Why should you not criticize or judge according to St. James?

Answer 1

Kindly consider: 2 Timothy Chapter 3 verse 16 -- All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.(KJV) Titus Chapter 2 verses 7-8 -- In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part maybe ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 11Speak 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. 12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? Judging, according to James involves both pride and also placing oneself in an exalted position over another (a similar idea). Neither of these are appropriate in one who has humbled Himself.
