Love vs Judgment


Take two people out of different backgrounds... person A believes in miracles, signs and wonders because this person also sees it on a day to day basis.  It is a reality to him/her.  Person B on the other hand does not believe in these miracles.  Now we are quick to pull out our judging cards and throw the scripture in Matthew where God said lay hands on the sick and they will recover.  In the process we cause offense and miss the entire point of love!
Romans 14:5 "One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind."
God walks a road with every individual.  None of us are the same and so God works with us individually.  That is why we cannot judge anyone since we are all on a different frequency with God.  We all sit with different ideas and perceptions based on our background and character.  Sin is when you are unsure of what you are doing... once you are absolutely convinced in your heart of what you believe it is right in God's eyes.
Paul writes this in Romans 14 as well.
Romans 14:22-23 "The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin."
Keep in mind that not every believe is Biblicaly right... and so we need to set an example to the believers to show the right way.  We never and under no circumstance have the right judge anyone!  Our faith is between us and God.  Let't start acting in love instead of offending and causing people to stumble.
