I really hate judging people because I hate to be judged; pre-judged, assumed or anything that's negative.I watch how people judge groups of people, because they see and do things differently and not conform to standards---yet I bypass their way of living//thinking, and I see their spirit like I do with all people in general.
For instance, with homosexuals; some may say it's an abomination, and yes the Bible says so. In my short time here on this earth, I've met quite a few, and they have always been very 'nice' people to me; I have no idea why they are usually exceptionally nice, I tend to believe that it is their readiness to be accepted by society, though some become very reclusive because of harassment.
I have met people who people may label queer, strange but when you listen to their heart speak, a beautiful spirit lies dormant on the inside. Still yet we are quick to judge them based on our thinking pattern.
Yet, I find it hard to judge these people or anybody because I am not God. I believe in the man and woman union, it's what I prefer, it's what I grew up to believe and it's what I feel, however, there are those who have no other feelings but for the same sex. I have yet to understand it, and we are fine tuned that it is wrong, like murder is, but still I can't judge them on their lifestyle and choice, it's God's to do so.
When I look at a gay person, as I do with all people, I come with an open mind, they are compassionate, giving and loving, just like we 'normal' people are, what do I do? Should I ignore one of God's children because he/she is gay, my spirit doesn't allow it, I will not hate anyone because they are gay. Who am I to judge you?
God hates the sin but not the sinner - God knows what he creates/d, The devil has no power to create, if so, does one create themselves?. We have the power to change our minds, but do we have the power to alter God's Creation because underneath there lies His true blue print, no matter how different we appear with our external modifications and enhancements. Can I change the color of my eyes or even change my fingerprint?
There are people who were introduced to it through bad experience with an opposing sex, there are some who were led to it, and there are some who from childhood is like that; was not influenced, but is inbred in them - is it a twist of fate?
I have not the blueprints of anyone's life, not even me and only God has it and can judge their life. Some may say, if we allow them to continue that lifestyle/choice, what will become of the future generation--depopulation will occur--- but there will always be man/woman union no matter what - whether we condemn them, they will go underground and actually it has been happening for a while now, until recently others are coming out the closet.
It's their 'truth' - even though we may not like it. It's their walk and journey and their willingness to face their God for what most considers a 'great' sin..who am I to judge anyone? I don't have that power and you don't. However you have a right to dislike their lifestyle like anything else, it's your right and choice.
I remembered as a child, there was a very nice man who appeared effeminate; he did things somewhat passively, similarly to what we would expect of women, the 'gentleness' of him, probably from upbringing yet he had a strong father, or he was born like that, his genes- somethings you can never assume and many judged him all his life on the way he was; composure, and somehow he was a straight guy with a wife and kids and all his kids grew up to be men, without a trace of effeminacy.
We tend to assume people before we see their hearts - he was one of the nicest people I have met, very kind, loving, compassionate, giving and all the things mankind should possess, yet he was judge on his effeminacy - a beautiful soul on the inside was overshadowed.
This is what we do to people daily when we judge people on appearance and not their heart; on their job and not their heart; on their status and not their heart. We are 'labelers' - we label and tag people, and we are so caught up in it--live by it; those labels that determine you --or you are nobody.
I look past color, creed, class, status and I see a heart of gold; love, kindness, compassion, everything the 'normal' person possesses, I just can't judge you, I leave that for God, for while I do, I may just be sinful before His eyes in a little speck of thing I overlook that may be a sin to Him.
People don't be too quick to say you have no sin; though you may never do 'abnormal' things, or you are not 'sinning' because what you may just feel you are doing so good in one department, chances are, you may just assume it's the right things to do and you are doing, now do a recheck of your life and tell me you are not a 'sinner'. All are sinners and come short of the Glory of God--so tell me, who are you again?:)
Judge not lest ye be judged because while we are pelting large boulders at the sinner, a whole heap of fragment will chipped off it and hit you everywhere---there is no bigger sin.
I often wonder when a homosexual opens his/her mouth to praise God, does he/she not feel the joy like I feel in my heart praising God, if God was angry with us 'sinners', he'd have shut our mouths by now whenever we whisper His name.....because we are all sinners??---Be not quick to judge.
You may not like someone's clothes but is their heart their clothes?..Think about it---Let's look at it another way; your husband/wife got trapped in a dungeon for weeks, came back to you unkempt and smelly, the first thing you see is the appearance(unkempt), as the day goes by he/she cleans up and then comes the revival; the person you married lies inside and not on the surface of what you see with your eyes.
I know this is a topic the average person cares not to elaborate on because they may have closed their minds/hearts to these people and see them as 'evil' sinners - but between all their lifestyle/choice, abode real people; some who may be fighting to even understand who they really are, just like we 'normal' people have fights with our regular 'sins':)--think about it.
I hope everyone can identify who they are in the eyes of God----all God's creation...and leave the rest to God.
Let's all be kind to one another and lead each other unto the path to God, and let Him be the judge..the Ultimate Judge.
I wish you Inner Peace..
