Accountability vs. Judgmentalism

-Condition of the heart-God gets the glory in accountability
-"I" get glory in judgmentalism
-Accountability is forgiving
-Judgmentalism is not forgiving
-Accountability takes issue to person
-Judgmentalism spreads gossip
-Judgmentalism is natural/earthly
-Acountability is Godly. So live in Christ in order to be free from judgmentalism.
-Those who are accountable are "fools" to the world.
-Those who judge are concerned with others' image of them.

People who aren't walking with Christ WILL be offned when confronted with their own wrong-doing. Don' be surprised or discouraged. Continue to love them until their heart changes.

Accountable = Accountable to whom? Accountable to Christ! How can we hold each other accountable to Christ unless we are living in Christ!! Judgmentalism is trying to hold people acountable to Christ while we are living in sin. It is the very heart of hypocrisy! A judge is one who attempts to remove the splinter from his neighbor's eye before taking the log out of his own.

I can't help but thnk that this issue has something to do with why we are scared to confess within the church.
