All due respect, that’s God’s call to make, not yours. None of us is worthy of His Grace, we’re all descendants of the wicked and our salvation is in Jesus’ sacrifice for us. I fall on my face and pray before God in Jesus’ name because I know how messed up I am and we all are. Accept those who praise Him as you would want Him to accept you.

That said, I can be very unforgiving in earthly matters and I understand how easy it is to judge. I catch myself doing it all the time, LOL, but when it comes to the very real relationship God seeks with us and when I see someone at least trying to be Christ-like, I try to be their cheerleader.

Another consideration- she has an insider’s insight into the complex world of sex trade. She can be an amazing resource for getting people out of it.

TexasPatriot927 — I could not agree with you more! Personally, I have no room to judge anyone. I’ve sinned so much today it’s not even funny. I spoke ill of so many people today (mainly celebrities who I do not know and relatives who irritate me) that it’s truly appalling. I even ate meat lasagna on this very Good Friday. Pathetic. I’m always asking God for forgiveness. Well, with that said, Happy Easter to you and yours!

I'll give you a big AMEN to that. It's very hard to sit back and keep my mouth shut. We have a duty to fight the bad. I read a story on Jenna Jameson- only God knows her heart, but she seems sincere. If she's put those demons behind her and is now saved, man, that's just a great testimony to Him!

There's plenty of evil to fight, both metaphorically and in reality. Stay ready!

What is your definition of judgement?

I don't have my own definition of judgment. It's a definition, not an opinion. The definition is the evaluation of facts to make a decision; adjudication. Unfortunately, judgment is often corrupted by myriad factors.

I just wish I could rid myself of all bias, prejudice and preconceived notion and be more Christ-like, but I also understand that, kept in check, things like bias, prejudice and preconceived notions are defense mechanisms. Living in the world and living in a way that perfectly serves God hasn't been something I've been able to master.
