Here's a letter I received today via email.
Quote:
Dear Pastor Ezekiel;
I'm writing in response to the 'hoodie' article posted on your website. That is the biggest load of judgmental hooey I have ever read! I wear a black My Chemical Romance hoodie every single day. I also happen to be a functioning member of society who goes to work five days a week and raises an eleven year old daughter. As for My Chem being a suicide cult, perhaps you should do some factchecking, or even try listening to some of their songs. That band is actually known for inspiring people to live, and a few of their songs are the closest thing to a hymn I've heard in some time. So in closing, be sure and remember, Jesus didn't judge. You have no right to either. I appreciate your time in reading this, and hope you learn to forge your opinions through personal experience, as opposed to someones' tired witch hunt.

Dear Jasmyn;
Speaking of hooey, I wonder if you've ever read the Holy Bible. Jesus didn't judge?
Quote:
John 5:22
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.
John 5:26-27
The Father ... hath given him authority to execute judgment.
John 9:39
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world.
2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.
Revelation 19:11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

And you claim that
we shouldn't judge? Is that what God tells us in His Holy Word?
Quote:
Leviticus 19:15
In righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
1 Corinthians 2:15
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1 Corinthians 5:12-13
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1 Corinthians 6:2-3
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
1 Tim 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

Oh, and there's one more Bible verse I'd like to share with you little miss.
Quote:
I will punish ... all such as are clothed with strange apparel. -- Zephaniah 1:8

I think it's clear that you have no credibility here young lady. Next time satan tells you to write a letter to a True Christian™ Pastor, have him give you some Scriptural background before you make an even bigger fool out of yourself, OK?
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
