Where in the Bible does it say you are not allowed to judge?

Answer 1

For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.1 Corinthians 512-13

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? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?.1 Corinthians 62-3

Answer 2

"Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get." (Matthew 7:1-2, NRSV) "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get." (Luke 6:37-38, NRSV)

Answer 3

(1 Samuel 16:7) is the account where Samuel has been sent by God to chose the next king of Israel. The account tells us that God can 'see' things that we can't, and is therefore in a better place to judge. "For not the way man sees [is the way God sees], because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for God, he sees what the heart is.. . ." (Jeremiah 11:20)

(Romans 14:12) Tells us that :"each of us will render an account for himself to God"as the ultimate judge..

However, God is not the ONLY one who judges.....As regards humankind, he has given power for judging to his trusted son, Jesus, who can ALSO read hearts, and will judge as his father would.

(Acts 10:40-42),(John 5:22-27) , (Acts 17:31), (2 Corinthians 5:10)(Mark 2:8)

Answer 4

Providing u use John7:24 (righteous or God's standards) for starters in passing judgment, you may pass judgement.

We are not to use man's standards for judging - "Judge not lest you be judged." (see Matthew 7:1)

More thoughts:

The Bible reveals that the "Judgment of God" is coming upon all men:

"...it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment..." (Heb.9:27 KJV).

... and that men need to be extremely "judicious" in their own judgment, because:

"If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will NOT forgive your sins." (Matt.6:14-15 NLT New Living Translation)

The great lesson life has to teach man is to learn to "Love" one another... and learn to "Forgive" one another; instead of giving in to the basic instincts of nature: to selfishly hate, envy and resent. This polluted, dying, war-ravaged world man has created for himself is the result of hate, envy and resentment.

God offers Eternal Life to those who learn that lesson and show it in the works they do... and who PASS HIS RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT at the Last Day [Judgment Day]. And His Judgment will be measured by the "books of the Bible":

"...I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened... and the dead were Judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." (Rev.20:12 KJV)

The Bible talks about haughty, selfish, self-righteous, Satan-worshiping man undergoing a "change in his inner nature" [and eventually his physical one - see I Cor.15:51] and humbling himself before his Creator... and one another.

Learning to care about and for the well-being of one another.

God commands His people to Judge... but Judge RIGHTEOUSLY... in accordance with His Word, not as "unbelievers! "

"...why do you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter, instead of taking it to other Christians to decide who is right? Do you know that someday we Christians are going to Judge the world? And since you are going to Judge the world, can't you decide these little things among yourselves? Don't you realize that we Christians will Judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disagreements here on earth...

"I am saying this to shame you. Isn't there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these arguments? But instead, one Christian sues another - RIGHT IN FRONT OF UNBELIEVERS! To have such lawsuits at all is a REAL DEFEAT FOR YOU. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated? But instead, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even to your own Christian brothers and sisters. Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? ..." (I Cor.6:1-9 NLT)

The Bible has much to say about "passing Judgment"... good things and bad things to say about it. There is both "instructions" and "warnings" about it. Learning to pass Judgment is perhaps life's greatest lesson.

For now, at least, for the sake of ourselves as well as others, the most important lesson men can learn about passing Judgment is not to CONDEMN others. For in so doing, we condemn ourselves, also.

God has given man this life to learn His Truth. And the most important Truth of this issue is that God is not "condemning" man [at least for the time being], but is offering His "Mercy and Forgiveness" to him -- to those who will learn the lesson.

Judgment Day will sort it all out.

"Think this through and you will see that I AM Right." (John 7:24 NLT)

Answer 5

No, it says the opposite. It says you should NOT judge one another. (To judge does not refer to a legal situation, like in a court of law; it refers to passing judgment on another person, being critical of another or looking down on them.) The Bible even says "judge not, lest you be judged"-- in other words, don't judge other people harshly unless you want God to judge you harshly. God wants us to be compassionate about others, and not pass judgment on them. In fact, the Bible says only God has the right to judge.

Answer 6

Matthew 7:1-5New King James Version (NKJV) Do Not Judge7 "Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank isin your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Answer 7

Luk 6:37 "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
