Do you think judging people is overrated as in being hyper-opinionated?

Question

When do you realize you are being too judgemental, opinionated. Has anybody set you down and corrected you?

Answer 1

"Judge not lest you be judged. You therefore have no right to judge me when it comes to my sins!"

The world often takes this verse out of context and uses it to accuse Christians of being "judgmental" when they speak of sin. In the context of the verse Jesus is telling His disciples not to judge one another, something the Bible condemns (Romans 14:10; James 4:11). In Luke 6:41,42 He speaks of seeing a speck in a brother’s eye. In John 7:24 He said, "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." If someone steals, lies, commits adultery or murder, etc., the Christian can make a (righteous) moral judgment and say that the actions were morally wrong, and that these sins will have eternal consequences. Chuck Colson said, "True tolerance is not a total lack of judgment. It’s knowing what should be tolerated—and refusing to tolerate that which shouldn’t."

Answer 2

It's whether or not you can keep the tact in your judgment. Better yet, keep your mouth shut and not voice the judgment. I think that just comes with age and experience. Yes, I have utilized my big mouth and said a few tactless things and have been reminded it was quite rude of me to do so. Live and learn.

Answer 4
