Recently a friend posted about not judging people and do not have a judgmental spirit, and several comments below were in agreement and said never judge people period. I am sorry but I must disagree and try to educate a little bit here or in God's eyes I do not love you all or care about your souls. Here is the comment that the Lord gave me after taking this to the Word and reading His take on J...udging, read the scriptures and then Judge for yourselves the truth.
Not trying to stir things but the Bible is very specific about judging things from a place of righteousness only. We are to judge the actions of a person against the laws of the Bible, but not if we are guilty of the same sin, for then you will be judged exactly the same. If you are innocent of sin and you love your brother or sister in Christ and as Christ, it is your duty to go to them and try to bring them back into righteousness. If they do not listen you are to bring 2 and then 3 witness's with you as witness of their behavior and again try to bring them back, if they don't listen you are to shun them to shame them and have no more communion with them. He tells us to abhor sin, and to go and preach the truth, live the truth, go and reprove, rebuke, and exhort with complete patience and teaching. He tells us that the righteous shall judge the earth, and tells us that we are to judge the angels. Just never do it if you are guilty of these same sins for this is the biggest hypocrisy. I paraphrased the scriptures I just read concerning these things, if you wish to read the truth you can look these scriptures up. They are 2 Tim 4:2, Leviticus 19:15, Proverbs 31:9, 1 Cor 6:2-3, 1 Cor 5:1-13, especially 12-13, Math 18:15-17, Ephes. 5:3-5. Judging the sin is not wrong, judging the man himself is not for us, but for God alone. Love them enough to help them from their sin, teach them how you overcame the same sins. If we as Christians keep hiding in sin and say don't judge each other, it is because we are afraid of judgement ourselves, and this keeps us from witnessing and spreading the truth as Christ did. Take the sin to the Word, you are not judging them but showing them the Truth, if they choose not to believe, you are not responsible for their soul at that point, but if you know the truth and do not share it or be your brothers keeper, their soul is on your head. We can no longer sin, we must show God through our righteous deeds as an example to all to live, then no man can judge you not even yourself, but God alone. We can no longer be cowards in our sin and afraid to witness for fear of judgment, for this is what the Devil is counting on to shut the mouths of the just and righteous. Don't let sin go unexposed, shine God's light on it and it will be judge by Him. You are to just be the light that brings it into view so God's love and holy fire can consume it. Be careful, the devil loves to play with Christians through judgement and has blinders on most people, and justifications, and He knows The Word of God just like us and He uses it to confuse the Christians and keep them ineffective for the Lord's work. Jesus spoke the truth and was hated for it, they despised Him, He came off as a self righteous, know it all, blasphemer who rankled all of those in religious places. If you are a true follower of Christ's ways, you too will not be liked, or loved, you will be shunned and judged, as judgmental, love them enough to keep trying anyway as Christ did, be willing to lay down your life for those that hate and scorn you for this. Sorry, The Lord just really needs all of His children on the same page. We are all sinners so we can't be hating, but we can come together in love and exhort one another not to sin, for Jesus did this. Sorry I got a bit long winded again, but the Bible is very clear and easily misconstrued if you just read one verse out of context to the entire chaper. Read before and after all verses on these subject and the truth will be clear to you if the Spirit is in you.
