When Christians
point out immoral behavior we are often told that we shouldn't judge and to
point out their immorality isn't very loving.
I have often pointed out that it actually is very loving. How else will people know to change.
I would like to
offer these verses to back up my belief.
Ezekiel 33:7-9(NKJV)
“So you, son of man:
I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a
word from My mouth and warn them for Me.
When I say to the wicked, ‘O
wicked man, you
shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that
wicked man shall
die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.
Nevertheless if you warn the
wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in
his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
Seems to me God is
saying we have a responsibility to speak the truth. If we don't speak up then their blood is on
our hands. If we do speak up and they
continue in their ways, then their blood is on their own hands and we have
fulfilled our obligation. We are good to
go.
