You just judged. Hypocrite.

Chrysostom, you are going to hell with Persphone66 on the same charge. Failure to not covet.
What if it's obvious to a Christian that another person is Hellbound? (Let's use P-66 as an example). Does that Christian not have an obligation to share the Word of God with that person?
Mind telling me what I'm coveting?
Where?And here I thought the decaying souls of atheists was proof enough.
Actually I was being general and you accusation provided a fine example.More specifics please. If you're referring to the lifestyle that you associate with, I have plenty of evidence to back up my words.
And they all claimed to have a patent on judging?No, I'm talking about the 1,000,000 atheists that I've dealt with before you.

Encouraging them to follow the ways of His Righteousness is.
That is "judgmental" to some.
Rom 14:4
We are not to judge someone else's servants.
1 Cor 5:11
We are not to associate with 'brothers/sisters' who habitually sin, but judging them is pointless, because we are not the Judge.
1 Cor 5:12-13
We are to rid ourselves of wickedness, but we cannot judge. SIN is SIN, but God is the judge/jury/...
Just the way I read it. I'm no scholar, as I'm sure many of you will point out.

Good Scriptures . . .
The confusion comes from not distinguishing between the wrongful judging the eternal fate of others, and rightful discernment of right and wrong.
Christians are required to do the latter and make moral evaluations regarding teachings and behaviors, etc. but they are forbidden to do the former and declare others as reprobate . . . for only God knows the fate of individual souls.
Even a person teaching wrongly today, and considered an enemy, might be regenerated and given new spiritual life and repentance tomorrow, and prove to be a brother in the Church of Jesus Christ!

Explain to us how we can "get it right" P-66.
Inquiring minds need to know.

Try asking questions before telling people what they think or what they believe or accusing them of things they don't do. That's a good start really. It's not that difficult to understand, even for you.
