If that were true then you do not judge. As long as you have an opinion, or you approve, esteem, to prefer something to another, you have judged. Thus judging is something we all do.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\">What then was Jesus&#8217; referring to?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\">Jesus&#8217; challenge was not with judging. It was with hypocritical behavior\u2014castigating or condemning someone for something that you yourself do or from which you yourself suffer to a greater degree. This is unrighteous judgment.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\">Jesus came to restore man to fellowship with GOD. This too is the chief aim of all followers of Christ. If our judging always turns people away from HIM, then maybe we are missing something. Maybe we are not telling the truth in the right spirit which is LOVE.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\">Did Jesus judge, pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong? Did he select, choose, approve, esteem, to prefer etc? The answer is a resounding YES! The same goes for his Apostles and other writers of scripture. In fact the same goes for you. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\">The heart of the matter<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\">The issue is not with having an opinion concerning a thing but rather the standard from which that opinion is generated. We must have opinions because daddy GOD gave us a divine will. <strong>For our judgments to be righteous instead of UN-righteous, we must make sure our motive is right and that the judgment is based on GOD&#8217;s word which contains His will.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:35pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\"><span style=\"color:teal;\">Joh 5:30<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:35pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\"><span style=\"color:teal;\">(30)&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color:red;\">I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I <span style=\"background-color:yellow;\">judge<\/span>: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\">Jesus judged when he called the Pharisees vipers\/snakes, whitewashed tombs, children of the devil. Paul judged the man who was sleeping with his mom in 1 Cor and handed the man over to Satan. He further blasted the Corinthians for not judging the man even earlier but rather condoning his actions. He judged John Mark as unfit to follow him in the missionary journeys. He judged Silas as a better assistant. All of the above and more are from scripture to prove that Christians do judge. If you have a will, you judge.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;\">Only thing is let your judgment be righteous. In other words, it must be in line with the will of GOD as expressed through scripture. But this is not enough. The spirit in which it is done also counts. We must always speak the truth but in love and with a heart of honoring those who have done good and restoring those who may have erred.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It amuses me when ever some &#8220;believers&#8221; do things clearly in contradiction to the word of GOD and when others rebuke the negative behavior, they&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1371,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[56,176,181,182,267,328],"class_list":["post-807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faith-formation","tag-christ","tag-jesus","tag-judge-not","tag-judgement","tag-righteous-judgement","tag-unrighteous-judgement"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CAN\/SHOULD BELIEVERS JUDGE?
