Description
None of us are perfect. Sometimes we forget that when we judge others. Be honest, you've made bad decisions and mistakes. We all have flaws. So why judge others so harshy? Forgive others not because they deserve it, but because they need it. We all need less judgement and more forgiveness. So spread love and help to make this world a little better for everyone, including yourself. Because sometimes the person you need to forgive is yourself.Quotes from Christ:
"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." (Matthew 6:14-15)
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." (Matthew 7:1-5)

I feel like some people are too focused on judging other people rather than knowing that they themselves are imperfect. I understand to forgive others and I agree with what you say, this is wonderful!

Thank you! And I hope more people can learn to be less judgmental and more open and understanding toward others.

Exactly, even I myself can struggle with judgement and understanding. Maybe it is because sometimes I could see their interior motives and inference them as hurtful and negative because of the overwhelming awareness I have about them, that I could maybe have doubts about them. But I am trying my best to not be too judgemena.

Was that...really the best example he could've come up with? Like... a sliver or stick I could get, but a PLANK? Guess the dude was that blind to his own hypocrisy but... seriously, a plank??? Ancient people were weird.

He was using the absolute biggest contrast, which is a speck vs a log, because apparently that's how bad people's hypocrisy can get. I know sometimes people can be ridiculous with their judgment, like condemning someone for some minor thing while they lie, cheat and abuse people regularly. I wish people weren't like that and would take time to get to know others before making judgments.

It's true! I have to remind myself every time I encounter a mean person that they might have struggles I don't even know about...sometimes even struggles we both share and can relate to!

Yes, that's a very good thing to remember. Also, thank you for commenting! You had comments disabled on your Freedom Wins artwork, so I couldn't say this there, but what you said helped inspire something I am working on that I hope can bring some understanding between LGBT people and Christians, so thank you.

Yeah, it's really unpopular being a Christian nowadays, especially on the internet where people can be anything they want but choose to be stupid. That's why I disabled comments. That's so cool my work actually inspired someone, that's what I was going for. I don't believe in posting or saying things to get people mad because that never will make anyone understand anything I have to say.

I think that part of this animosity against Christians is really just misunderstanding. I certainly don't believe non-Christian LGBT people are beyond hope. I wanted to address the fact that many LGBT people think Christians hate them by writing in a way they'd relate to that would help them be more understanding toward Christians and, possibly, even create a more open dialogue and openness to the Christian message. I'd also like constructive feedback if at all possible. Here's the link in case it's helpful: rogue-ranger.deviantart.com/ar… . Again, thank you!
