To my fellow Christians; When people attack us or we don't like what they have to say, are we not judging them

Question

by telling them they are going to hell or etc...? I have heard allot of this. Remember we have not walked in their shoes. Remember it is Love that never fails.

(Ephesians 4:29) Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Answer 1

No we are not judging them.

If they are wrong, then we need to stand up to the truth!

Don't be a "Girly-Man" and succumb to political correctness.

What about Jesus? Do you think you are above God?

See how Jesus reacted to even the "Religious" leaders that were full of themselves and attacking others and not liking what anyone else said!

Matt. 23

13"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

15Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

27"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. 28In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

33"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

Suck it up and don't be a wuss. There are people that will take advantage of peoples weaknesses!

Should we have treated the snakes that did this to us with love and sing to them Kumbayah?

Answer 2

A true Christian would never judge an athiest or anyone who does not believe what they do. Let's get real, this is yahoo answers, there a bunch of idiots sitting on here just creating war between right and wrong. Yes, I agree that it is wrong for some to keep judging them, but that just means they aren't a true Christian. as Christians we do have to spread the word. Most of the time, those against us feel like we are trying to force religion on them, that's not our intention. We just want everyone to be saved and understand the truth. Would you let someone sit in the dark without helping direct them into the light? What kind of Christians would we be if we did not help one another..

Answer 3

As Christians, we really need to be a bit more tactful in how we talk to others. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I guess one could say by telling them they are going to hell it could be called a judgement. I usually say that it is between the person and God and only God knows their true heart. Aside from the judgement aspect of it, it also does not make it very appealing to anyone to accept Christ when talked to in such a way. I will point out to anyone I might speak to about what the Bible says about eternity, and that there are only two choices, black and white, no gray area. Those who do not choose to follow God, automatically choose the other, whether they realize it or not.

We should approach people with a loving nature, just as Christ did.

Answer 4

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and life, no one comes to the Father except by Me," (John 14:6) If I say that there are many ways to Heaven or that there is some sort of universal salvation, I am calling Jesus as well as the writers of Scripture liars. I think that is worse. I have never pointed at someone and said they were going to Hell. I simply give them the Gospel truth, if they be of the elect, they will respond and at that point, or in the future, the Holy Spirit will awaken them and they will realize their position in Christ. If they not be of the elect, then the Gospel will have no impact, and they will be lost. That is truth, hard truth, but truth none the less.

Answer 5

I've never told anyone they are going to hell. They might be damned maybe. I may wish that God sees thing the way I do, maybe.

I JUST had a major confrontation with a CATHOLIC woman who takes offense to my persecution of PEDOPHILE Catholic Priests.

I'm SUPPOSED TO THINK THESE PEOPLE ARE COOL

I'm supposed to love a man who molests 10 year old boys.

JESUS commanded me to do this!

Come one, Christians, TELL ME JESUS WANTS ME TO LOVE A MAN WHO PUTS HIS WANG UP THE BACKSIDE OF A 10 YEAR OLD BOY

Tell me THAT'S WHAT JESUS COMMANDs

I ACTUALLY WANT TO HEAR ONE OF YOU SAY IT

If God and Jesus says that's cool, I'm becoming an Atheist, because I don't view that as cool.

Any Atheist who, even mockinly, things a grown man sticking it into a 10 year old boy is cool, better not speak up, even in jest!

I'm usually pretty liberal with gay, but this CATHOLIC WOMAN judged me for being against backsiding young boys.

If God and Jesus are against my judgement on that, then I'm in the wrong religion.

And if homosexuals are for backsiding young boys, then they lose my support forever.

I'm not talking about grown ups or even late teens. I'm talking boys who don't even have a sexual reaction yet.

If that's the case then Muslims are cool with marrying 9 year old girls, I guess and I'm a fuddy duddy.

Answer 6

"Judging" in the Greek has 2 definitions. 1) discerning, judging; 2) damning, condemning. We are called to do the first. We are not to do the second because it is God who condemns the lost and there is NO condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.

Actually, we will judge (condemn) the world with Christ at the Great White Throne Judgment. But for now, we are to preach the gospel, speaking the truth in love. That includes the consequences (going to hell) of not believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Answer 7

2 Corinthians 12:10 Since I know it is all for Christ’s good, I am quite content with my weaknesses and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.



It is important to note, that our trials and tribulations are allowed many times as to act as tests. If you allow your flesh to always rise up, that is a sign that you are not maturing as you should be.

2 Thessalonians 1:4 We proudly tell God's other churches about your endurance and faithfulness in all the persecutions and hardships you are suffering.

It will always bring more Glory to God when we act in loving and faithful ways.

Remember what our Lord Jesus Christ told us:

16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.

17 I command you to love each other.

The World’s Hatred

18 “When the world hates you, remember it hated me before it hated you.

19 The world would love you if you belonged to it, but you don’t. I chose you to come out of the world, and so it hates you.

20 Do you remember what I told you? ‘A servant is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you!

21 The people of the world will hate you because you belong to me, for they don’t know God who sent me.

You MUST pray that God gives you the grace to act as a godly man or women in those circumstances. Remember that when we interact with people we don't know if we are entertaining angels or not.

Hebrews 13: 2 Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!

But in all things remember that there is a time and season for everything as Solomon tells us.

When Jesus was being accused and spit upon in the final hours of his life, He did not fight back, he did not even speak against what he was being accused of.

So pray that you know the will of God for the occasion.

Thanks and GOD BLESS

Answer 8

Judge not lest we shalt also be judged. All who judge God will reap those judgements onto them. Yes we cannot tell who is going to where because only God knows what really lies in our hearts. After all even satan comes disquised as an angel of light. But many are in fact not judging, they are often times repeating scriptures in hopes of helping people see the truth. It is fine to talk of scriptures, and to tell them to unbelievers. We must watch to not judge. We can tell of God's word, and what unbelievers choose to do with that truth is then up to them.

Answer 9

Your political correctness is the most damning thing you can do to non-believers. STAND UP and tell the TRUTH as it will make you FREE. If God does not want any to perish, what do you want? I am not here to please man. I am here to witness for the Lord and for as many souls as possible.

I believe your heart is in a good place; just confused by political correctness which is killing our country and playing into the hands of the enemy, Satan.

Answer 10

You're absolutely right. We should respect the freedom of others to believe as they wish, and whatever beliefs they choose, just as long as it doesn't cause others harm (such as human sacrifice, killing those not of your religion, etc.) If we judge others with a harsh judgment, the same harshness will be used when final judgment is meted out against us.
