Even I agree with leaving the judging to God. I think the nuance here is that I do not equate making observations about spiritual reality with necessarily judging or condemning another person. In the context in which the "judge not" imperative is made in scripture (Luke 6:37), the idea is simply that God will apply the measure of judgment against you that you apply to others. It does not mean that you have to be neutered from speaking the truth, or warning someone about the dangers of what they are doing to themselves. Just that if you are a harsh judge, you better not have a spot on your record, or you won't get any mercy either. Definitely something we forget to our peril when feeling outraged about something. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
