So my friend and I are walking out of physics class today and going to the student union to have lunch, when we see this guy standing in front of the building, holding a big sign that reads, "YOU DESERVE HELL." (Now I wish I had taken a picture of this guy so you could see exactly what we were seeing.) And not only was he holding up this sign, but he was pointing and yelling at everyone who passed by, including my friend and I.

The first thing I thought when I saw his sign, was: Well, um...how.....encouraging.
I mean, I'm a Christian, and I know I'm a sinner. There have been countless times that I've done wrongful things, or failed to do good things. And maybe I do deserve hell, but that doesn't mean this guy has a right to tell me so.
To judge.
To condemn.
To do this to ANYONE. You, me, anybody.

That's not his job, that's God's job. And if God decides that I deserve that, then okay. Because only He has the right to do that.

In John 8:3-11 in the Bible, it says,
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

"No one, sir," she said.

"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

Jesus Himself said, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." In other words, that guy has no place to judge.
God is the Judge.

If you're still reading, I'm sorry for ranting. It just really irks me, aggravates me, deeply troubles me...when people do things like that.
It makes me really sad, too. Like I don't even know why, I feel like crying now when I think of that scene earlier today. It's just awful.

And as much as his actions got under my skin, I feel like...I don't know....like I should pray for him.
I don't know...tell me what you think of this. And truly, thanks so much for listening. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.
