Who r "we" to judge 1 another? Who r "we" to judge GOD?

Answer 1

1 Corinthians 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

1 Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

Answer 2

Kind of hard to go through life and not judge other people, or at least their actions. Otherwise you would be one gullible person, inviting the guy that robbed you last week in for dinner this week... if you didn't judge him to be untrustworthy.

As for judging God, I don't believe anyone is. They are judging the hearsay, what others say about God.

Answer 3

I believe that as people we naturally judge eachother. It's a natural thing. Right or wrong, it's impossible not to. We judge others based on what is best for ourselves. The problem arises, I feel, when people judge for God. I believe that none of us has the right to "damn" anyone else. That's up to God, not us. Not to mention, I can't comprehend how an all-loving God could damn anyone of his children to "a lake of fire". We were ALL created by God, so we are ALL his children.
Most religious people or non religious people were taught that by their family. How could God or Jesus judge people for that fact. We are all different and believe different things. I believe that an all-loving God intended it to be exactly that way. So that we can learn from eachother. I don't believe that he ever intended for people to fight in his name.
As for people judging God. From what I have seen that mainly happens when things go terribly wrong in someones life. It's also a natural thing. I believe that if asked to (free will) God will help anyone through any hardship. Most people who judge God only do it for a brief time.

Answer 4

Boy, do i dislike atheists...
Now, people since the dawn of religion (or the dawn of Christianity at least) constantly believe that they have to do "the work of god" at all costs. Everything from death to torture. Since you cant murderer or torture people over religion in this day and age whats the next best thing? That's correct! Judging, criticizing, and pushing your beliefs on others.No it should not happen and we are no one to do such a thing but it just does happen.
Now about judging God... this is where the atheists come in mostly; they absolutely love to criticize all religions and those religion's gods, Christianity in particular. Pointing out every flaw in the bible and saying over and over how god is fake and blah blah blah. I know it should not happen but it does.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not a very big fan of Christians or anything (I'm actualy a Wiccan ^_^) its just that atheists tend to annoy me.

Answer 5

If we judge another person, then we are judging God's handiwork. It's really not our job to judge, BUT we do have to use common sense to figure out who to hang with, who to trust, etc., etc. There's a bit of bad in the best of us and a bit of good in the worst of us.

Answer 6

We are not to judge or take vengence on one another. We do not have the right to judge God for he is the judge

Answer 7

Judgement is not only a reality it is a fundamental construct of our whole being. Everything you do, see, touch, taste, hear or interact with in any way you have made a judgement about it. How can you dare not judge. I say it is impossible. You can not go through one day let alone one second without judging something.

Answer 8

Then close all security forces down. The army,navy, airforce, police, courts and sack all the judges who sit on high horses. It would be a contradiction, I think (scratching head). And if someone comes to steal your purse on the bus, dont make a noise. If someone comes and breaks into your car, or home, dont report and just forgive. No judgement. Dont make an insurance claim. Nothing. Dont do anything when someone rapes your sister or daughter. nothing. Dont say anything when someone steals millions from the bank that is your money or when a politician takes all your tax dollars. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . Still scratching my head. Cant think any more. Got to get out of here. Ha ha ha ha ha unemployment? Ah. No no. More like ............

Answer 9

Only God has every information to judge. We obviously do not.

Answer 10

We have no right, as you said.

Jesus Christ himself said "Judge not, lest ye be also judged". Why can many people not get this simple premise into their narrow little minds and follow more closely the teachings of one they claim affinity to?
