When you say you're a Christian, what does that mean? Do you actually follow Christ or are you a Christian in name only?

The prophet Isaiah said:

In that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, “We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel; Only let us be called by your name . Take away our disgrace!"

Funny thing is that 'judgement' is too often in the eyes of the judged and not in the eyes of the one allegedly doing the judging. I have had people yell at me to stop judging them. I never said a word to them and honestly didn't know they existed until they started yelling. I have had an entire church come forward at the altar call in repentance and renewal except one person who thought I was judging. He punched me in the face as he judged me as being judgemental.

@hippyjoe1955 Do you think it's because they look at the way you are living your life and deep down, it makes them feel shame? People like to bring others down to their level. Which is why if you're not engaging in the vices of the world, they will make you feel like an outcast. Virtue has become taboo.

@RocktheHouse I think it is the Spirit you bear. Remember Paul and the demonic woman? He had just walked into the town. He hadn't said a word to anyone. The spirits in the woman recognized the Spirit in Paul.
