If the Bible is clear about anything, it is about the importance of judging on a regular basis in order to properly serve and honor God.

Every living person is called to judge so I wonder why some people say "do not judge".

They will quickly quote a verse from Matthew 7 which to me is always quoted out of context by people who are terrified at the idea of someone preaching against sin or pointing out any form of error(s) them.

It is not surprising though cause our generation is trying so hard to fulfil the prophecy in Isaiah 59:8 which says that People have refused to judge, so there is no peace.

Why I am writing this post is to inform people, especially Christians who say "do not judge" that they are sinning against God who called us to

"Rebuke" here means "to criticize sharply, admonish, or reprimand." When people do not recognize the error of false doctrine, we charged to call it out and we cannot do that without judging their actions.



A righteous person will talk of judgment. He will not REFUSE to judge. He will talk judgment.

We are charged in I Corinthians 1:10 to


Read what Paul says here:

Every Christian is called to do what Jesus describes In John 7:24 as RIGHTEOUS judgment.

So any Christian that tell you to not judge is either a hypocrite or a sinner.

Stay away from such person.

Now here's how to judge.


Matthew 7: 1-5 allows judging after you have first judged YOURSELF. Jesus did not make a blanket statement against judgment. He simply pointed out a RULE for judging.

Don't rush to judgment and do not make more of a matter than God makes of it.

When Solomon received his kingdom he asked God to

Ask God to give you the grace and wisdom to judge and then judge yourself first because God hates Hypocritical Judgements.


What happens when we stop judging



If you are a true Christian, then you belong to God. You are God's child. If you refuse to judge and improve yourself as a child of God, then God will take it upon Himself to judge you.

@Op. First define what it means to judge, den define what it means to rebuke or criticize then u will see that when Christ said judge not, he meant judge not. Judges at the law courts have measurements, they judge you by it, ever seen a law court rebuking a criminal? They judge.
Christians need to no d difference between dealing with issues and dealing with people. Judgement have to do with condemnation, but rebuke is not focused on the person but on what a person has done.
A girl had a foursome, I will be right to tell her those who do that will go to hell cause it is against God's laws, but I will be wrong to look her in the face and say "hey sis, ur going to hell", that means I have condemned her, wat if she repents tomorrow?

We judge behaviour, not people.

@OP, Mr Judge are you perfect? Leave judgement for God for it is written " Do not judge before the time ". One thing dat makes me angry is dat some Christians think they are too holy with their self righteous holier-than-thou attitude, that they condemn everyone to hell by mere looking at their appearance... You can correct someone in love and win the person over. You can rebuke the behaviour but not the person cos you are not his Creator. Leave judgement for God.

I am a believer in CHRIST, i don't judge people cos i am not perfect, instead i will tell the person about his or her behaviour but i will never judge the person at all cos am not God. The Salvation i received in CHRIST Jesus is by His grace but not of myself. Its God that gave me the grace to believe the Gospel of CHRIST when i first i heard it, and i know in the fullness of time, more people will still come to CHRIST even conc atheists.... Left to me, i would love everyone to make heaven but God gave us free choice.... I pray that more people will know the truth about our Saviour Jesus CHRIST.....

So please, don't condemn people, condemn their behaviour but not the person. Correct them in love and you might win them over. God is Love.

Nice post exaxtly...but can u explain this following scriptures. Romans 14:
Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 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.

14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

caruzo:
Finally ,romans8:
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
