I haven't a clue as to what the terrorists are planning but I know this much, it's not in our best interests that's for sure!

As for Jill Carroll I'm happy she's free. Too few kidnapped people end up okay in the end.

Christians can and should judge:

JUDGE NOT!!!!!
This is clearly one of the most abused texts in the Bible, especially by the
homosexual community. When one person sees something not right, another
will respond, "Judge not that you be not judged!" In too many cases, "judge
not" is a cop out and avoiding the issue.

Is this really what Jesus was teaching, though? Jesus is the one who called
the Pharisees, son of hell, fools, blind guides, white washed tombs,
serpents, brood of vipers, and murderers. What about when he kicked the
people out of the temple who had made it into a supermarket?

We are called to follow in Jesus footsteps in Ephesians 5:11. Paul says,
"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but, rather,
REPROVE them".

#1 The Scriptures REQUIRE Righteous Judgement "Judge not according to
the appearance, but judge righteous judgement", Jesus taught in John
7:24) Jesus didn't simply allow judgment, he required it!

#2 There are many instances of justified judgement seen in the Scriptures.
Lydia asked Paul to judge her to determine her faithfulness (Acts 16:15)
Paul did not say, "Lydia, we must not judge!" Paul urged the Christians at
Rome to judge (Romans 2:27). Paul himself rendered judgement in the case
of the fornicator being in sin and encouraged the church at Corinth to do
the same. (I Cor 5:3,12) (judge is used here in accessing the facts and
rendering condemnation) Christians are commanded to judge in cases of
alleged abuses and mistreatments of one another (I Cor 6:1-6) Keep in
mind, however, that judgement is righteous judgement. The facts in a given
situation must be known and the correct standard must be used - God's
Word (Jn 7:24,7:14-23, 12:48.

What about James 5:19-20? "Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from
the truth and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a
sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a
mulititude of sins."

WHEN WE MUST NOT JUDGE - Just as the Scriptures require the proper
judgement, the scriptures condemn the wrong judgement. For instance, we
must not judge simply "according to appearance" (Jn 7:24). It may have
appeared that Jesus was violating the sabbath day law, but in reality he
was not (Jn 7:14-24). We are not to judge if we are just as guilty as those
whom we are judging (Romans 2:1-3, 19-24). Jesus condemned judgement
when the ones judging are worse than the ones being judged. (Matthew
7:1-5) We are to remove all hindrances that might block are judgement,
then, we are to judge! Moreover, we are to avoid judgement in areas that
involve non-sinful liberty and carnal standards (Romans 14:2-6, 10, 13)

The truth of the matter is, not only are we to judge, we are supposed to
judge to please God (2nd John 9-11, Ephesians 5:10-11). However, we
must make sure our judgement is righteous judgement, and be careful in the
manner in which we proceed. There are certainly manners and ways where
we shouldn't judge, but that does not mean we never should, especially
relating to those inside the church.
