Where is the fine line of being judgmental and truth?
I started this blog to help me with my judgmental attitudes and legalistic ways. I fully admit I have a long way to go. One of the things that has been helpful for me is the self-correction or should I say peer correction that occurs here. Many times I blow off my ignorance only to be corrected by some of you. I am not offended by that at all. In fact I will admit it when I see I’m wrong.
Here is where I’m struggling. Where is the fine line between standing for the truth I understand in the Bible and being Judgmental? I’m just curious to find that balance. Can you help me? So often I will quote from the Bible and be accused of being closed minded or judgmental. I’m sure there are times that is true. But if I’m a follower of Jesus Christ shouldn’t God’s Word be my guide?
So where is the balance? How do you know when you have crossed over the line of judging a person verses a doctrine or belief?
What do you think?
