Can we and should we as Christians judge the ungodly politicians in Washington D.C.?
Jesus is mercy but Jesus is also judge. There was judgement in the New Testament ie., Ananias and Saphira. So do we let our country go to hell or do we judge?
Don't need to be a christian to judge the a-holes in Washington. They include both christians and the so-called "ungodly".
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment that you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." ~ Matthew 7.1-5
M't:5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
M'r:13:19: For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
M't:24:21: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Jesus commanded us not to judge anyone. We are to pray for our leaders, that God will guide them in their appointment. Please read my Hub The Christian's Attitude Toward Secular Leadership which goes into greater detail, and if you want to, leave a comment.

From what I've read in the bible, we are to identify wrong behaviours and speak up but we are not to play judge because that makes us prideful and reluctant to take the beam out of our own eye. Many Christians insist that it is their duty to judge and they end up judging everyone about everything....

Why are so many "Christians" the fist to judge others, when the Bible tells us not to?Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:"

How is it fair to judge one group by the actions of a few, but not others?For example, there have been Christian people here who paint all atheists the same. they point to the few who put up hateful billboards and say that is an example of how atheists are. We aren't and I find those signs...

Own expensive cars and homes.2. Give little to charity.3. Rarely donate their time4. Look down their noses at...

Why do people feel that they have a God given right to judge others?In my experience reading alot of the answers around christianity, I have found that the very people who profess to be christians are casting the first stone. Not everyone. But I have to honestly say the majority from what I've...
