Judge no man, lest thou be judged.

Luke 6:37 says " Judge not, and you shall not be judged....".

But nonetheless, we all "judge" others, whether openly or in our hearts....in some way, shape or form.


What do you think the Bible really meant by this "judging"?
Do you think that everytime you draw an opinion of someone you are guilty of judging?

What say you?

Re: Judge no man, lest thou be judged.

Judging: I'd say going on what you see or what you've heard or something but no trying to find out.

Re: Judge no man, lest thou be judged.

It is the mind's job to judge. Thats how it determines value. You can't stop it from doing what it was designed to do. It helps keep you alive.

The problem is with people thinking they are better than someone else. Because then, you have lost sight of the fact that all people are created equal. I'm not talking about being a better artist or a better cook , these belong to the mind itself, and as we know, not all minds are created equal.

The sin, is in thinking your are superior to another because of your status as a believer.

In spirit, all are equal.

To lose sight of this, is what the bible is referring to.

Re: Judge no man, lest thou be judged.

feel free to judge me
i know my sins and i repent for them daily
and ask guidance to learn the path away or around them
i refuse to judge anyone
that is not my place
balance must be acheived and in what manner, that is in the hands of those more powerful and knowing than myself

after you judge me.
have a go at judging yourself
and compare

this is what i tell others
and i judge myself before i judge anyone else if it cannot be helped

That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

Way to go, xenon.
I agree with you 100%.

I dont think the "judge" in the bible means to draw a conclusion about someone or something. But rather, to criticize the actions of another under the presumption that you, yourself would never do such things. And as such, makes you consider yourself as being better than they are.
