Judge or Not to Judge

Most Christians say, we are not to judge at all. This is an incorrect statement, and I have Biblical proof to prove it. Now the next few verses are verses which make Christians today think we are not to judge at all:

Mt:7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.2: For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Lk:6:37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Rom:14:13: Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

So because of these verses and a few others, Christians today say, Judge not lest you be judged. Now what about the Many verses which say we are to judge.

Lk:12:57: Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

Jn:5:30: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

Jn:7:24: Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. (This is plainly telling us to judge, but to judge righteous judgments)

Jn:8:15: Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.16: And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

Jn:8:26: I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

Acts:16:15: And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. (and they did judge her to be faithful to the Lord)

1Cor:2:15: But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. (So then a person that is spiritual judgeth all things, and no person can judge that person of any wrong doing.)

1Cor:5:3: For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, (Thus Paul judged him)

1Cor:6:2: Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? (Again, we are to judge even the smallest of matters)

1Cor:6:3: Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? (Again we are to judge things that pertain to this life)

1Cor:6:4: If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. (and we are instructed to set people to judge in the church)

1Cor:6:5: I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? (This is not the case with todays Christians, todays Christians do not want to judge others, and get out of this duty, by claiming we are not to judge, therefore we do not need a wise man to judge among us, for we believe we are not to judge at all. woe to this wicked generation.)

1Cor:10:15: I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

2Cor:5:14: For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

1Cor:14:29: Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

So, It might appear there is a contradiction in the Words of God, verses which tell us not to judge and verses that tell us to judge. But I assure you there is no contradiction and the Bible explains itself. we are to judge, but we are to judge righteous judgments, we are not to judge, if we do the same thing. The next verses will sum up this:

Mt:7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.2: For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. (So then we are not to judge if we ourselves stand in need of judgment)

Rom:2:1: Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. (So we are not to judge, if we are not worthy to judge)

Rom:2:3: And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

So then according to the Word of God, we are to judge righteous judgments, but do not judge if you are not worthy to judge. For example we should not judge someone as being a thief, if we ourselves steal. A person should not judge another to be liar, if they themselves lie. We should not judge homosexuals if we ourselves lust. So no, we are not to judge others, if we can not judge righteously. Can I point my finger at someone and try to correct that person all the while that same person is pointing a finger at me ? But if one is righteous, his/her judgments will be righteous also: if then I am pointing my finger at someone and try to correct that person and that person can not find anything to point his/her finger back at me, then I am worthy to judge. For example, A person loses his temper and gets angry a lot, which causes others to stumble as well. I confront this person and tell him, that his anger and temper is causing his brothers and sisters to stumble and that it is wrong to do this. He can not point his finger at me, and say, well you get angry also, Because I do not have a temper nor do I get angry, therefore I am not a hypocrite in correcting him in his error.

Still do not believe we are to judge.

1Cor:5:11: But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Now we are not to eat with a brother who is a fornicator. nor to eat with those who are covetous or an idolater, or drunkard. Now the question I have for you is this, If I am not to even eat with one of these people, then I have to judge them as being such. If I say I cannot eat with brother Tom, because he is a fornicator, I have to have judged him as being a fornicator. So we are told not to keep company with such people, therefore I must judge them as being such people, so I can know to not keep company with them

1Cor:5:9: I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: (I have to judge them as being a fornicator to not keep company with them.)

2Cor:6:14: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

2Thes:3:14: And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. (I have to judge them, in order to have no company with them.)

So we are to judge, The key is, we are to judge Righteous Judgments, If you are not worthy to judge Righteous judgments, then you should not judge. but if one is worthy and righteous, then that person can judge, and that persons judgments will be Righteous and just.

1Cor:11:31: For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

This is so True, First judge yourself, whether you are worthy or not.

Do not judge someone of thievery, if you steal

Do not judge someone of homosexuality, if you lust and/or look at porn.

Do not judge someone of being a Liar, if you bear false witness through gossip.

