Anon, i'm dead to the world, i live for God and Christ. But i can tell you Christ is in Christmas. One year i heard the carols beign sung at the church, it was "Oh come all ye faithful" and it was so touching, it had to have been a spiritual experience and i felt very close to Him.
If i go to someone's house for Christmas and they have a christmas tree up, and we celebrate around the understanding we are celebrating Christ's birth, we get together to be close, i'm not going to break the spiritual connection and benefit that joy and happiness brings to start talking about how bad it is for them to have a christmas tree up in their house. That, to me, would just go against the whole spiritual nature of the moment, bringing in harsh judgement for wordly decoration, where joy and love and peace should be flourishing in the spirtual.
Boy, are you in for the shock of your existence. Calling evil good is not from the Holy Spirit. Not only have you been given over to strong delusion but the Lord has nothing to do with you. You're a poser. A loser.
If you think my judgement is harsh, you're in for a bad time.
Anon i've faced way worse. But, like someone else said, it's between me and God. And just to be clear i haven't called any evil good. But remember anon judge not lest ye be judged.
Quote the entire passage, not just your preferred portion.and you'll see that motive is the issue concerning judgement and not judging in and of itself.
"Judge righteous judgement." John 7:24.
Sure, keep it between you and God. The only problem with that is that God uses men to proclaim His Judgments. Try reading the Bible every once in a while.
