Proverbs 17:15 AMPC He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both an abomination [exceedingly disgusting and hateful] to the Lord.
There are some believers who make it their life’s mission to point out the flaws in other believers, especially if they’re public figures. They’ll get together and condemn ministers, a person’s clothing, songs, a person’s parenting, a person’s shortcomings, and mistakes. Some of them have social media platforms where they have thousands of like-minded followers listening to and agreeing with the condemnation of others.
What they fail to realize is their condemnation of the righteous is an abomination to God. The same abomination they like to use for homosexuals in Leviticus 18:22, is used for anyone condemning the righteous.
When we make Jesus Christ Lord, we become the righteousness of God (Rom. 5:1). If we choose to condemn other believers for their shortcomings we’re disrespecting the sacrifice which made those believers righteous, and we’re making ourselves appear perfect as if we don’t need grace for our mistakes.
Some may say they’re protecting the body of Christ from the people they’re condemning, but if their condemnation isn’t helping the people they’re condemning, they’re being self-righteous and need to repent themselves.
Pray for anyone who is missing the mark or talk to them in love if you can, but never ever condemn.
