5.5 million kids under 5 die globally each year, half from very preventable causes. That is down from 20 milllion in 1960. Jimmy Carter made it basically his life’s work to continue to shrink that number. What do you do?

Judging by your posts calling the 9/11 terrorists and the guy last night in New Orleans “brave”,

I never did, and you cannot post a link showing otherwise. What I said, which is obvious to anyone clearheaded, is that the acts themselves are not ipso facto evidence of cowardice. That is completely different from saying they are brave, though they might be. Particularly the 9/11 guys. I’d bet most of those guys were extremely courageous. The New Orleans guy seemed like a suicidal nutjob. I read that his first plan was to invite his family to a celebration and kill them all.

You don’t speak for God.
I know you think you do, but you don’t. No more than the Pope does.

You don’t know what someone believes and if you’re trying to put someone in heaven or hell, based upon their behavior or political positions, then there is no need to even having a discussion with you.

No question this is wrong according to God's word

Not your place to judge

Having these positions is not in accordance with Christianity, but it doesn't make him "bad". Advocating for foreign nations over the USA does!

Judge not, lest you be judged.

Yeah I can yank a scripture out oi context and make it say about what I want to make it say as well.

In context, clearly the Bible states we CAN absolutely judge the actions of someone just as we can see the fruits of a tree to know what it is. The part of being non-judgmental is referring to the eternal salvation of someone. That's God's call. Otherwise can can indeed assemble a discernment of where one stands and whether they are acting in a Christian manner by how they conduct themselves and what ideology they espouse.

In the very same chapter of Matthew it states "By their fruit you will recognize them” (verses 15–16)" as it relates to discerning false prophets...we do need to use good judgment based on the actions of others. Just tossing out this out of context admonition of "Don't judge!" can be dangerous, myopic, and intellectually lazy.

It’s fairly well known in south GA that the Carters operated a satanic cult.

You can be supportive, even fervently supportive of leaders and that has nothing to do with worship...nice false premise there but you go ahead and live in your fantasy world bro!

Maybe the most misinterpreted and misapplied verse in the Bible.

My Bible reads like we are in fact supposed to address the splinter in the eye of our friend, especially if they are a fellow Christian. Once we have removed the beam in our own eye, it is our duty to help our friend with his splinter. How are we to do that, if we cannot judge anything? How do we find fault in a murderer, a rapist, an abuser, if we cannot judge those actions and behaviors?

Truth!

Well stated...

As believers we MUST factor in what I call the 3 C rule when addressing an individual scripture...it must fit in Context...in Consistency...and in the Customs of when it was written. That raw usage of Matthew 7:1 violates at least 2 of the 3 I mentioned.

I believe the definition is "Christ Like".

Certainly all of us sin, We should ask for forgiveness and try to improve our daily life,

Verbally repeating or encouraging bad behavior, IMO, is not Christ Like.

No need for that. We lionize our heroes and our enemies lionize theirs. And Mohamed Atta has one of the highest places in the hagiography of Islam.

Everyone sins to varying degrees. If they sin, are they no longer considered a "Christian"?

It is not my job to judge others. At the end of it all, you can be Christian and believe in Jesus, and be pro-choice.
