Re: God judges no one. And neither does Jesus.

"That isn't judging Christians, it is a simple observation."
--------------------------------------

This is just splitting hairs. IT IS TRUE that observation is more objective than "judging" (at least it's INTENDED to be), but our FREE WILL not to evaluate other people and be the deciders of their spiritual status must include only PASSIVE observation. Attempting to justify a BAD ATTITUDE against your fellow human being is a shameless act, splitting hairs to do it is like scraping the bottom of the bucket.

I haven't noticed anybody taking offense at anything (or claiming to have a reason) enough to claim that THEY have been attacked (ONLY the victim, if in fact, there is one, should DECIDE whether they have been attacked). People like to suggest and encourage others to FEEL offended in order to create controversy and disrupt peace and harmony. This is also done because they have insecurities about the rationality of their own spiritual beliefs and their behavior towards others. There is a difference between enthusiastic (emotional) disagreement and [AGGRESSIVE] attack against a human being (distinction, if you judge, judge rightly). An atmosphere of chaos and uncertainty serves "error" well and is necessary for "error" to occur.

The only distinction that should be made between God and Jesus is that Jesus was sent by The Father to be crucufied in order to purify our souls (many will have theological and scientific explanations to contradict that).

Any objection to the concept of SALVATION is certainly not a Christian one. Hebrews 9:14 explains that salvation means that our soul will be purified ("As the outcome of your faith,...", 1 Peter 1:9) if we also have our conscience purified by tailoring our behavior according to the dictates of conscience. We will develop this ability by choosing to be good students of God's spirit.
