Job 34:4... Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
The word “judging” has been wrongly interpreted by many believers in Christ. If by judgement you mean to accuse someone of wrongdoing, then follow Jesus’ example and do not judge until you are certain that you are perfectly pure.
Matthew 7:1-6... says Judge NOT, that YOU be NOT judged.
The above speaks of judging in the flesh, with a carnal mind.
God’s Word is sufficient for guidance regarding judging and evaluating. John 8:15-24... teaches us how to judge. Jesus himself does not even judge according to the flesh. But, if we judge according to the scriptures, we better make sure that we don’t fail ourselves in the particular area in which we judge others.
The God-like Biblical judging is a wonderful way of opening the eyes of the one who is falling by the wayside. If nobody tells him he may get lost and he may not know how to come back. We judge others in the Love of Christ, not with harsh words and condemnation, but according to God’s Word.
“If by judgement you mean to accuse someone of wrongdoing, then follow Jesus example and do not judge until you are certain that you are perfectly pure.”
Which is called righteous judgment, without it mankind would be spiritual eunuchs and the Gospel would have been relegated to historical insignificance due to people not making informed judgments throughout the 2000 years after Christ rose from the dead.
I have news for you, early Christians “judged” all the time. They were not meek from a theological as well as legal POV, hence, any gnostic disingenuously peddling an ideology in Christ's name would have been tolerated and Christianity watered down. Gee, just like what you are peddling when you have not even noticed what Chavez is really asking for. Its not repentance, especially from is Anti-Semetic and pro-radical Islamic beliefs that he funds generously.
What is judging anyway? Are we to be so passive that congregations should let preachers/ Priests/Bishops be murderers, adulterers, fornicators, liars, abusers, etc...? Remember, "Judge not...".
Got news for you, Jesus was not a pacifists, and left specific instructions that His followers are to judge, hmmm. Your discernment meter needs to be calibrated.
“... says Judge NOT, that YOU be NOT judged.”
And later Jesus commands us to judge and beware of false prophets. How do you become aware of false prophets in the first place, ROTFL? By the way, are you calling God convoluted? Why can't people discern correctly, excuse making is not Christianity, Truth is and what you peddle is irrationality/ infant consuming milk not actual Spiritual meat the Scriptures tell us to strive for. You know, becoming mature and using our God given rational to control mind and body in harmony with the Scriptures
Learn the difference between a hypocrite and righteousness. Good thing better men than us did because irrational pacifism would have made God's work a lot harder when dealing with mankind staying in a perpetual infantile state.
