Christians are often accused of "judging" whenever they speak out against what they see as a sinful activity because of the Bible verse that say, "Do not judge." But if you read the rest of that same verse, it says not to judge hypocritically. but to "take the speck out of your own eye and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye." What Jesus was condemning here was hypocritical, self-righteous judgments of others, not that Christians shouldn't judge at all.

I agree with your post that the adults in the house need to be held legally responsible for this terrible tragedy. But I wanted to clear up a mistaken belief that a lot of Christians (and others who read these posts) have about judging.

Thank you for giving me that opportunity.
