Why not to judge others?

Answer 1

you arent suppose to judge others because Jesus didnt judge others. He got crucified for sinners and he didnt say no im not going to be crucified because you arre a bunch of sinners. instead he knew the price he had to pay for our sins and he did it without judgment

Problem with that answer is that Jesus himself had judged people, he judged some to be selfish, he judged people to be sinners, he judged that his death was needed (and there are many more examples).

However the reason we should not ourselves judge others is because we aren't always right, we make mistakes and therefore we might judge someone to be something they aren't. I'm not actually religious although I used to be a Christian and got taught about it.

However do not judge others unless you want to be judged yourself, and it would seem that God is the only entity with the right to judge however particular angels would seem to say that God assigns jobs for them to do depending on their abilities and characteristics.

In my own opinion I think it is okay to judge people based upon their actions, intentions and abilities as long as it does not effect how you treat them in comparison to other people.

Answer 2

Because when you do, it reflects on yourself and that would also be part of God's job.

Answer:

The matter in question of "not judging someone" is in the context of "condemnation"... not in the matter of "discernment."

Paul tells God's church to "be discerning" about the things they see, hear and do, all the time... in accordance with the Righteousness of the Scriptures. He tells them to PREPARE themselves for their future responsibility to BE THE JUDGES OF THE WORLD when Jesus finally appoints each one of them Positions of Authority in the Kingdom of God over the nations when He returns to earth with it.

The 1) prophets tells us... 2) Jesus tells us... and 3) Paul tells us:

1) "...JUDGMENT was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints POSSESSED KINGDOM." (Dan.7:22)

2) "...When the Son of Man shall come in His Glory, and all the Holy Angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His Glory: and before Him shall be gathered all nations... Then shall the King say to them on His Right Hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from thefoundation of the world." (Matt.25:31-34)

2a) "...he that overcometh, and keepeth My works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron..." (Rev.2:26-27)

3) "Do ye not know that THE SAINTS SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD?..." (I Cor.6:2).

The matter of "not judging someone" is one of the ATTITUDE of the one doing the Judging -- it's a "holier-than-thou" attitude of hatred, superiority and condemnation that the person judging holds in his heart over others.

The bottom line of this attitude is in this judge's DENIAL OF THE MERCY AND GRACE OF GOD TO FORGIVE OUR SINS.

If Jesus' Mercy and Forgiveness is not good enough for the condemned of such "judges"... then it certainly doesn't work for the "condemning judges," either.

Jesus did not "condemn" anyone... and His Mercy... and the sin-purging power of His shed Blood through Faith are still being offered to anyone who repents of their sins, turns to Him and cries out to Him for forgiveness.

This is the "judgment call" that Jesus forbids men to make against other men. He forbids us to "CONDEMN" one another... the Judgment call of which automatically comes back upon the one doing the Judging -- thus CONDEMNING HIMSELF [as mentioned in the answer above]!!!

"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matt.6:14-15)

All men should be making "judgment calls" every day of their lives... in order to know the right or wrong path to take in the walk through life. And those calls should be made in accordance with the laws of God... in harmony with them. The Ten Commandments: His Laws of Love; Love God... Love One Another.

"This is My Commandment, that ye Love One Another, as I have Loved you." (John 15:12)

If Jesus didn't condemn us... and Forgives us, still -- neither do men possess the right to condemn. We may know right from wrong [in accordance with God's Word]... and judge which path we will take in our own lives [and we must constantly make Judgments in these matters every day]. And we may advise others if opportunity arises to do so. But no man may "condemn" another, to deny another man Christ's Salvation. That's when Judgment gets "bad."
