What Does God Really Mean By "Thou Shall Not Judge" by Nobody: 12:03pm On Aug 15, 2016


Hello guys, please i need your thoughts on this issue.
The lord said we should not judge others "Luke 6:37"
but here's is where it gets confusing
When you judge something/someone/people you are either saying that thing/person/group of individuals is/are
either " Good / Bad ".

now, does it mean even when we say something/someone is good we are also sinning against God?

When you say smth or smone is good, you aren't judging but appreciating the thing or person.


Many people have good intent and purposes but they condemned by someone who knows nothing about their good intentions. That's judging.

This is one grossly misconcieved part of the bible, we, christians have flung out of context...
The issue is most of us read a single bible verse nd rigidly take it literally for what twe want it to mean.
Moreover, a true Biblical principle should be based on a
systematic theology, by looking at it from the big picture, not an isolated verse.


Wanted to raise this issue in this section sometime back, just changed my mind. Dunno if it had been raised b4 and dealt accordingly.
I'm only being selective in my battles. Salvation dey say, is personal tho.
OP...it's a sin to judge.......that's what religious fanatics promote..but no..!!
There's more to it than that

Biblical interpretation not dictionary meaning, the meaning I gave is my opinion not from any reference material.


Bible says: Ye are gods, check dictionary for the meaning of God. And ask yourself if you are one.

what language was the bible translated in? isn't it English language?
of course English language can always be referenced especially in this context.

"ye are Gods"

from the dictionary definition of a God, you will still understand what that line above says.
