Well, make no mistake. Those who have compromised the gospel make judgments all the time. In the same breath as saying, “Do not judge...” They judge themselves to be righteous as they condemn those who proclaim the gospel in its fullness.

I just saw the other day on Twitter, a young lady who professed that her god is a god of love and mercy. She has no place for a God of judgment, sin, or hell. You simply cannot have love without justice.

St. Augustine wrote, “If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.”

Amen to this reflection. Jesus said "hate the sin but love the sinner"". That says it all. In today'culture, liberals think it means if you love the sinner you must love the sin. Conservatives think that if you hate the sin, you must hate the sinner! No one seems to get what Jesus' means. Yet Jesus' words are very plain and simple, and should be easy to understand. Mr Fesseden has explained it well!
