"Worldliness, as we have seen, is that set of practices in a society, its values and ways of looking at life, that make sin look normal and righteousness look strange."

~David Wells, [i:dbfa34a407]God in the Wasteland[/i:dbfa34a407]

I think the question is…who on Earth decides what is worldly and what is not. Who on Earth decides who is righteous and who isn’t. And which one of has the right to judge either…

I understand it was just a quote but I had to reply to it.

According to the worldly perspective, the only person who decides right from wrong is the prince of this world.

As to the right to judge, none but God, who has spoken concerning right and wrong, even written it on our hearts (which we’re dumb at reading). But if God has spoken, don’t we have the obligation to judge accordingly?

"Judge not lest you be judged"…which is in Matthew and seems to fit appropriately here. God says we will all have our reckoning on Judgement Day. I figure until then I definetly have no right to judge anyone else unless I want others to sit in judgement of me. Which I’m sure plenty do, but I try not to return the favor lol. Not that I’m perfect, none of us are. But I do try hard not to sit in judgement of someone else since I have no room to talk. Although I done find a fine line between judgement and justice. It’s not like we can let murderers and rapists run around unaccountable or anything of the sort. So I guess it’s all a matter of knowing where that line is.
