IN God's Word, not Paul's word....
"For what do I have to do with judging them who are outside of the church? Do you not judge them that are within? But them that are outside, God judges. Therefore, PUT AWAY FROM AMONG YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON"
He says, "I have no business judging those who are outside of the body of Christ, those who do not believe.... But those who are within...OR claim to be....I have to judge and you better too....God will deal with those outside of the church in righteousness, but we have to make every effort to keep the children of the devil out of the house of God and we have to expose them for what they are....Or else they're creep in and destroy EVERYTHING....Why? Many people choose to say that, "Well, I know there's a lot of ungodly people in the church, but God will work that out, He will save them, we should love them and not push them away, or else God can't do anything!"
Why does God's word say that wicked people will creep into the church and pervert the gospel? Because God's too weak to work it all out? No...Because God told us from the beginning to PUT AWAY FROM YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON. Why? Because a little leaven leavens the whole lump... If God allows for a wicked teacher or preacher to infiltrate a church, it is God's judgment against that people for not obeying His command...."
I want you to know that I do bring this to you in love... You say, "But you're using satire!" Read the prophets, they did the same....(Thanks for that line Paul Washer!) No, but honestly, I simply am sick and tired of seeing people using the verse Judge Not, in an incorrect manner that allows for the devil to further his work. I'm not saying that you deliberately did it because you're a child of the devil and you're trying to bring us all down, I'm just saying that you have not found the right interpretation of a verse that you're putting into action. It's a dangerous thing. I pray God would reveal to you more of the truth of His word, and that He would give you wisdom beyond measure.
In closing let me say that this was not intended to tear you down, but rather to build you up, but before you can build something up, you must first tear down that which is incorrect.
In Christ...
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be PERFECT, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
2 Timothy 3:16-17
"Preach the word; be instant in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."
2 Timothy 4:2-5
