"Who are YOU to JUDGE?" Refuted 

I just went into the comments to say the same thing. I’m trying to listen to this, but it’s extremely distracting.

No

Yeah what's with this crazy background music??? It sounds like an Atari game.

💯 agree. so annoying on almost any video

So thankful he did keep it up. 7 years of blessing so many people with his ministry, since your comment. That's amazing!

I didn’t notice the music at all but we all hear and learn differently. If it was a message on biology the music would have been distracting for me lol

For me I just found the music distracting so I had to turn the sound off and put on subtitles... even though it's computer generated subtitles and sometimes incorrect. This is the first time I've heard music in the background from Mike. Hopefully the last time... 🤫

Don't judge 😆@@cherylcogan3542 🤪 (not seriously said)

The scriptures do that

That’s different than judging an action. You don’t actually know what’s in their heart, only God does. And whether or not they’ve accepted Christ as their Savior.

I addressed that passage in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l2q3fql-BlY.html It's all about the Bible and slavery.

It's simple: that is a casuistic law (see the key word IF) If should it happen - not that it is accepted just because it is addressed Eg if you speed, you will get fined. That doesn't mean you can speed as long as you are willing to pay the fine or that speeding is legal. Also this isn't the slavery your thinking of; "slavery" was part of their everyday lives as cars are part of ours.

I will try to answer this for you! We judge by God's righteous judgment. We can't be a child of God and support anything that God is against. Jesus loves us but he doesn't condone our sins!😊🌅

Amen to that brother

What verse?

Hi there Richard, I'll do my best to address your comment. Here's the problem. We all live in a sinful world and we are sinners by our very nature. We are sinners by nature because when Adam disobeyed God and fell, he was the representative of the entire human race. see Romans 5:12-14 for reference. None of us were ever asked if we wanted Adam as our representative. None of us ever asked to be born. None of us asked for this sinful and rebellious nature, but that's the way it is. Think about what you've posted, but instead replace "gay" with "hateful" or maybe "covetous". Whether we are hateful, covetous, liars or sexually immoral we are all of these things by our nature but that is no excuse for what we do. When we break God's Law we will be condemned justly unless we turn to Christ Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. We must ALL deny ourselves and reject who we are if we are to faithfully serve Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 shows us that when God saves them he transforms them. When we are saved we are taken from a condition of spiritual life to spiritual death (Ephesians 2:1), God takes out our old heart of stone which hated Him, and gives us a new heart of flesh which loves Him and loves obeying Him (Ezekiel 36:26). This is a SUPERNATURAL work of God Himself, "conversion therapy" is mankind's failed attempt to do in the flesh what only God can do in Spirit. Are some Christians guilty of showing a lack of compassion towards homosexuals? Yes. Are some Christians guilty of encouraging homosexuals to live in unrepentant sin? Yes. Should her church membership be revoked for coming out as gay? If she was repentant and looking for help in dealing with her sin, then no that was a terrible thing to do. If she was unrepentant then revoking membership was the correct thing do to. Unrepentant sinners are not to be tolerated within the church, whether they are sexually immoral, thieves or gossips if they refuse to repent they are showing themselves to be false converts who do not follow Christ Jesus. Again, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 makes it absolutely clear that openly gay people have no place in God's Kingdom, their place shall be in the lake of fire. The good news is that if they will turn from their sin and turn to Christ Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, they will be welcomed into God's Kingdom for eternity and will never be cast out. On a personal note, your created playlists are available for public viewing. I'm not sure why you're watching videos of young women talking about their masturbation habits, but I strongly advise you to abstain from them. I know that I'm not immune to the sins of sexual immorality, but I certainly wouldn't want to make those sins public. I know my comment has been long, but I hope it has edified you. God bless.

@@CC-ee7bj Thanks Mike for your reply! I appreciate that you took the time and as embarrassing as it is to admit, I am guilty of watching things that I probably shouldn't. Please pray for me! Thanks again!

wow! Great discourse guys! Praise be to God who gives us the TRUTH and Spirit by which these matters are addressed in and by us, His Body of Christ! Just beautiful exchange guys! Thanks.

