A Letter to My Pastor

Pastor, how does one stand for God without being "judgmental?" i was shunned by a Christian group (not of The Rock) because i didn't fit their mold of "judge not that ye be not judged" i explained that verse 2 exists and how this verse tells us not to be hypocrites and to hold ourselves to a standard above our words and actions to reflect God as we are light and salt

in addition Apostle Paul tells us to call out sin lest we all fall.. and to be accountable to one another as one body

i asked how is there a chance in being hypocrites without judging? if there is a wrong way, there is a right way in judging.

judging is being able to differentiate evil from good, what is obscene and what isn't...what is perverse and what is not.

needless to say, they formed a "Nonjudgmental Christian group" and the founder denied me access. Petty yes I know. I was at church today and I strive to live blameless in the eyes of God and people and God has been amazing. I have never been rude... i am always positive and i am always sure to side with them on something before i express where i stand and only when asked... but it appears that i am judgmental. Do i just dust off my feet and go elsewhere and be as an eagle and rise above these clouds?

My life vision is to use my spiritual gifts and enthusiasm (Greek for God-within) to glorify God and bring heaven down to earth so that all may know that there is an infinite God that unleashes the potential in each of us for the greater good.
