Thoughts from the Heart of 3dgessoft
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” --Luke 6:37
I am a Christian, but I was not raised in a traditional Christian home. My mother was physically and emotionally abusive towards me and my father, who walked out on my mother, my sister, and me, was an alcoholic. My mother claims to be a Christian and still, to this day, I have no idea where my father stands when it comes to religion. My mother used to berate me about many things: occasional drinking (not getting wasted), spending too much time with my girlfriend (now wife), and she even through me out of my house when I was 17, then proceeded to call the police and tell them that I was a runaway, which led to the police arresting me in front of my entire high school. I’ve gotten in to HEATED debates with her about Jesus and what The Bible says, which led her to end our conversations with “Well, MY Jesus doesn’t do this.” or “MY Jesus doesn’t do that.”
The reason why I am saying all of this and putting this out in the open is to say that I have witnessed so-called “Christians” condemning people, judging people, writing people off saying that people are going to Hell because they live a certain lifestyle, such as homosexuality, or because they sin constantly, such as swearing, lying, coveting, etc. THIS TYPE OF JUDGMENTAL BEHAVIOR IS WHY ALL CHRISTIANS HAVE SUCH A BAD REPUTATION AND ARE PORTRAYED AS HYPOCRITES. People who claim to be Christians and outwardly and loudly condemn people and judge people ARE NOT REAL CHRISTIANS.
With that being said, I am BY NO MEANS saying that I am perfect. I lie. I swear. I talk bad about people. I am a sinner. BUT I will NEVER write off an entire community due to the way they live their lives. I will NEVER condemn an entire group of people and tell them that they are going to Hell because their way of living is different from my way of living. I don’t care if you’re gay, straight, black, white, bisexual, transgender, or anything in between, I LOVE YOU. JESUS LOVES YOU.
It really BREAKS MY HEART to see what peoples’ negative, hateful, and hurtful words have done to the reputation of Christianity. I REFUSE TO STAND UP FOR IT! Don’t believe everything you hear. All Christians are not the same. I think these pieces of scripture sums everything up perfectly:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” --Romans 3:23
“Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye?” --Matthew 7:1-3
“Therefore, any one of you who judges is without excuse. For when you judge another, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the same things.” --Romans 2:1
YOU ARE LOVED.
