You are not supposed to judge and you did

October 4, 2012

Question: In regards to “Can a girl get pregnant before her first period?” I really want to say that by reading this, you can no more tell if this is the person who may have sinned or someone who is uneducated and has a child who has been sinned against. Just as it is written,…

When is the time to make a righteous judgment versus a wrongful personal judgment?

September 12, 2012

Question: I have the hardest time separating righteous judgment versus personal. Not verbally but in my mind. Maybe it’s from growing up in the times that make it a struggle. I’m working on it. But what about those of the world? For instance homosexuals. Yes, we love them, but must we voice and say it’s…

The father of my daughter has a thing for young girls. Did I make the right decision to keep him away from my daughter?

July 2, 2012

Question: Hello, I was recently in a relationship with a woman who is married. We never had sex, or at least what I consider to be sex. All we did was masturbate together. Have I committed adultery? I have another question as well: I have a daughter. I am 17 but the father is a…

You should be offering a forgiving hand to sinners instead of just throwing Scripture at them

May 2, 2012

Question: Regarding your website, especially your article, really upset me. You are no greater than I. I am not greater than you. We are both servants who should be humbled by the grace of God not acting like the mighty priests who exalt themselves in the Old Testament. You should be offering a forgiving hand…

It is a horror when one ceases to allow the Bible to judge him and instead judges the Bible

April 8, 2012

Question: Hi, I was just reading about the supposed Book of Jasher on your website. Until recently I did not believe in the 100% accuracy and inerrancy of the Bible, and I was dangerously close to falling into heretical doctrines. The Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses are two of the sects that were beginning to look more…

I think you spend too much time going over questions of conscience and opinion and never get to the preaching of the Gospel

March 27, 2012

Question: I really think you brothers spend too much time going back and forth over questions concerning conscience and opinion and never get to the preaching of the Gospel of Christ. I think that this only keeps those who are sinners from wanting anything to do with the church those things can’t save. What do…

Is it right to say “Rest in Peace” in regard to a known sinner?

March 10, 2012

Question: I would like to ask a question regarding a statement left by many of my friends, as well as my Christian brothers and sisters in Christ. The statement is “Rest in Peace” to Whitney Houston. I know according to the Bible that no one is in Heaven yet. We all go to Hades either…

You should be spreading the joys of Christian living rather than taking excerpts from the Bible

September 20, 2011

Question: Your web site is filled with messages of hate and judgment. Your ministry should focus on love and spreading the joys of Christian living rather than taking excerpts from the translated Bible as a rule book for life. Spread love, not hate! Note: I find it interesting that I received both a letter in…

Who are you to judge Catholics?

June 2, 2011

Question: I read your page about Catholics; who are you to judge? I think if your heart is into preaching this much maybe you should reach for the lost or non-believers or even possibly people that attend church regularly but believe they are saved for that mere fact. Answer: A classic response: In telling me not…

Judging with Righteous Judgment

April 25, 2011

by Steven Harper The world’s favorite Bible passage must surely be Matthew 7:1, where Jesus said, “Judge not, that you be not judged.” This verse is most often cited when someone points out a sin in the life of another and the accused one is then quick to reveal the depths of their Bible knowledge by…
