Hello parishioners and apostles of the . First, I would love to appreciate
for initiating the
. Joining this crusade of freedom is a life changer. Today, I will talk about "Judging others". Every Christan knows the rule "do not judge people" but does it mean we should not speak out against wrong manners. The Bible talks about two ways of judging other people. First is judging other people's motive and the other is judging thier actions.
In the Bible, Matthew 7:1-6 talks extensively about judging others and taking a deeper look into the these scriptures will put will provide a better understanding about what it entails to judge other people.
When Jesus preached on the Mount where in talked about judging and like I said earlier,there are two categories of judging where the first is judging a person's motive. This type of judgement is a sin because in the teaching on the Mount in Matthew 7:1-2,
“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
In the scriptures above it was clearly stated that we are not to judge people if we are wrong of the same sin ourselves. From the scripture, we also see that we it is impossible to judge other people's motives because we are not clean ourselves as our hearts and motivations are sinful by default.
The other type of judgement is judging a person's action which is not a sin. In Matthew 7:3-4
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
From the passage above, we can see that we are allowed to judge other people but based on the fact that we are exonerated. Also Matthew 7:5-6, it tells us that judging someone's actions without been free from the sin only makes us hypocrites, which is what we see in the lives of christians today where they do not practice what they preach.
You hypocrite, first get the beam of timber out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother's eye.
Do not give that which is holy (the sacred thing) to the dogs, and do not throw your pearls before hogs, lest they trample upon them with their feet and turn and tear you in pieces. Mathew 7:5-6ello parishioners and apostles of the. First, I would love to appreciate
