GUEST,Guess Who? BS: 911 & The Sport of God (Moyers speech) (71* d) RE: BS: 911 & The Sport of God (Moyers speech) 12 Sep 05


"Loving does not turn off one's ability to judge."

You misunderstand the use of the word in that context, John Hardly. When it is said that God does not judge, it simply means that God does not judge the intrinsic worth of human beings.

To judge their actions, however, is appropriate. To judge people's intrinsic worth is not. Their actions may be destructive. If so, then judge it so, and deal with it appropriately. But do not judge the intrinsic worth of a human soul, because you are not equipped to do that, nor is anyone equipped to do it.

We can certainly all judge actions, behaviours, and situations, and decide on appropriate responses. We cannot judge human souls themselves, nor do we have the right to condemn or damn them.

That is why Love does not cast judgment on a human soul. Love is entirely capable of casting judgement on a wrongful action by a human. Love is fully capable of enforcing law and disciplining lawbreakers. No problem. That is a responsibility of Love.
