Matthew 7:1-2: Judge not, or you too will be judged; for in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the same measure you used, it will be measured to you!

1 Corinthians 4:5; Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord returns. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time, each will receive his praise from God.
-----------------------------------------------------------

The two verses above restricts judging others, while the one below agrees that a spiritual man can judge, I want to know your take on this! Thanks in advance.

1 Corinthians 2:15 : The spiritual man make judgement about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgement! (NIV)

^^^ @jmoore & k2039, thanks.

But what do you say about this verse? -:

1 Corinthians 4:5; Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord returns. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time, each will receive his praise from God.

You cannot judge anything unless you are empowered to do so.

A medical doctor is empowered to make medical judgments, An accountant is empowered to make financial judgments, etc

A spiritual man is empowered to judge all things.

there's no take- just be ready to receive the same measure.

A SPIRITUAL MAN CAN JUDGE, A NON SPIRITUAL MAN CANNOT JUDGE BECAUSE HE HIMSELF IS FILTHY. THAT WOULD BE HYPOCRITICAL

The Word of God tells me not to judge...........Then i should not judge...chikena

the bible tells me " judge not that ye may not be judge, condemn not that ye may not be condemned, forgive that ye may be forgiven."

I hate it when people judge me therefore why should I judge others ?

@Omo Alata,

That's what I'm trying to understand here.

@All, thanks for your comments!

Care to go through this verse? It's coming from the Bible too;

1 Corinthians 2:15 : The spiritual man make judgement about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgement! (NIV)

Have you removed the log from ur eyes before seeing d spec on anoda person's eyes I don't believe in judging peoples actions especially when those actions don't affect someone negatively. You live your life and I live mine.

Omo Alata:

A person who, after he is "born again", but still believes he has sin(even as a christian), does not truly know christ and is not truely spiritual, therefore has no real capacity to judge. This is the failure of so many who believe they are christians. If you believe you are still subject to the laws of moses, If you still judge right & wrong based on this law, then sorry, you are not spiritual. This is the real sin(The Law).

In other words: Have you removed the law from your eyes?

Until you do that, you cannot judge. Jesus became this law & died, therefore the law legally died so that a christian should not be subject to it anymore.

Evil certainly has to be condemned. Not to judge doesn't mean you won't condemn evil. Rom2;1 Do you, my friend, pass judgment on others? You have no excuse at all, whoever you are. For when you judge others and do the same thing they do, you condemn yourself." In another place Jesus said first remove the peck in your eyes before you see the log of wood in others. He never said don't remove that peck. What the bible is preaching against is hypocrisy. You cannot condemn when you do the same thing. Some peeps just don't get.

You're welcome

Passing judgement is subjective matter.
Opinions can be seen as being judgemental.
Criticisms can be seen as being judgemental.
The phrase "judge not" is a lame-duck view-point.
Only for lame-Christians!
No surprises there!

I think that is left for individual to decide if we are spiritual enough to Judge or not by examine ourself vividly. We must still remember that our lord Jesus Christ that can judge did not judge.So why judging others even though we are spiritual?

This issue of judging others is confusing oh! No be small thing...I tell ya! Some gree, some no gree; which one person go follow now

I for one think we should let the scriptures do the judging.....open scriptures to rebuke/judge an individual as the case may be......

seriallink: This issue of judging others is confusing oh! No be small thing...I tell ya! Some gree, some no gree; which one person go follow now

There' are about three kinds of judging. But I will talk about two. One is discernment. The other is condemnation. It's the condemnation part God is against .

Romans 14:12-13
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 condemn others for their actions or even mistakes, it becomes a yardstick for you to be condemned . But we can discern between good and evil. It's a mark of spiritual maturity.

1 Corinthians 2:15
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

If 've always asked people who derives pleasure from judging others what time they 've got to think about their own problems, since they have so much time to monitor what's going on in other people's life. Well, i call them sore losers.

@poster where were u wen those guys were roasted in Aluu?

I Corinthians 4: 5

5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 6

Someone is probably judging you right now. Some people don't like you and guess what? There's nothing you can do about it.

No amount of toading,coercing or pandering to their interests will help. Infact, the opposite is often true, the more you

stand for something, the more they respect you, whether it's grudgingly or not.

What people truly respect is when you draw the line and say 'you will not go further.'

They may not like this behaviour but so what? These are people who don't like you anyway,why should you attempt to please

people who don't care for you in the first place.

How could white men confuse all of you with quotes from a certain book called Bible?

They have judges over there that try criminals and jail them.
Why not wait for the appointed time?

M0rons.

He placed our leaders in that position to judge,the bible never contradite itself, it all depends on your understanding.

In the christiandom he places our spiritual leader to judge us,
welther they are sinner or not, leave that aspect for him(God) to judge
