For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18 “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them. How are we to watch out for false teachers if we can’t judge?
But if he doesn’t pay attention even to the church, let him be like an unbeliever and a tax collector to you.” If he pays no attention to them, tell the church. But if he won’t listen, take one or two more with you, so that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every fact may be established. If he listens to you, you have won your brother. Matthew 18:15-17 “ If your brother sins against you, go and rebuke him in private. At the same time watch yourself so that you also are not tempted.” Galatians 6:1 “Brothers and sisters, if a person gets trapped by wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should help that person turn away from doing wrong. James 5:20 “Realize that whoever brings a sinner back from the error of his ways will save him from death, and many sins will be forgiven.”ġ Corinthians 6:2-3 “Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to settle trivial suits? Do you not know that we will judge angels? Why not ordinary matters!” Scripture teaches us to bring people who are living in rebellion back on the right path. Leviticus 19:15 “Do not pervert justice do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.” John 7:24 “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” The Bible teaches us to judge correctly and not off of appearance. Matthew 7:3-5 “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.” Matthew 7:1 “ Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” How can you judge someone when you’re sinning just as much or even worse than they are? Take the log out of your eye before you try to correct others. These Scriptures that many people take out of context are talking about hypocritical judging. Put your trust in Christ alone for salvation. Do you not care about the great price that Jesus paid for you soul. Jesus didn’t die so you can spit on His grace and mock Him by your actions.
When He judges the wicked, He throws them in Hell for eternity. The truth is you wouldn’t want God to judge you. How are we to stay away from bad friends if we can’t judge? How are we to save others from their sins? When Christians try to correct rebellious people we do so out of love and we do it humbly, gently, and kindly not trying to act like we are better than the person, but sincerely trying to help. It’s only a problem when it has to do with Christianity.
2pac only god can judge me drivers#
For example, we are judged at school, when getting a drivers license, and at work, but it’s never a problem. I will admit there are indeed Christians who have critical hearts and literally search for something wrong with you so they can judge and no believer should act like this.īut the truth is the Bible says not to judge hypocritically and off of appearance. Yes it is true the Lord will judge you, but God’s people will judge you as well. Many people who don’t want to be held accountable for their deliberate sins use this excuse. When people say this, they are saying you are a human and you have no right to judge me. What does only God can judge me mean? We all have heard this statement at some point in our lives, but is this statement biblical? The plain answer is no.
