what does the bible say about judging others and bearing false wittiness?

Question

please post scripture or at least the verses where they can be found

Answer 1

A Brother Who Sins Against You
15"If your brother sins against you,[b] go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. 16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'[c] 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

18"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be[d]bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[e] loosed in heaven.

19"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

Answer 2

well to bear false witness is the 9th commandment of the 10 commandments. Another way to translate that is, Do not lie.

Now the part on judging others follows:

The world often takes this verse out of context (Luke 6:37) 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 3

The Bible is very clear about bearing false witness. That's a form of lying and it is a sin. Regarding judging others, you have several factors to take into account. While we cannot judge the hearts of others, to some extent we can certainly judge the actions of others.

1 Corinthians 5:9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-- 10 not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler--not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13 God judges those outside. "Purge the evil person from among you."

6:1 When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!

Answer 4

There are many mucho passages in the Bible concerning
judgment. You are no doubt thinking of the "judge not that
you be not judged" which people often use. I believe that
is referring to not judging whether someone will go to
heaven or hell, as Christ will be the judge of that. Other
things in the Bible have already been stamped with God's
approval,or already judged. Regarding false witness, there
are many passages regarding that too. To put it simply, it
means to not tell things about other people that are not true.
It could also apply to lying on a witness stand about someone.

Answer 5

The bible says that you should not judge others because our Lord will be the ultimate judge in Heaven. "Do not see the splinter in an others eye when there is a log in yours". If you want to know about judgment read Romans 2 it is all about judgment. False witness is one of the commandments and is basically lying.

Answer 6

Matthew 7 (NIV)
Judging Others
1. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
4. How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
5. You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
