Hello April Carter: I understand what you are saying, however it is not those who truly preach and teach the word that judge. It is the word of God that does the judging of people. There is an old saying, Don t shoot the messenger . The word of God is for the following, 2 Timothy 3: 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: When a preacher or teacher is quoting scriptures and those scriptures happen to find a person in their sin and makes them feel uncomfortable then they should thank God that he thought enough about them to correct them and give them a chance to change. When a preacher is speaking about fornication, adultery, liars, homosexuality all these things are against God then this should make a person want to change not get angry. However, humans do not want to be told that the lifestyle they are leading is against what God wants for their lives.
