Judging non believers.
Some fellow Christians think they have the right to judge anyone who is not a Believer but if you pay attention to all the verses regarding it you will find out that the only things we are to judge is how someone is preaching scripture and to correct a fellow believer after we first correct ourselves. Notice what paul says especially in verses 12 and 13
1 Corinthians 5 9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church[b] whom you are to judge? 13 God judges[c] those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”
So what does that mean for Gays and Lesbians Does it mean we need to become straight? No because God made us this way. It says:
“Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.” (Matthew 19:11-12)
Does this give us a license to do what we want then? No because we need to follow these commands:
Luke 10
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
…26 And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?" 27
And he answered, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." 28 And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE."…
So then how should we act and live? Try your best to be as Christ like as possible. We need to try to act better then the world. Why? So that we can lead others to Christ by example.
