I think there is a logic problem in not judging sin and sinners. If we believe sin is bad and we want to avoid it how can we not associate it with negativity? ---------- True 3gb! It seems that the only thing that is universally condemned is moralising. The problem only arises if we use human opinion as the basis for judging. Paul did not even rely on his own judgment of himself, but he looked to Jehovah as his Examiner. 1 Corinthians 4:3 Now to me it is a very trivial matter that I should be examined by YOU or by a human tribunal. Even I do not examine myself. 4 For I am not conscious of anything against myself. Yet by this I am not proved righteous, but he that examines me is Jehovah. Thus the principle is set forth that reliance cannot be put in the judgment of men as to one’s righteousness or lack of it, unless their judgment is backed up by God’s Word. The person must look into God’s Word and let it examine him. We should be eager to examine ourselves in the light of God's Word. (Hebrews 4:12) For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart.