Do not judge someone who abuses drugs, when you smoke cigarettes.

Do not judge someone with a foul mouth, when you laugh at all the dirty jokes you hear

The list can go on and on and on

But do judge, if you are Righteous and Just, and worthy to judge. So God's people are to judge, because God's people are Righteous and Just, and worthy to judge.

There is a great deal of false judging that goes on among those who claim to be followers of Jesus. True Christians should not be judging falsely, and it is my goal to reveal, through Scriptures, what is considered to be false judgments and righteous judgments.

Let us go to the verse most Christians are very familiar with:

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Now many people try to use these verses to say we are not to judge at all. And if you are going to judge unrighteously or unbiblically, then by all means judge not at all, but we shall see through the teachings of Scriptures that we CAN judge, but only righteously and through Scriptures. Consider these verses:

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

I Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

It would appear, we have conflicting Scriptures, Matt 7:1 seems to say “Do not Judge” yet John 7:24 and I Cor 6:2-5 says “Do Judge”, So which is it? If you read the Chapter on Interpretations you learned you can’t believe a few verses all the while ignoring or making other verses void, but when all Scriptures agree and do not contradict is when the Truth is revealed. So which is it, Do we Judge or not Judge?

We are to judge, but we are not to judge unrighteously nor are we to judge based on our own thinking, but we are to judge Scripturally which is the TRUE JUDGE.

Now Matthew 7:1-2 says we are not to judge, let us continue with the next few verses and see WHY we should not judge.

Matthew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam (log) that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam (log) is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and THEN shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Notice, you can try to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eyes as long as you don’t have anything in your own eye and can see clearly.

Do you judge drug abusers when you are addicted to nicotine? Do you judge smokers, all the while you can’t go one morning without coffee/caffeine? Do you judge those who can’t go without caffeine, yet you can’t go without sweets/sugar?

We live in a society who are super quick to point their fingers at others, which makes us not feel quite so badly about our own inadequacies. If we can point out the faults of others, somehow, if other peoples fault are worse then our own, what we do don’t seem quite as bad. However this does not change the Truth that everyone must give account for their own actions and their own thoughts.

But we should not judge anyone at all if we are not worthy to JUDGE.

Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at naught thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

When you stand before God on Judgment Day, you will not be saying “Well such and such, was worse then me” or “But, Lord, all those around me, were worse then I was”. You will give account for what you have did or haven’t done. So all the finger pointing you do, will do you not good at all, UNLESS that finger is pointing at yourself, for it is written:

I Corinthians 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

So then do not judge others falsely, when you yourself is in need of judgment. Do you judge another because of their sin(s). All the while you yourself knowingly and willingly commit sin(s) as well?

Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; (the Word judges, not us) for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God (the Word) is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Think of a person you know, that does or has done certain terrible sins or think of a person you know that is not going to Heaven because of their sinning. Go ahead, right now think of this person.

Now this person knowingly and willingly commits or has committed those terrible sins. Tell me, do you knowingly and willingly commit sins??? If you knowingly and willingly commit sins, why are you judging others who ALSO knowingly and willingly commit sins??? Do you not do the same thing?

In that, you too disobey God. You do greatly error if you put value to particular sins. Saying such things like “Adultery is a sin that is worse then stealing a pencil from work” Both have disobeyed God. When a person stands before God on Judgment Day. It is not what particular sins you have committed, but how many times you have disobeyed God that will be judged. (namely, how much you have loved others, which He commands us to do).

Therefore if you knowingly and willingly commit sins (that is to say you are still living in sin) DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS WHO ALSO KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY COMMIT SINS.

James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

The Word of God judges us, we are not to judge others based on what we believe, but judge others based on what the Word says. The Word Judges, we do not. For it is written:

Romans 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law (Word of God) shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

So we are Judged by what Scriptures teach, NOT by what men teach. I can’t stress enough how important this is concerning judging righteously.

