I agree, Christianity is constantly under attack on this forum and Christians of all denominations should support one another and not join forces with those whose only motive, is to rip and tear asunder.

If I have to judge them on their habilities to play football, Maradona. If I have to judge them on personal characteristic, I can't . I have my own faults. If you are perfect, go ahead and judge them.

1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.\nMatthew 7 1-2 \nAlso \n15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Mat 7-15

Should We Never Judge?\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment"; and "You have rightly judged."; and "Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?"; and "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves". (Jesus' Words in John 7:24; Luke 7:43, 12:57 and Matt. 23:15)\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSummary\n\nThere is an extremely serious error that is being believed by the vast majority of people caught up in christian religion. This error is literally making those folks unwilling and unable to discern truth. And what is this error? It is believing that all "judgment" is wrong. If this is true, then what is to be made of Jesus' Words above? In the verses above, Jesus clearly commands people to judge, commends people for judging, and judges himself.\n\nThe key point to understand is that not all judgment is wrong, just various types of judgment. The types of judgment that are wrong according to Jesus are condemnation, as well as hypocritical and self-righteous judgment. On the other hand, right judgment is commended by Jesus as we see above. Right judgment includes the judging of truth versus falsehood. The sincere, serious and sober judgment of our own sins, as well as the gentle, and compassionate judgment and correction of other's beliefs or sins.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nWhat is the matter with 'judging'?\n\nTragically, Satan is doing a masterful job in christianity's organizations in regard to confusing people over the issue of "judgment". People have been lead to believe that it is "un-loving" to correct someone who is in error, whether by word or deed. Certainly many have contributed to Satan's lie of "don't judge anyone" by being harsh, ungracious or unmerciful in their judgments. It is easy for a person - after being excoriated by a modern day Pharisee who is telling them that they are going to hell if they don't believe something that Jesus doesn't even address - to be pushed to believe that all "judgment" is wrong.\n\nIn like manner, many more have contributed to Satan's lie by taking the position that anything said to correct someone, no matter how gently done, is "ungracious" or unloving. These folks are the counterfeit believers who dogmatically state that all judgment is wrong (except their own of course!), especially the kind that points out the falsehoods they are believing. I can't count how many times have I heard the accusation, "oh, brother, you should not say that those who believe the doctrine's of the christian church are in error - that is judging them and Jesus says we are not to judge others. You are being divisive by your judgment. You need to come to an understanding of Jesus' love…"   Notice how I am judged as "un-loving" comparing Christianities beliefs with Jesus' Words.  I could be the kindest, most gentle, caring, compassionate, giving, selfless person on the planet (which I am not), but if I believe that the teachings of christianity lead people away from Jesus, then I am judged as "un-loving" and usually much worse.  Ironic, isn't it?  That when I try to point out how a teaching of Jesus contradicts a doctrine of christianity, I will be judged as a heretic or worse?  So, while I try to look at a belief that someone holds, and they don't like the truth that I might be bringing, they are only too quick to break their own "don't be judgmental" belief to condemn my person.\n\nGuess who is being judged as un

The word "judge" in both scriptures have several meanings and its meaning is based on their context in the statement. Just as the Christian is suppose to "judge" another Christian's fruit and actions, yet not "judge" in condemning them to hell. Let's look at your two scriptures carefully.\n\nJohn 9:39 \nJudge = Greek: krima - a matter to be judicially decided, a lawsuit, a case in court\n\nContext: Dividing of two factions, believers and unbelievers (blind to sight and seeing to blindness)-Judgment based on fruit\n\nSo John 9:39 Jesus is actually saying, "For the dividing (judgment) between the believer and unbeliever I am come into this world, so that the believer would become a stronger believer, and that the unbeliever will become fixed and convinced in his unbelief."\n\nCompare the above with the same judgment in Matthew 25:32,\n"And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats."\n______________________________________________________________\n\nJohn 12:47\nJudge = Greek: krino - condemn\n\nContext: To condemn to hell.-Judgment of eternal destiny\n\nIn John 12:47 Jesus is actually saying, "Anyone who turns his back on the warnings I give, I will not condemn (judge) him to hell, he will have condemned himself via his own free will. For I have not come to send anyone to hell, but to provide a way out of it."\n\nCompare the above with John 3:17-19\n\n"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Try being your own judge of our own success/failure.

You are welcome to think whatever you'd like.  Just like they are.  Quit being judgemental as is commanded by your god.

People generally make an estimate.\n\nWise people will check their judgements.

That is an excellent question and a very good point. I totally agree with you. What makes anyone think they are good enough to judge others, and what right have they to set the standards for other people. As long as people are doing their very best within their means, people should live and let live within reason, providing they are not causing a danger to themselves or others.

No one does\nWe all will be judged

I would say yes, it is a form of judgement, but I don't want to judge.  :D  BTW, more Christians should read the verse you posted and the verse after that.  It says that whatever whatever judgement you judge, you shall be judged and whatever you meet, (out to someone) shall be measured to you again.  To me, that would mean that if you say, "You're going to hell," you will go to hell if you don't repent.

I believe we, as humans, judge without knowing all the facts.  It may appear one way to us, but if we knew all the facts, we may see it another way.  I've had people judge me in a certain situation, but they didn't know what I had been through and they only saw the choice I made, not that I didn't have a choice.

"why do people say your going to hell, i thought only god can judge me not them."\nYou are absolutely correct: only God can judge people!\n*He he he!* The next time you feel you're being judged unfairly, say this: "The lot by which you measure will be measured out to you." (It means that God will judge you the way you have judged others.) If they ask you where it is in the Bible, just say something like, "You ought to know since you're SO much BETTER than I am!" (with sarcasm!)\nA lot of people don't like church. Doesn't make them (or you) bad.\nPray about it. It really does help.

Whenver I feel myself pulling the measuring stick from my back pocket, I try to remind myself of the following scripture:\n\n"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye" (Matthew 7:1-5)\n\nIt's hard, but .. if you recite this from time to time. it's helps me to slow down on judging others.
