       This truth applies to us as individuals relating to other individuals, but it also applies to how one church relates to another church. Bodies of believers can get trapped into a mental framework of which they think only the way they do things are right, and if you don't do things the way they do them, you are in the wrong. It becomes tunnel vision. One church isn’t to judge another church because they approve or disapprove of something that is in a gray area. I think this can frequently be a problem. It is one thing to disagree over doctrine, or to steer clear of a particular body of believers because they allow clearly forbidden sin, or approves of that sin, but it’s a whole ‘nother thing to judge another church because it allows something that is debatable. The weaker church I think is more likely to judge a church that allows more. But, a very free and mature church can also be found judging the weak church for being too restrictive and narrow. I believe the main thing is that each body should just focus on themselves. That makes it easy.