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Where does righteous judgments come from? The Word of God is where, so when Romans 2:12 And as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law tells us, that the Word of God shall judge us and we know that the Word of God is righteous and teaches righteousness. Therefore it is not people who judge but the Word of God that does the judging.

For example, if a person steals something that does not belong to him, do we not judge him to be a thief? Not because we think he is, but because the Word says he is, for the Word says “Do not steal”

It will be the Word that judges that person and not what people think. Likewise if people cheat on their taxes, now most people will not judge them to be thieves, yet the Word will judge them as thieves nonetheless. So judgment is not what people believe or think, but what Scriptures teach.

So righteous Judgment comes from the Word of God and NOT from the words of men. Men teach it is a sin to celebrate birthdays, Christmas, Easter and the such. Yet Scriptures does not condemn these at all. Scriptures do not say celebrating a birthday is sinful, this is men’s teaching. Scriptures does not condemn the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas.

This is where false judgments is born, when people start condemning things which are not condemned in Scriptures. I ran across a couple who said “Anybody who watches ‘Friends (a sitcom on TV)’ commits sin.” I asked them to tell me what sin do they commit by watching Friends? They said “The sin of lusting” I then informed them that everyone who watches Friends do not commit the sin of lusting.

I see this kind of false judging everywhere I go. Especially from those who profess to be Christians. What disturbs me the most about all this false judgments is how much of it is NOT Scriptural.

There are people who say “Wearing a cross necklace is a sin, because Jesus wasn’t crucified on a cross but on a pole” I asked them kindly, “Please show me Scriptures that says it is evil to wear a cross necklace? They can’t, because Scriptures do not teach it is sinful to wear a cross necklace, men teach that.

Satan has got people so wrapped up in saying what is or what isn’t sinful, they entirely neglect what is most important and that is the Words of God. The Word of God teaches us what is sinful and what is not sinful, we need not ADD instructions, i.e. can’t wear a cross, can’t celebrate birthdays, or certain holidays, can’t do this or that, or have to do this or that to be righteous.

I do not know how many times I have said this statement “Show me Scriptures that teach that.” People are so wrapped up into the teachings of men, they can’t see the Truth. We have people who teach, you can’t have music in Church, “Show me Scriptures that teach that.” Or people who preach pre-tribulations (the belief that Christ will come for His people before Tribulations begins), yet there is not a single verse that teaches that. Or you can’t watch TV at all, or you must pray before you eat. We have so many rules and regulations that man says, which the Word does not say, nor teach.

We have so many people judging others of sinful behavior which is not defined in Scriptures. Know you not that it is the Holy Ghost that convinces us of sin? What might be sinful to you may not be sinful to another.

A person may be convicted not to eat pizza, and feels it is wrong to eat it and against God to do so. If that person feels it is wrong to eat it, and eats it anyway that person indeed commits sin. Does that mean others who eat pizza commits sin as well? Heavens NO, Scriptures does not teach eating pizza is a sin. Now where false judging comes into play, is when those who feel eating pizza is a sin, starts teaching others that it is a sin to eat pizza, even though Scriptures does not condemn it. This is falsely judging and happens a lot in this generation.

A person feels like he is better and more Godly, because he prays before he eats any meal, but where in Scriptures does it say you MUST pray before every meal? Its nowhere to be found, nor does it say it is a sin not to pray before every meal.

But we judge (falsely) people who do not do as we do, this is wrong and not of God. We should judge according to Scriptures and not by what we believe or what men teach.

I will give you an example how bad the false judging is with this generation. Imagine if you will, you pull up into your preachers driveway and you see him drinking a beer on his front porch and he is not drunk, what would you think? How would you respond?

Now show me Scriptures that says it is a sin or against God to drink a beer. Scriptures does not condemn this, your own judgment thinks this, and if you judged that preacher as committing sin by drinking a beer, you indeed falsely judged him, and commit sin your own self. You falsely judged him because you judged him according to your own beliefs and not what Scriptures teach.

