It is written:
Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
KJV
Matt 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
KJV
Continuously we hear & watch what is going on in the world via news, internet or phone or through gossip about so and so did this and so and so did that. We not only instantly believe & spread the gossip of everything we hear, we also begin to judge it without any facts of truth.
Then comes our own hanging as we pour out guile from our lips to judge the person whom we do not even know, nor do we know if it is truth of what he is being accused of, yet we want justice, vengeance and even death!!! For this lost sinner!
Then we slip into our prayer closet with God and say thank you oh merciful God for forgiving me of my sins, all the while with a devilish heart saying KILL HIM when it comes to others sin.
We completely loose sight of all the hideous sins of our past or that we may just did, that we hope are swept under the rug and forgotten by God.
Are we playing the devils advocate when we seek those who do wickedness in our eyes such as a terrorist or a willing killer, rapist, robber, liar to be murdered or punished instead of Saved?
These people, just as we have believed in the past or even now, believe they have a right to do these things for something unjust that has been done to them. But until the last man on earth says, I refuse to harm or cause loss to another human being, they will always come up with a good reason that they have Right to harm or cause loss.
Our place is to recognize sin when we SEE it, and keep far from being pulled into it with the lost sinner. This does not mean to keep away from them, for the sinners are who we are called to preach of the gospel of a new way of life in the kingdom of God.
We are to go in and pull him out of the fires of hell and unto our side for a saved and righteous life and peaceful way of life, Not allow his sin to woo us to do the devils bidding, which is the reaction of the fallen carnal man, which would be to wish evil and punishment upon him, pulling us over into the enemies camp fire with them to burn as well. Anger, hatred, Jealousy, Resentment, Bitterness, and the like are actions of our old man who is supposed to die, not rise up and join the (spiritual)dead among the living.
Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
KJV
When we judge others and wish ill will for them, for they Deserve IT!! Say we! Then know this, what so ever you sow, that shall you also reap! Love your neighbor as yourself, because what you make happen for them, is going to come your way. Speak only good or say nothing at all, for our words are being judged even this moment, for we shall have, what so ever we say!
I will be praying that we all repent of our evil thoughts towards others sin to receive their JUST dues for their sins that they have committed in their captivity to the devils grip of temptations. And seek for us to come out of that dark place and get back in line with the Light to do the work Jesus sent us to do. He did not tell us to sit in the seats of carnal man who are only blood thirsty with no pity for those held captive. Because he has no understanding of the spiritual things nor power of the Holy Spirit to bestow grace and mercy to teach us how to do right to save ones soul, not chanting with the fallen carnal masses for their blood to be shed.
Christians are not to return evil for evil, nor attack back when someone strikes them, for evil only begets more anger and hatred. Quench the fires of hell with good. If they resist your good, walk away and let GOD be GOD.
But we touch them not, nor wish hell upon them. Just as Jesus showed us to do. Even Stephen forgave them at his stoning. Blameless and innocent is our stance for if we do as they do, then we are still as they are.. Carnal and our beastly nature is showing our nakedness and shame and God can see it. There are enough beastly natured ones who will handle this person. Their punishment is not our business, ours is to be an ambassador for the kingdom of peace to raise them up out of the pit, not go to the pits of hell to burn them alive.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
KJV
Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
KJV

I should have made myself more clear in my OP. I am not saying that we don't recognize one in sin and bring it to the Light so they can see it themselves and consider the consequences of their actions if they keep going. I am just saying that we are not supposed to be siding with the carnal natured man to want vengeance or being unjust in our judgments of their guilt or not guilty for we do not know anything about it.
Of course to bring sin to ones attention, whom we know and love, is the first step to repentance and salvation for all people. Especially to our brethren in Christ, So they can turn from it Before they reach the point of being place in the hands of man whom are only interested in their shed blood and pain, not bringing them to or back in line with Christ & the Spirit to teach them how to change.
