Whereas Jesus said "look to the beam in your own eye" why is most Christian moralizing about pointing out the faults of first century Jews?

Reading this forum, I find Christian posts constantly harping on "Pharisees this" "saducees that" "Jews did the other thing"

not a one about "Reverend So-n-so" or "Preacher Thin-n-that" doing ...this or the other with the money or daughters of the flock ...or the sons for that matter

Because for xtians to b "right" they have to make everyone else "wrong."

Okay.

So here you are:
Pastor Raul Ries is one of the most poisonous pastors on radio. He sounds like the Pharisees and Sadducees when he preaches on homosexuals.

The grace faith in Christ brings is apparently only good enough for him ,but not for people who happen to trust Christ and are Gay.

How's that?

Jesus went on to say that when you take that beam from your eye, then you can help those with a speck of dust in theirs.

There is a difference between addressing the rights and wrong of a doctrine or activity

That is talking about God's truth, which we are encouraged to do

and condemning people

That is Judgment


The Pharisees had their DOCTRINE, The Sadducees had theirs

In Modern day terms


To talk against the "prosperity Gospel" is perfectly fine

to call out individuals...is judgment

Jesus meant by this that you should look at your own faults before critazising others. 😄
