What does the Bible mean that we are not to judge others?

Fundamentalists telling someone to go to hell means they are angry enough that they want people to go to a place of eternal torment - they believe that place should and does exist - so those words are pretty angry. They are angry with people for not believing the angry parts are the best parts to focus on, and want people punished eternally for that?

The Westboro Baptists are an angry judgmental sect, and unsafe and PG13 sound like them today - more than usual.

I didn’t tell anybody to go to hell. I was paraphrasing parables
 
I think they are both angry because they realize that if they can judge us, we might also be judging them. I think bb might have left us. He appears to be absent.

It's not that we "just realize it". You know how some Christians are drawn to the "be afraid" narrative? Others of us are totally drawn to the "fear not" narrative. I can be very alone, and very lonely, and very down (like most of us, I have demographic and life challenges). My church family tries to alleviate that; many of them "know me" very deeply. So my foundation of Christianity is not fear but family.

The wyrd thing is that Christianity often means the same thing to evangelicals - family/love, not fear. Hell-free evangelicals do exist...they just tune out that bit.

This is righteous judgment ---and comes from God's word which according to scripture is sharper than any 2 edge sword -----so if you have a problem with His righteous judgment here --talk to him not me ------I just believe what God inspired to be written in His Book called The Bible -----

The way I see it @unsafe, we have a choice to either be judgemental towards others or we can seek to reconcile, restore and renew others by loving them enough and realizing we all need reconciliation and love for something.
Judging others rarely causes change, but love does.
 
unsafe, you understand that I think your beliefs are stupid. But in all seriousness, do you see the damage you do to them?

If we assume they are valid, and that's a massive assumption, but I'm willing to run with it. If we assume they are valid, the way you are trying to promote them is the worst way possible. If the message you have can save mankind from the judgment of a petty God, what you are doing is driving people away from that message. You are *terrible* at this. Your images are a source of comedy, not fear. No one is motivated by you to do anything but laugh.

If God wants what you're trying to convince us of, God must absolutely hate you. You are driving people away from God. That is not a stretch. Not at all. You truly suck at convincing people of the validity of your message.

If you think I'm wrong, then who here have you convinced? Don't bother answering me. Just consider for yourself. How many people in real life have adopted your beliefs because of you? n mmn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn v vb 7 mbhmbn h mm m 7jmn 67tbyyyyyyyyyyyym cSABG I

I think what happened with the text at the end is the post was written but not sent, and my 3-yesr,-old son started bashing the keys and eventually posted it.

He is impossible, but his spelling is approaching born-again levels.

Given time he will learn to start listening and looking at himself. It is nothing to those that don;t even begin ... serenity rule ... listen to the silence ... thank great powers for a time to rest apart from crazed humanity! Religious fugues may take over ...

Then you know who blew it ...

Unsafe, you really need to consider your images. Do feel free to message council members for pre-approval of images. Bibles carved into the shape of handguns would not normally fit into a range of accepted images.

Agreeing completely that the image is not acceptable. I also think it represents a serious misread of Ephesians 6.

When Paul crafted his letter to the Ephesians, there was, of course, no King James Version of the Bible. Whatever he meant by the "word of God" it most certainly was not the KJV as we know it today. The word of God is said to be "the sword of the Spirit" but does this counsel violence? I don't think so. Paul is speaking metaphorically about resisting the powers of evil.

Years ago, I heard a sermon about the whole armor of God. The focus was on armor as a defense. Aside from the one mention of the sword, the text gives us the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness and shoes for our feet that will make us ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.

To illustrate this as a bible turned into a gun boggles my mind. As often happens, unsafe and I differ in our interpretations of scripture.
