Are you going to hell too? Or has god told you who is a better person. You are doing a good bit of sin flaunting yourself at this very moment by casting judgment.
If I thought you actually wanted to know, I would get into this topic with you in the shack. I don't think you actually want to know, you are trying to be mocking, BUT for the sake of truth, and so what you just said doesn't get to stand unanswered, I'll tell you what the Bible says.
Romans 3:9-28
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.So the point then is, I'm not any better than anyone else. The only thing that separates me from an unbeliever is that, they are unbelievers.
Believers are justified by grace through faith, and that (faith) not of themselves lest any man should boast. Unbelievers are still condemned under the law, because they have not appropriated the free gift of GOD's grace and mercy for themselves.
Also, as for the not judging thing (the only verse in the Bible every non-Christian knows LOL!) what you are quoting there is taken out of context, and MUST be balanced by the fact that we are COMMANDED to use discernment between right and wrong, and to KNOW good from evil. Yes, it's true that, I am commanded NOT to judge men's hearts. Only GOD knows what is truly in a man's heart.
I am also COMMANDED to know the truth, and to judge a man by his actions.
You are confusing that verse fro what it really means in context, and in the whole counsel of the Word.
