I know the Bible says "Judge not that ye be not judged" but when we are judged by another, what should we do?

Question

It makes me angry to have people throw stones at me and I want to respond by proving that they are the one that is wrong... but we all know how well that works. I just get frustrated sometimes... what am I supposed to do when someone verbally attacks me... especially when they don't really have a reason to do so? Should they be corrected, or left alone, or what?

Answer 1

get a box of kleenexes and cry yourself to sleep. it's only the internet.

Answer 2

because the Bible would not say now to not evaluate. human beings like to diminish Jesus off mid-sentence and quote in simple terms 1/2 of what he suggested. that's continually those who do not favor to be judged that attempt this, by using the way. What Jesus suggested is that we are able to be judged by using the classic with which we choose others. truly he's giving a treatise on hypocrisy. he's not putting forward "whats up, something is going" that's what enhancing his preparation changes his intending to be.

Answer 3

The best thing is to ignore them. I tried it and it works wonders! There is nothing worse for those who judge others than to be ignored. They are trying to value themselves in doing that and be smart. Don't play the game! You know what you are doing and who is to judge whatever you choose to do? I do agree though that when it comes to be too much you need to take a stand and talk face to face with them and let them know you are aware of what they are doing and this would have to stop because your patience is running thin. But usually; to ignore them completely works all right.

Answer 4

If you can, grow your faith (relationship with the Christian God) to the point where it does not matter what others say about you...

Sometimes there is truth in criticism. Examine the criticism to see if there is truth (even partial truth) in it. Accept such truth as an opportunity to learn and grow. Thank the person for the critique, and let them know that with their help you can indeed learn and grow.

If the criticism is unjust and unfair, dont bother trying to defend yourself. Take your frustration to God and ask for his Peace of Mind (Philippians 4:6-8).

Cordially,
John

Answer 5

First of all, pray. Then be quiet. Let the Holy Spirit guide you. You have to be quiet for that to happen. Never give a rebuttal when you are angry. The bible says be angry, but sin not. Later, when you have talked it over with your heavenly Father, he may lead you to speak to the person privately. Remember, soft words turn away wrath. Ask him to give you what to say. God may also lead you to just let it be. Remember, he never said a word before the magistrates that condemned him!
Their reason for attacking you may be so that God can teach you patience!
Over time God teaches judgmental people how to be more accepting of others, to love them and not to condemn them. In my life with him I have often learned this by adversity. I hadn't thought I was being judgmental until I was placed in a circumstance that taught me I had been. My growth with God allows me to admit this without shame. Be patient, we are tried with many fiery trials to perfect our souls! God isn't finished with any of us yet! In the end you will come forth as pure gold!
God bless you.

Answer 6

if your following the bible the teaching would be to "turn the other cheek" or for comfort "the judgement of mankind is to be mine and mine alone only i posses the knowledge" through the beauty of thier "god" even the stones they THINK about throwing count against them in the end times. They have more to make up than even they think!

Answer 7

Tell them he without sin cast the first stone. Realistically tell them trying living in a glas house and showing everyone how perfect there life really is. I means it's like the example of when a spouse comes to you and says he believes that you are cheating. He usually is pointing the finger and judging you; because the **** really exsits in his own back yard. BLOW IT OFF!!!!

Answer 8

The Bible also says to forgive those who trespass against you and to turn the other cheek!!
Don't forget that the truth always comes out in the end!!
If your having a hard time forgiving and holding back harsh words; then just ask God to help!!

Answer 9

I'm the Ignorant type of person when it comes to that kind of things because its not worth it to fight, your just going with their low level, if you fight I think you're just getting yourself frustrated, because you'll realize its a waste of time dealing with those idiotic close-minded stupid people. Besides, God will judge them and they are just good on the short run and you on the long run.
In other words, let Karma do its job. so enjoy yourself and ignore those people

Answer 10

Ask God for the ability to show others a fraction of the mercy he shows you.

This is what I do, with frequency. It helps me to forgive and not hold onto resentment.

After all, have I not thrown a stone or two in my lifetime? I have. I work on my own guilt, and leave others to work out their own salvation.

Answer 11

People who say mean things about you are USUALLY doing that because they are jealous of you... which means they already know that what they are saying is a bunch of crap. It shouldn't piss you off TOO much unless they are right- and then just take it as constructive critizism... but... when they are just making up some bullshit, it's best to just let it go. Don't flip them any **** back... but don't let them walk on you. You know who you are- they obviously dont.
