That is it.
So this high horse folks want to ride about not letting outward appearance sway their opinion of a person's spirituality is pretty much hot air.
And anybody that thinks observable behaviors don't tell a lot about the state of a person's soul is simply ignorant.
We just differ about what behaviors are acceptable for a Christian.
Debate those things till the cows come home, but don't climb up on your fence post and crow about how you don't let outward appearance cause you to make judgments.
That is a laugh.
(BTW, this wasn't directed at you personally, PO. I get amused at the enlightened ones who claim to only look upon the heart.) |
Behavior does not equal appearance. And it is absolutely human nature to judge by appearances. I think we have all been guilty of that.
