Did God give you the right to judge the lives of others?

Question

What rights did God give you?

Answer 1

God gave me a pamphlet that is open to interpretation. I'd say that's the same as giving me the right to do whatever I want.

Answer 2

God says for us to not judge people. For how can we judge them, when we have ALL sinned and fall short of the glory of God!

Matthew 7:1
[ Judging Others ] "Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

Luke 6:37
[ Judging Others ] "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

1 Corinthians 4:3
I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself.

1 Corinthians 4:4
My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.

My pastor said the other day, when we judge others we are making a comparison. When we compare we either feel proud & boastful which are sins or discouraged, and covet & envy others, also sins.

What rights were we given...This: John 1:12, 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—


We are gien the right to become God's children when we believe, that doesn't mean we automatically are Gods children but we have the RIGHT to BECOME a child of God through belief!

But God did say we should as believers & followers of Christ rebuke/correct those when they are wrong...That is not passing judgment, that is educating others & correcting them when they are wrong or mistaken. And that we should rebuke with Love...That means in a nice way, a friendly way...No one likes being told, "I told you so!" I see Christians on here give very unloving answers to very confused people they are not right for that.

Answer 3

God says" Judge not, least ye not be judged"
What happens when you judge someone is that the person judged gets the blessing and you get the discipline.
I leave the judging to God.
Peace out.

Answer 4

God did not give me or anybody else the right to judge others. That is for Him, and Him alone to do.

God gave me the right to live in and care for His world, to love and accept all His children, no matter what their belief happens to be. He gave me the right to be equal to all other people in this world, to be above or below no one. I have a right to Free Will, no matter where that takes me.

Answer 5

We dont really have any "rights". Even over our own bodies. Im not sure what the question is really asking, but no, we do not have the right to judge those who do not believe in the same bible as we do.

We are called by God to be loving, caring and good examples.

Answer 6

No, the bible says to not judge or you will be judged with the same measure you judge. Only God is the judge.
God gave me the right to be His child and the right to accept His forgiveness. He gave me the right to accept that Jesus died for me. He gave me the right to choose heaven over hell.

Answer 7

Only God can Judge! God gave us free will.

Answer 8

You have rights to everything but only God can judge people.

Answer 9

in Matt.7:1-6 Jesus stated very clearly that we don't have the right others or we will also be judged.and with the measure we use it measured to us.....v.5 first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
God says "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life and he who win souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30)
Proverbs 27:5 "Better an open rebuke than hidden love"
Jesus gave us a great commanment "Love your neighbour as you love yourself"

Answer 10

No, God gave me the responsibility of loving others, with that comes the priviledge of eternal life. LEFTY
