you're welcome.. that's a good point.. anyone with free will to make choices to do wrong has the same free will opportunity to choose to accept Him and do right..

anyone who can choose wrong can turn and choose right.. no matter how the odds are stacked against them..

everyone has the same one equal opportunity to be saved.. that's why i call Yahushua.. 'The Great Equalizer'..

People who reject others who are in Messiah should remember that He makes us new creatures.. and that when they reject one of His they are also rejecting Him.

And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering - Col. 3:10-12

I believe it's a need to feel superior to someone. Pride is something the bible speaks against and Christians know better than to feel they have a right to a superior attitude but if they can find some sort of imagined biblical justification they've got what they believe is a reason to condemn someone else.

Every type of believer experiences , at some point in time, the rejection of the world. It's always a much greater shame when that comes from another professed believer. We can't make a practice of condemning our brothers..no matter what justification we believe we have.

'For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith.' Romans 1;16,17

 

the righteousness of our Heavenly Father is glorified in that He provides Salvation to every one who believes on Yahushua.. 'everyone' doesn't leave any room for exceptions..

if someone believes on Yahushua then he is saved in Him period.. it's sad that there are lambs who reject the black sheep even though Yahushua is mighty to save them too..

and if some of the white lambs get their wool in a twist over it they should remember that they themselves are imperfect through the flesh.. sin is a great equalizer..

thankfully Messiah is the greater equalizer.. He makes us equally redeemed in Him no matter who or what we are He makes us perfect in Him..

'the just shall live by faith'.. if a mixed race creature believes on Him their faith will be evidenced in their works.. the angels in heaven rejoice with Elohim over the salvation of one lost sheep and all His children here should be doing the same.
