fogive, Will our Lord forgive us the same way we forgive others?
If God Judges us the same way we Judge others, would it be better not to judge at all?

The Bible doesn't say that we should not judge anything ever, it just says that we should judge ourselves first.
Obviously, we are to judge what is right and wrong in our own lives; otherwise, how do we know if we are doing good?
Also, there are several scriptures about rebuking others. The apostols rebuked others, as does Christ several times. If they are our role-models, then there are probably SOME times when we should stand up for what is right.
The idea of the verse about judging others is really about unfairly judging them. You should look at yourself first.
Read Christ's words in Luke 17:
"So watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him." It does say to be forgiving, but what are we supposed to do if he does not repent? It definately does not say it is wrong to rebuke or judge others.

Judge lest ye be Judged. We have no right to Judge. We can tell people that by the Bible it is WRONG. We can try to help guide them. That isn't saying you are going to hell though. THAT comment is judging them and THAT is what will get you in trouble. Actually though the Lord God is FAR more forgiving then people. If you truly seek his forgiveness through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ then he will forgive you and forget it ever happened. We as humans miss out on that forgetting part.

It is best not to judge people, because it is God's job to take care of that, and not our right. Forgiveness is something we should strive for, but not something everyone can bring themselves to. We are lucky that the Lord doesn't take that at face value and judge us as we judge others. As long as we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, he will take our sins upon his shoulders and forgive us totally.

The Lord forgives no matter what.
The Bible teaches not to judge.

Mat 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Luk 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
These verses were written to those who were lost. It is Jesus speaking. When Jesus died and rose again, it was for ALL sin for all time. I do not believe anyone who repents, accepts the gift of salvation will ever lose their salvation.

Yes! That's what Jesus says to do! We are to never judge others because we do not have that authority. And we must forgive others for their offenses just like Jesus forgave our sins.
" Love your enemies, do good to those who hat you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. If you love your enemies, then your reward will be great and you will be sons of God, because He is kind. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." Luke 6: 27-36
" Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgive." Luke 6:37-38
God bless!

That is what the bible says, thats also why God tells us to have a forgiving spirit and not to carry a grudge. For if we can not forgive our brother how can we expect God to forgive us?

God will forgive you if you are truly sorry-no matter what. Try to be a good person and God will bring you straight to Heven. Don't judge people by their apperiances-if you do, God won't be happy. We always want to make God happy.

Do not pull the splinter from anothers eye whilst you have a mote in your own.
Judgement is reversed for the divine over the mortals, for us to judge means we consider ourselves as important as the divines.
Obviously this is not so
