If a person is blessed by not standing in the way of the sinner, why stand in their way?

Can you even imagine this world if that passage was followed and each of us remained true to ourselves and the LORD? So many problems are magnified because so many feel they must stand in the way of others, especially the "sinners".
Be blessed and let them be. Politicians are making a killing off of our willingness to let the business of others affect us. It is just too damned divisive, don't ya think?
Psalms 1
[1] Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2] But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.......

I'm pretty confident Believers are compelled by the Holy Spirit to confront and stand up against evil and to not be passive in the presence of evil.

Like the law of man, it can be interpreted in so many ways. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
So, why not let them be?

You are a troll of do not understand what the Scripture is saying.
Read other translations and read the Scripture in CONTEXT. The psalm starts with three phases of ungodly behavior that form a continuum.

I know exactly what I understand the scripture is saying. Who are we to judge? Why spend your time in front of abortion clinics when ultimately, because of abortion, that line shall perish.
Yes, you are correct. I spend no time listening to others telling me how to think. But I certainly will not judge you either.

All the prophets and apostles did this. I believe they were blessed. We were certainly blessed by them standing up and speaking God's Truth.

This is interesting - especially the 9 upvotes so far.
I don't see enough of a resistance by Christians! Too much "turn the other cheek"
If we don't do a better job of resisting evil we will have no rights in this country. This country founded (basically) on Judeo-Christian structure. Not playing enough hardball is how the Left has grown to such dominance.

Well, that’s not the meaning of this passage. It is referring to not following guidance of the wicked/ungodly and being around/acting like sinners, but rather fixating and delighting in the law of the Lord.

Its not your salvation at stake, dont be a puritan.
Other peoples sin isnt your responsibility.

There is no grey area whether you are a believer or not.
Wrong is wrong.

To what end?
If someone sins by doing harm to another I believe we are instructed to stand in their way, but if someone wants to sin and do harm to themselves it’s our responsibility to perhaps warn them by sharing the Word of God, but if they reject it, walk away, and leave them to their own devises. That’s scriptural. We aren’t supposed to be silent, but in the end, it’s their choice, as it is ours to heed the Word of God or not to our own peril as people with a free will according to God who wants us to serve Him from our heart rather than by force.
I think people need to take scripture in its entirety. You have to read all of scripture and in context to get a full understanding of what is being said and the meaning of it, not just singular scriptures and verses without thought to what is said directly prior to or afterwards, audience, intent, or supporting scriptures. There are plenty of people cherry picking scripture and making entire doctrines out of it that are not necessarily in keeping with God’s word on a whole. These name it and claim it, and prosperity word of faith charlatans do this all the time, and people with itching ears and their own desires being paramount rather than the real will of God flock to them and buy into it because of that.

I'm o.k. with that as long as we also don't stand in the way of rapists, thieves, murderers, kidnappers, slavemasters, or anyone else who would do harm to another person under your theory of just letting God sort it out.
No?
Then I guess you've fallen for the modern framing of abortion. People who oppose it oppose it because at the end of each and every one is a dead human being. It's not a "victimless crime" that people object to just because it is a sin. It's not like prostitution or porn (and even those are not victimless crimes, but for the sake of this discussion).

He's following scripture, all right.
Just not God's scripture.

Also, as far as the current narrative of, "Politicians just want us arguing about this frivolous stuff that doesn't matter so we won't notice the real stuff they want to do," I can't understand how someone arrives at the conclusion that killing millions of human beings is a frivolous, manufactured, distraction issue.
It takes one hell of a selfish, narcissistic viewpoint to get to that place IMO.

Again, this framing that people oppose legal abortion due to it being a sin is pretty disingenuous.
Posted on 8/28/24 at 9:43 am to Timeoday
You didn't answer.
You cool with letting God sort everything out in the end? Hands off on stopping thieves, murderers, etc.?
If not, what makes this one thing different?

Why be so undelightful? Is your glass house mortgage unbearable? If the debt is forgiven in 7 years, how much more time do you have?

It's awful early to be drunk, no matter what time zone you're in.
