Calling out other’s sins
It is not an entirely Christian thing to do. God calls us to not judge and not condemn, to love your enemy. Yet many times one calls out others sins because it has potential to maximize profit, give high ground, make others feel less, make the one calling out the sins feel greater, worthy and justified for being on the high horse.
It obfuscates. If we highlight the problems of one man or woman, and put them on brutal display for all to see, it diverts attention to their sins, away from or own. It diverts attention in a way that makes us less required to reflect and examine, whether personally or collectively what evil we are turning up, including that which might have lead to that man or woman’s sins on display.
People are not required to be Christian. Important concepts like forgiveness, grace, love your neighbor, Golden Rule, 10 Commandments as valuable, less evil and sin as valuable. All concepts that are not required to be believed in, not required to be invested in. Yet a society that does not believe in those concepts, does not desire to inspire those concepts is consequential. Does having your sins called out, called out in a public way that leaves you brutalized inspire Christianity as valuable and less feelings of hypocrisy, inconsistency, and injustice?
Will society factor in all less than ideal truth, less than ideal comprehension, less than ideal investment in teaching others, less than ideal prevention of Villain Level Contrast (VLC) that has all been established and delivered less than ideally when determining, examining, assessing, and judging the sins of others?
Is having your sins called out sin free, or not sin free? Does it tempt judgment? Yes or No? Does it feel like Golden Rule done in a public way, a way that max profits for some, reinforcing high horses that weren’t established ideally in the first place? Yes or No?
Is someone that has had their sins called out in a public way, more or less likely to do it to others in the future? Inspiring less than ideal is consequence free or is a consequential investment in society with potential for less than ideal outcomes?
If calling out others sins will be less than ideal, will inspire less than ideal, will be less than ideally invested in (claim anyone takes time and effort required to fully comprehend, that it is wise to fully comprehend?) claim it will ideal truth and comprehension? Some people will choose to comment and assess sin as they see it less than ideally, and others will stay quiet might lead to truth and sin both never corrected or changed in ideal ways. Thus further assessment based on less than ideal truth might be unwise, thus not invested in.
Preachers, Priests, and Ministers might comment on sins in a collective way, a non personalized way. The combination might lead to feeling of someone else’s problem, their words are not really meant for me. People have potential to realize sin, yet be unable to see it in themselves, yet when they call it out against others it might open themselves to attacks from self or others.
Calling out sins of others is no tempt to judge and assess self, own sins, how one’s own actions might be influencing and inspiring evil – and that assessment and judgment might be from less than ideal comprehension, less than ideal desire to invest in real comprehension required to effectively assess or judge? We don’t always assess ourselves as insufficient capacity to judge and assess ourselves clearly. Easy to look in the mirror and say you did that wrong, yet you don’t have all the data required to make that assessment. You will know all typos in documents you didn’t read that will factor into how events play out?
Desire to be perfect might lead to desire to call out sin. If you are in a group of people and you feel like there is sin that is hurting the group, it might be seen as a stain you wish to wash out. The Bible says Be Perfect and James 4:17 knowing and not doing is sin, yet we have potential to easily forget don’t judge, don’t condemn, judgment and assessment is made from less than ideal comprehension. People that are not required to invest in ideal comprehension of evidence will deliver assessment and judgment ideally? Investment in comprehension of evidence takes time, and truthfully is not always wise, is not all temptations out.
Conditional judgment and assessment of someone is common place in our society. Desire to protect, and desire to act swiftly to protect has potential to lead to conditionals like If they call out sinA we call out sinB, if they call out sinB we call out sinA, and if we are collectively assessed to be more in the wrong, we bring in sinC, sinD, and sinE. It is more protection or less protection to dilute what sin and evil is responsible? Claim the combination will ideal comprehension – for your friends whether they are on the hot seat, or the ones that might be about to pick up stones (judge and assess less than ideally)?
Christ might not be there to stop the people with stones in 2025, to tell them “Without sin cast the first stone”. Christ’s followers might not be there. If Christ’s followers are there, will they really be ready to speak up, or will they join the band wagon appeal and be partial investors in picking up stones? Silence while others are condemning, partial investment in judgment and condemnation or not? Compliance might be required does not equate to compliance is always desirable. “Without sin cast the first stone”, Love your enemy, Love your neighbor, Golden Rule – as not required to be turned up? When your friend, family, coworker, or fellow citizen is on the hot seat, will you have been happy with the level it has been turned up and reinforced in society? Let alone if it is yourself?
Engineer that can’t call out flaws in the design? Perfection not met as let?
Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Paul a Christian, judging or not judging? Not to be the judge of that? Judging without right to judge? Or think better of Paul, speaking to Christians, no condemnation under Christ, not trying to actually judge others worthy or not worthy of heaven? “And such were some of you”, ideal Golden Rule call out other’s sins, while not reminding of your own? “And such were some of we” – less high horse or not less high horse, high horse ideally established throughout history?
10-ed the row might have in-ed ow. No historic precedent for Christ doing that?
The Bible – a book that demands perfection, that does not feel like all perfection out, and does not always feel like ideal perfection in
Might be more perfect or less perfect, I realize my interpretation and comprehension on what is and is not perfection is less than perfect, in part due to its teachings. Less desire to judge based upon less-than-ideal comprehension – there is safety and protection in that for self, friends, family, coworkers, fellow citizens, and even enemies – approximates or does not approximate (if not delivers) perfection?
Claim to know what perfection is and is not in a dynamic world that changes by the day on technology? Claiming to know what perfection is, is ideal humility? Less than ideal humility, perfection or not perfection?
On a side note, humility is synonymous with unassertiveness.