In everything you see others do, you should ask yourself “Is what that person doing forbidden in Scriptures?” If the answer is “Yes” then that person is committing sin ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES. If that answer is “No” then do not judge that person at all, by doing so, you do falsely judge that person and commit sin your own self by doing so. Condemn nothing, unless Scriptures condemns it.

There are many people who believe eating meat is sinful, and for them to do so, it is indeed sinful, for it is written:
says “

Romans 14: 23 … … … … …. … for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

The problem is when the false judging comes into the scenario. Those who eat meat, think those who do not eat meat are silly and wrong. And those who do not eat meat trying to teach others that it is sinful to eat meat. Both of which are falsely judging.

Romans 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

This is not only referring to meat and herbs, but can be applied to everything. IF someone believes watching “Friends” is sinful, then for that person to do so, it is sinful, but let not the person who does not watch it, teach those who do watch it, that it is sinful for them to do so. And let not them who watch it, condemn them who do not watch it.

Who are you, O Man, to judge what is sinful or what is not sinful? Scriptures teach us what is sinful and what is not sinful. Who are you to judge outside of Scriptures? Did you judge that preacher drinking a beer on his porch as committing sin? Tell me where does Scriptures judge him as committing a sin by drinking a beer? Or are you judging him based on what YOU believe and not what Scriptures teach. Therefore in Truth you are judging outside of Scriptures based on your own belief. Again, who made you a Judge? Who are you, to determine what is sinful, when even the Words of God Almighty does not condemn it? This is why so much false judging is going on in the World today.

People are judging others by what they believe and not by what Scriptures teach. With this generation the list of false judgments could fill every page of this entire book/website. People who go to Church judging those who don’t. People who pray much, judging those who pray little. People who give 10% tithe judging those who do not tithe. People who have read the Bible many times, judging those who have never read it completely. People who don’t do the really bad sins, judging those who do. People judging others because of looks, money, what they wear, who their friends are, how popular they are, how much land they own, how big their house is, how fancy of a car they drive, or how much money they make a year and on and on and on.

If I want to hold February 29th every four years as a day to remember the flood and what Noah did and went through, who are you to say I am wrong to do so? Or it would be sinful to do so? Does Scriptures condemn that? Are you above Scriptures? If I want to hold every January 15th as a day to remember Jeremiah’s birth (Jeremiah Chapter one), who are you to say it is wrong to do so or sinful to do so? Scriptures does not condemn this either. IF I want to hold December 25th as a day to remember and celebrate my Lord and Saviors birth, who are you to say it is wrong to do so or sinful to do so? Scriptures does not condemn me doing this. And even though Jesus probably wasn’t born in December, I choose to celebrate it on Dec 25th. What then? Because Scriptures doesn’t tell His exact date of His birth we should not celebrate it at all? If a person wants to celebrate the birth of Christ on July 15th, who are you to say they are wrong to do so or that it is sinful to do so? Scriptures does not condemn that, so why do you condemn it, are you above Scriptures?

Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. (Notice it does not say to persuade others) 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

A person walks up to me and says “Do you see that guy over there with that long hair? That’s a sin against God, because the Bible says ‘for a man to have long hair it is a shame unto him’ so he is sinning” I then asked him, “What is the length of long hair?” he could not tell me, so I asked him “How do you know if that is long hair to him?” Scriptures does not tell us what is the length that would be considered “LONG HAIR”. Therefore let every person judge their own selves what is long hair and what is not, and let no person judge another person as having long hair. A person knows within himself if his own hair is long or not.

Again, we should not judge according to what we believe, we should judge according to what the Scriptures teach. We should stop falsely judging our brothers and sisters in the Lord. Judge only according to what Scriptures say and teach. I assure you they are enough. Stop saying “You should do this” or “You should do that” or “That is against God” IF Scriptures does not teach these things and they are merely your belief or your interpretation of Scriptures.

