus weighed in on the subject of judgment. We have church's that allow abominations to become ordained as pastors. We have become a group that feel that Capital punishment is wrong. Jesus died on a Roman Cross (capital punishment)! God invented it!! Read your Bible, hint, read Deuteronomy.
We say Jesus would accept all people regardless of what they do. The problem is that all of these things only reflect half-truths of what Jesus taught. We as Christians have started to teach the same way the Pharisees taught, according to our own understanding instead of God's. Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount, not to judge. If you read the context of that passage, the judgment Jesus was talking about was the condition of their hearts. Only God can see the condition of our hearts; this is not our job. Jesus asks us, that when we become Christians, we are to start taking off the attributes of the world, and start putting on the attributes of God. This is our life's work until God calls us home at death. During this time, we are to become the most Christ-like, we will; until God completes the work that He had started. We need to remember that the word Christian means Christ Like! Who do you look like??
