Your opinions please - when I say * is not a Christian
Advertisements [?]
Is that judging him? Also, is that judging the people who voted for him? Someone challenged my statement on DU that "* and his ilk are not Christians." He said that it made him sick and he didn't want to read any more of my posts. (He is not a DUer - just reads my posts. Long story)

The person who said that is a repub and voted for * twice.

Am I judging * and his followers by pointing out that he does not follow the teachings of Christ and, therefore is not a Christian? Or am I allowed, by Biblical teachings, to point out a false Christian, a Pharasee, when I see one?

I am truly upset because I really do try not to judge what's in a person's heart because I believe that only God knows what is in our hearts. I do think, however, when you live your life publically in a way that is so opposite of Christ's teachings that anyone can plainly see (and point out) that the person is not a Christian as they claim to be.

Opinions on this?
