Is it truly possible to love others as we love ourselves?

I believe however, that your understanding of God is faulty because yes, He hates sin, but as far as the judgment part....He would much rather, as Christ's death atests to, redeem then judge...this is what kind of Love God has. However...it is your choice to believe what you want.

Wow - unbeliebable...

Why don't you leave the judging to Jesus MJ, that is what God has done.

John 5 v 22 - "For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,"

v 23 - "That all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Fahter who sent Him." Ysehua.

why is it okay for others to judge her, and not okay for her to judge others?

I find it rather bold to say someone's understanding of God is faulty when we have read Dave's many threads and I see him as quite sound Biblically speaking.

That is what I am commenting on Charitow.

Tell me Gideon -

is the Christian walk for you the hardest road you have ever taken?

Mayt I ask for what purpose this question is asked? I get the feeling I am a deer heading into a big pile of free corn but there are these funny little stands up in the trees.

I've never felt like a deer -

was just a question.

has she read dave's many threads?

regardless, she was judged, and nobody said it was wrong. why would she not think it ok to judge others? and if one wants to comment on how it is wrong for her to judge dave, why does not one also comment on how it was wrong for her to be judged?

is it ok to judge our brothers and sisters? or is "judge" a subjective word?

either way, she has been wronged.

Ok Charitow, in that case each one of us has been wronged at some point or another on this forum.

We have all judged and been judged here -

Charitow,

No one has Judged her. Judging her would constitute Judging her Salvation.

We have measured what she is saying against the Word of God. This we are supposed to do. When we stop doing this we are in the wrong. As Believers we are to Judge every thing we hear. We Judge Righteously and when we Judge Righteously we are to use the Righteous measure, the Word.

Please explain how she has been wronged.

Peace,

Dave

Charitow, Miss Jenny attacks anyone who disagrees with her, and starts attacking them, while proposing that they are simply wrong and she is right with no proof outside of her own logic. She has even gone so far as to completely misquote scripture. This is a pattern for her, and she has done this in at least two other threads that I have seen.

She even went on the attack with me, and I agreed with her but suggested some other things that went along with the topic. She did not agree with what else I said so she attacked me and accused me of attacking her.

This is not judging, this is just being discerning. We are called to to this.

She has not been wronged and disagreeing with her is not "judging" her. Missjenny is the one who gets miffed at anyone who questions what she believes, but reserves the right to disagree with others. She's the one operating from a doublestandard.

If you would stop being so egotistically conceited and head over heels madly in love with your 'great self', then you would understand that the verse means that you should ONLY HAVE ENOUGH REGARD FOR OTHERS "AS" you have for yourself.

Are you speaking generally or specifically about someone? Just wondering...

The ones speaking ill, are speaking about me...and enjoying it. The 2nd replier to my post, which started this whole thing, insisted on debate or argument...as he did not attempt to get any clarification at all BEFORE tearing my post apart. His approach was brash and very hurtful...and humiliating. He didn't seem to care at all to who he was speaking to...as his first statement was not even to me, but to everyone, telling them how he was going to show my errors. My post was very open to respectful conversation and others ideas, and even disagreements, because I like to learn from others.....however, I was not ready for or desired strong debate/dispute.

SO, does a believer in Jesus HAVE to defend themselves (altho if they do...they really get it then!!), put up with being TOLD you ARE wrong (which halts discussion and puts up defenses)...or desire or have to put up with strong debate in order to post here on this site??? I'd like to know.

Is it truly possible to love others as we love ourselves?

People, taking into account the question asked in this post by the OP, and not seeing much love in it anywhere, I guess the answer to the question is a flat No?

Where is the grace we should display to all, believer or not, in this thread? And this cuts both ways.

Even some of the reasoned answers, given by some knowledgeable people, people of whose the majority of answers to questions of scripture, I believe are sound (we all disagree to some point with each other at times), lack grace and gentle instruction.

Or tell me I'm wrong.

Close it Dave, please.
