Boy, I tell you people take that judgment passage way out of context.

To quote you, CodeBlue:
ALSO TO CALL ONE A HYPOCRITE AS A CHRISTIAN IS JUDGEMENT, DON'T YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE JUDGED FOR WHAT YOU JUDGE OTHERS AS.

I used "hypocrite" in my title because of what the word means not to necessarily call someone a hypocrite. But it's funny how you noted my post because I am showing an opposing view, but I noticed you didn't say anything about the post in another forum that agreed with you but also used the word hypocrite. In fact you commended the post. Anyway, maybe this will make us all shape up and get "right" when we know that if we expect certain things from one another that we should also know that others expect that very same thing from us as well.

Your other quote:
THERE IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON ACCORDING TO CHRISTIAN BELIEFS SO NO ONE IS EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT.

Please stop it. It's not even that serious. I'm definitely not perfect and I think we all know that no one is perfect. Do you plan to not correct the improper behavior or actions of your kids, friends, spouse, etc. just because "no one is expected to be perfect"? Well I know that if my siblings, spouse, family members, or future kids act up, make mistakes, mess-up, etc., even though I know that they are not "perfect", I plan to point out the wrongdoing to them and then give them some suggestions on how I think they may be able to correct it. And I would hope that they would do the same for me, even though they're not supposed to expect me to be "perfect" as you say.

But anyway, I am not judging as you say, but merely pointing out an observation. Would you rather me use the word "contradictory"? Same thing. In my opinion, referring to the Bible, to judge is to put one's self above another, which I did not do. At no time in my post did I say that if one did "contradict" themselves that they are of poor character, not worthy of heaven, or anything else. I know at times I may contradict myself on matters that are small or large. But I hope that someone points it out to me so that I can learn something and will not continue to contradict myself on that same issue again. Example (just an example): let's say I admantly expressed that I won't eat bread/grain/wheat products because I know it to be very harmful to the body, but then I added that I do like croutons in my salad, one would not be "judging" me by simply pointing out my "contradiction". Maybe I didn't realize that croutons are of that substance. Now what if no one pointed my contradiction out because they thought they'd be "judging" me as you say. Well then that just took away an opportunity for me to find out something I didn't know and possibly be very helpful to me. Or what if I did know that croutons are a bread substance and someone pointed out my "contradiction". I would just take it as a learning lesson for me to try to be consistent in what I say. Aren't we all on this Earth to help, learn from and assist one another? Well that's why I think God made Eve for Adam as well as put us all here together, as opposed to God leaving Adam to be alone.

So please don't try and start trouble or have attitude as if my post was directed towards you because that's definitely not what this post is about. And my fellow GCers know that I am not a trouble maker. You can't post something and then expect everyone to post exactly what you want to hear (or read). One only grows when they listen to others' perspectives. And that means me seeing yours and you seeing mine. Maybe not agreeing but just understanding and accepting.
