→i talked about the transgender murders, LGBTQ+ suicides and lessons in the bible: Judging others.
::Also, you misinterpreted the account of the rich young ruler -- the problem was not the inherent fact that he had a lot of money, but that those possessions were an idol to him, preventing him from surrendering to Jesus and following him. He was bound to those things and couldn't give them up to follow Christ. Nowhere, however, does it say that money or possessions are inherently bad -- the Bible says that the love of money is the root of many evils, but not money itself.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+6%3A10&version=ESV] Also, some passages appear to promote good money management, with one of Jesus's parables being about a master who rewards the servants who make the biggest profit (see [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A14-30&version=ESV Matthew 25:14–30]). Also, see this: [https://www.gotquestions.org/poor-vs-rich.html] --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 14:55, 16 May 2019 (EDT)

:::Also, you're taking a single Bible passage about judging others way out of context -- many passages of the Bible call on believers to discern between right and wrong (for example, Matthew 7:6, 15-16; John 7:24). Per John 7:24, Christians should "judge correctly," and this means they should not throw out correct doctrine in the name of postmodern "tolerance." There are two good articles explaining what the Bible says about judging others in further detail: [https://www.gotquestions.org/do-not-judge.html][https://answersingenesis.org/bible-questions/does-the-bible-tell-christians-to-judge-not/] --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 16:55, 16 May 2019 (EDT)