@Randy Van Horn just because you "believe" in something doesn't mean it IS true. They don't believe in it, so if you're trying to make a case to convince them against what they're doing, do it with something that they already accept as true. It's like when a Muslim tries to say that eating pork is haram and Christians shouldn't do it cuz it says so in the Quran. Now, would you take that seriously? You also haven't given a reason as to why it's a sin but consenting heterosexual intercource isn't. They don't need a savior. You haven't demonstrated that there even is a hellfire to be saved from. He's judging 2 consenting adults for doing something which causes no harm. That judgment isn't justified, so any judgment against that unjustified judgment will be justified. You see?

Do not judge outsiders. Paul said it. Use it against Christians when they judge non Christians.

@@turksungerbob728 It does cause harm, just because you're ignorant to that fact doesn't mean that the fact is not the case. There is objective reality. But is also the case that Christians are supposed to be more concerned about helping people see the truth of Christ. Sin should be called out as such, but you are right that calling out unbelievers for their sin isn't all that useful or effective. Also your idea of what makes a judgment justified has no logical consistency or ground to stand on.

@@vibeauxssxuaebiv3489 what harm does it cause

As I've reflected on this comment months later, I've decided to retract a portion of it. More specifically, I've focused on the "in a way that causes shame" and the "intelligence, character,... or preferences" parts of the definition of the word "judgement". I don't think doing that and making them feel ashamed in the process is the way forward regarding rational discourse between people of differing views. So no, I am not for judging people who oppose or disagree with LGBT, going by that definition. It isn't a healthy and productive way of engaging with other people who hold conflicting ideas. I am, however, all for encouraging people in a friendly manner to question their beliefs and be skeptical of their preconceived biases/assumptions. I guess I guess didn't pay close enough attention to the definition.

So basically you are fine with any judgement, until it is against what you believe, then only your judgement is the one that we must care about not gods judgement, are you god? Also in your culture lets say i support your believes but i want to stay virgin till marriage so i will be maybe 28 years old virgin, what will happen? I will be shamed for being virgin and you know this very well, this is not judgement? why do you guys complain? lets speak about incest , do you support it? 2 twin sisters wanna marry each other, 2 twin sisters they can not have child , so would you support it? Yes or no and be honest, so incase of no , who are you to judge?

they think god's morality is absolute but they've never demonstrated this. They don't understand morality at all.

Don't believe in God? Go to space and remove the oxygen mask you will see him.

What a childish comment. I encourage you to think more carefully about these important issues rather than using this sort of mockery. It may seem cute but it’s not helping you reason it through.

Mike Winger Sweetie, these are only “important issues” in your mind. I have been gay on this Earth for nearly 50 years. When you are saying that I am not worthy of the same rights you enjoy because of your religion, there is no “reasoning” to do. And every single therapist and psychologist will tell you that people who talk about condemning homosexuals all the time typically are gay themselves. And ONE MORE TIME, the word “homosexual” was added to the Bible in 1943. Before that, God was fine with me, so...

@@hamybear Gay people have all the same rights as any other US citizen -- and then some. This isn't about stripping your political rights, it's about affirming Biblical values in the face of a culture that aggressively promotes homosexuality, transgenderism, and other deviant behaviors that "every single therapist and psychologist" used to call mental illness. The English word "homosexual" is of recent vintage but the idea is as old as Sodom. The words describing men who have sex with men have always been in the Bible in the original Greek and Hebrew, and appear in ancient Latin and Syriac translations as well.

Michael Hampton I believe you are on this channel because you know in your heart that you were handcrafted by the lord in his image, to serve him. Instead you are serving the wicked one, but you want out. Deep down, you want to know the Lord. That is why you’re here.

Michael Hampton Also, these are important issues in the mind of all Christians that truly care about serving the Lord and not the world. Mike winger is not the only Christian. Take a look at the view count. That is a small fraction of the people that recognize the importance of this issue.