I have some people who then come up to me saying “Smoking Marijuana is not a sin then, because Scriptures does not condemn it”. I agree with them, that Scriptures does not say smoking marijuana is a sin, and for me to judge them as sinning would be to judge them falsely. HOWEVER I quickly point out to them, that it does indeed become a sin to smoke marijuana if it is being done in a country where it is illegal to do so. For Scriptures are quite clear (Romans 13:1-7 ) we are to obey them who are in authority over us, and if our government says it is illegal to use marijuana, then it becomes a sin, if we disobey those put in charge over us, as does Scriptures teach. At this saying they walk away sad, sometimes mad.

A person would then say to me, “Well then it is not a sin to look at Porn, because no where in the Bible does it say looking at Porn is a sin.” But I say unto them, “Lusting is a sin that Scriptures does teach is a sin, if then you lust, while looking at porn you do indeed commit sin, because to look upon a person to lust after that person is to commit adultery which is a sin” Likewise, if you lust while watching a TV program, the program is not what is sinful, but the act of lusting at what your watching makes it sinful to do so. A porn video that no one is watching is not causing anyone to commit sin.

Scriptures teach us what is sinful and what is not sinful, we need no more false judgments to add more stuff that is sinful. It is enough that we obey what Scriptures teach and not ADD more rules and regulations on top of that, even as the Pharisees and Sadducees added more stuff by saying “You MUST wash your hands before you eat any meal” Scriptures did not teach that, men taught that it was a sin to eat with unwashed hands. Jesus pointed out the error of their thinking on that matter.

If man tells you what is sinful, care not for it, but if Scriptures tell you what is sinful, better pay attention. Believe Scriptures, not men and what they believe and teach.

Romans 14: 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. 14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor ANY THING whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

The Key, to not falsely judge another, is to realize that what you are judging – if it is against Scriptures or is it against something that you believe personally. IF Scriptures condemns it, then it is a sin according to Scriptures and is a righteous judgment. But if your judgment is based on what you yourself believes, yet Scriptures does not clearly condemn it, then you falsely judge that person as doing wrong based on what you believe and not what Scriptures teach, to do this is to falsely judge.

We ALL will stand before God on Judgment Day and have to give account for each time we treated someone badly, if we talked behind their backs, made fun of them, put them down or anything that we ourselves would not want others to do to us.

What helps me, more then anything at all, to not falsely judge and to make sure I treat all people with Love, is the following statement.

WHATEVER YOU THINK, SAY, OR DO TO OTHERS. YOU THINK, SAY, AND DO TO JESUS CHRIST. (Matthew 25:31-46 )

So how you treat others, no matter who they are, is how you treat Jesus Christ. Knowing this Truth, helps me to treat people differently and should help you as well.

Again, Judge according to what Scriptures plainly teach and not the precepts of men. Which leads to false judging. We do not judge people, the Word of God does the judging. And it will be the Word which judges us on Judgment Day. Therefore let the Word judge people, and you judge no one at all, unless it is a righteous judgment that is clearly defined and taught in the Word of God.

So the false doctrine that is being taught today is that we should not judge at all. It is true that we should not judge if our judgment is not based on what Scriptures say and teach, but we can judge if our judgments are righteous, based on what Scriptures clearly say, AND we have removed the mote out of our own eyes and can see clearly to try to remove the speck in our brothers eye.

I warn you now, with this generation, even if you try to help someone remove a speck in their eye, they will be offended, especially the learned who think they know something. Try pointing out another persons sins, like Scriptures says to do (I John 5:16 ), even in love you tell them, they will be offended, because this generation loves the speck in their eye and do not want to get rid of it, they would much rather believe they are Heaven bound even though they carry around specks in their eyes. But a True Christian is not here on Earth to make friends but a True Christian is here to be a servant to Jesus Christ and to do those things which please Him. Namely to Love one another. Believe on Jesus and Love One Another, and i shall see you later with Jesus in His Kingdom on Earth.

In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ
