i find it is hard not to judge others. Only God can Judge Me, so why do i still struggle with this?????

Answer 1

You are struggling with your sin nature. I would be more concerned if you just accepted that you were judgemental of others. I think that you not only realize it, but you hate it as well. So, let's see... you hate sin. Uhhhh... that's good. Read in Romans where Paul talks about struggling with sin. I do what I don't want to do, and what I want to do I do not... What a wretched man I am.

Keep struggling. It's when we don't "struggle" with sin that there's a problem.

Answer 2

Let's be honest here, shall we...? We ALL judge one another... The thing to remember is that we, as judges, don't have all the facts... We judge by what we see on the outside - a person's actions, but God sees the heart and KNOWS the motive(s) involved... Therefore, only He can judge us 100% accurately... We NEED to judge, but we should be less condemning in our judging... Jesus tells us that the measure we use to judge others is what will be used to measure us... Think about that...

Answer 3

Your imperfect. Thats why you arent God. I totally understand why its so hard, but just be glad your not the one to judge. Think of how hard it would be to know everything and be a completely fair judge, thats what God is. If you really do learn to love everyone and see them the way God sees them you will learn to slowly stop judging them. But I doubt this problem will ever go away. You'll always have to keep trying. But admitting you have a problem is the first step to getting over it.

Answer 4

Our modern society has taken this non-judgemental thing to an extreme, so no-one can judge anyone else for anything whatsoever... or else!!! (And they accuse christians of being extreme!!)
There are a few seemingly contradictory statements about judging in the Bible.
However: if you look at them closely, we are not to judge the hearts or motives of others, or if they are saved or not, that is for Christ (and He came to save the world, not to judge the world). This would be putting ourselves in Jesus place.
Then, starting in 1 Cor 5:1, comes a passage that instructs us to judge those inside the church. But we are instructed only to judge actions, not motives. When there are persistant, blatant, and un-repentant actions by those in the church, it is required that those doing the actions be discouraged from continuing... both for their sake and the sake of the rest of the congregation.
Judging motive and the heart is where we make a mistake in judging, because we cannot see into the heart. When we do that, our own biases (and the way we attribute more negatively the motives of others than we do of our own motives) will twist everything around and we will cause more damage than we solve.
There is plenty of psychological study information about "attribution theory" around that explains how we as humans judge others. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error)
Jesus can judge, because He can see into the hearts and motives of man. "Joh 5:30 - By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. "
Also, watch out for Mt 7:2, your words of judgment mean you know better, so you might run into difficulties if you do the same things as those you judge!

Answer 5

Judging others is a form of transference - meaning that you see your own shortcomings in others. Take a close look at yourself and if you find you have the urge to judge others, think for a minute why you have those feelings and see how they relate to yourself. You might find this will help heal YOU!

Answer 6

You have to realize that every single person on this earth is a sinner. We are all humans, or "in the flesh" if you will. Not one of us is better than the other. But if you feel like this is something you really want to change, ask God to help you with it. Another thing that will help you is, keeping your focus on Christ. Give everything in your life to Him, and give your daily attention to Him. The things that are bothering you, and the things you struggle with will instantly vanish!

Answer 7

Next time you feel you are judging someone, repeat this verse to yourself. "Judge not, lest you be judged in like manner".

Then ask yourself, 'if I were judged in like manner, would I be found guilty too? Then who am I to pronounce judgment, I'm just as guilty"

Here's the thing though; if you could stand up and be judged in like manner, and withstand the judgment, then you are okay to judge! You may not, of course, judge someones heart, that's God's business, but you can judge others works.

Of course, you can't condemn, so your judgment is sort of in vain lol.

Answer 8

Because other's around you judge too. I think whoever your influences are they will either help you or hurt you and they will influence you in the way you act toward's other's. Have you realized the way if your friends judge other's or not. I've noticed that some of my friends do and so Ive learned not to follow in their footsteps and be a possitive influence and not a judgemental one.

Answer 9

Ummmm...'cause you're human!
A perspective that has helped me - because I've struggled as well with this:
God loves us for who we ARE - not what we DO.
He differentiates between who we are and what we do. That is the most life-giving thing we can do for others.
That doesn't mean approving of others actions that run counter to God's principles. Nobody responds well to a finger in the face - but they tend to respond when you come along side of them, gently and lovingly. I absolutely COUNT on my "brothers" and "sisters" putting their finger on my sin, without rubbing it in.
Simply putting this out here - in words - is going to help your struggle, I believe. Good ON you!

Answer 10

because judging is a way for us to protect ourselves as to whether or not this a person that you would want to be associated with. Usually people will behave in a way that you may not see eye to eye with and so you make a judgement call as to either keeping this person as an acquaintance or a friend.
