If christians are accused of judging others then is persecution another form of judging?

I believe it is because they know GOD is real they know JESUS is the SAVOIR and they still choose not to love GOD.......And they hate us for caring about their soul more than they do.\nGOD BLESS Mojo STAY STRONG

In my opinion, from personal experience, having grown up in a christian church before following a wiccan path, the majority of christians have proven to be THE most judgemental, condeming, hypocritical, stone throwing and unmerciful lot I have ever encountered. While they preach the bible it would seem they forget an important thing, do not judge lest ye be judged and save judgement day for the almighty father. Love thy neighbor as thyself, love unconditionally, and he without sin may cast the first stone. We are all sinners, as only the christ is pure, so there is none who may cast the stone but they do it all the time with the excuse that the bible says...forgetting they are not to judge but should love. While I understand it is hard to love everyone then running a close second is tolerance. But tolerance is seldom seen in this religious sect as well, no wander I left christianity. I have met several gay people, and they are open, loving and have immense hearts, the christians could learn a thing or two from them if they would open the passages of their narrow minds and turn their negative gloomy outlook into a postive acceptance.

People will always judge the bible says judge not lest you be judged. by what the bible says I don;t think I will judge anyone untruthfully.

Not in the least.  Take a look around and you'll see that just about every faith is slammed by people here.  Look at the way some supposed religious people answer questions about other faiths and you'll see that Christians do plenty of viewing others negatively themselves.

How come when someone disagrees with Christianity it's bashing...but when Christians bash other peoples beliefs or thoughts on life, it's called spreading the word of God.

I believe it is a self righteous spirit.  We all, christian or not, can have a self righteous attitude and christians are as guilty as the rest of them, however, the apparent hatred they have also involves a spirit of rebellion.  They know deep down that even if we don't have it perfectly right, that there is something to what we believe in and that ol' rebelliousness and self righteous spirit kicks in and causes them to act hateful.  My personal opinion.

Persecution for preaching has never equaled that visited upon Jehovah’s Witnesses. Many hundreds of them were executed in Nazi concentration camps. To this day Jehovah’s Witnesses are under ban in some places, and in others they are arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and killed. This is all part of the sign Jesus gave.\n\nAs foretold at Revelation 11:18, ‘the nations have become wrathful’ against Jehovah’s faithful Witnesses, and this indicates that Jehovah’s “own wrath” will be expressed against those nations.

To the person in front of me (you do not have a username?): why is it that people are always quick to label those who speak up against what is wrong "judgemental"?  You're right, it is in GOD'S (singular, not plural) final  authority to judge, but aren't we whom are created in His image, His hands and feet?  Shouldn't we give a damn when our fellow brothers and sisters are acting immorally?!\n\nIt is NOT only his opinion, it is God's!  So take your complaints up with God, because HE made the rules!  You are not moral if you disagree with God - period!\n\n"Moral" people who don't follow Jesus are not really moral, it's just an illusion!  Because they don't truly follow God, they still places themselves on this pedastal where THEY get to decide what is right and wrong.  No, no, no; there can't be five different "acceptable" ways to look at one wrong thing.  There can only be one; that is just the facts of the law.  When you put in man, however, that is when we get many crazy ways of looking at what is wrong.

What gives you the right to make such a broad generalization of people that don't go to church?  I think maybe you should brush up on what your religion tells you about judging people, before you ask questions like this.

Just about everyone is a hypocrite.  However people who call attention to their Christianity represent their religion...so when they act hypocritical (as everyone does), they do so not as themselves but as a Christian.\n\nExample:\n\nChristianity preaches not to judge.  Now, if someone were to run around telling everyone, "I'm a Christian, I'm a Christian...do as I say, do as I say, don't sin, don't sin....oooooo, you're going to hell!"\n\nWell, they just judged!  And they did so in the name of Christianity.  Its normal, we all do it...but some people do it in the name of their relgion...making the entire religion look bad.\n\nKinda like how some Muslims kill in the name of Islam...it makes the whole religion look bad.

its not that we are judging them. If they accept Christ then they all go to Heaven, if not they condemn themselves

Well you're not being entirely honest here are you.  First off, you commit the same generalizing you accuse others of.  Secondly, not everyone or most everyone for that matter is mocking Christianity, they are mocking those Christians who are anything but Christian.  You need to understand that many, not all, people here who claim to be Christian do not in any way shape or form practise Christian humility, compassion, or Christ like living.  Sad but true and to those hypocrites I say I will mock you for your Christian of convenience stance.   Again many Christians here, do nothing but proclaim their faith as the only true faith, they proclaim anyone Else's faith is evil, they proclaim that God hates certain people.  They do all this and then wonder why others may look upon them with ridicule or even contempt.\n\nBottom line, if you show people nothing but contempt, hatred and vilification, you certainly shouldn't  expect anything else but the same in return.  I know you probably did not want to hear this but it is true.\n\nBTW, although no longer a member of organized Christianity, I have my faith, which is why my answer to you is honest but in no way mocking.

Christians are NOT the only ones who discriminate against others. Most organised religions talk  'smiting the infidel'. They all believe that their's is the one true way.

Well as far as the Bible I read it and I take it literally.  If I don't understand it I read the Strong's concordance. Whether it be in Hebrew or the Arabic translation, I read the translation and then understand it better. As far as the judging part I think we all do it one time of or another. It's wrong and we shouldn't do it, as we know. Being intolerable, again we all are one time or another, even unbelievers.  The ones who don't believe do think and criticize us a lot when we do human things, like judge, intolerance, gossip, or any other sin they can catch us in because it makes them feel better and possibly superior.  If we were perfect, we would be Jesus!

I would be curious to see what your friend thinks of this scripture from 1 Corinthians 5:12-14...\n\nFor what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”\n\nShe is wrong. Yes. But you are also wrong for basing your salvation on what other people say or do. This will be no excuse in the last day. We must base our self examination with CHRIST as our standard. And without God's grace and mercy, we would all lose, wouldn't we?\n\nYoda Green - I suppose you are an example of the non-judgmental?
