When we read in 1 corinthians 5;12 "What bussiness is it of mine to judge those outside the church?"

Warning people about coming judgment is not judging them. If you know that it’s coming and you don’t warn people then you’re guilty of their blood when the judgment comes. The bible says that because men’s deeds were evil they hated the light, but they can hear a warning and if they act on it then they can be saved. The people of Jesus day were glad to hear John the baptist saying “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, make straight the way.” He wasn’t condemning them he was preparing them for the coming of the savior. If they made their paths straight then they would know who the savior was. Many did repent and follow him. Jesus is still the savior today. The same message is being preached today but soon he will return. He will be a judge then and the time to repent and be saved will have passed. Today is the day of salvation. Soon judgment is coming.

The same reason some non-Christians judge people in the church, because they have issues (not being negative, but being negative and judging others is often the result of something, like insecurity or ignorance).

ok.... there are alot of Christians interior the church which will decide yet they're completely making a mistake by doing so God says interior the Bible that we've not have been given anyplace to decide others till he tells us to do otherwise.. the people who try this could certainly get lower back what they're doing. Peace be nonetheless and allow God combat your conflict for you those exterior and interior have not have been given anyplace to decide anybody or the two one.

The job of judging is God's job. I think it is human nature to question anything that we don't agree with, Christians are not the only people that judge. To answer your question, I don't know.

I agree there would be a lot of Christians & non Christians also who judge others & they should not judge others ever but do you know what?
Christians are not perfect & never will they be perfect!
they can only strive for perfection
so they will often make mistakes
Jesus is the only perfect one

i think they think theyre carrying on gods work. Im a christian but would never inflict my views on others, i feel it can be quite patronizing. Many people don't even know im a christian after all its wot i, myself believe in. I think we should let others decide which path they want to take if any. Some christians are wrong to judge people, i really hate that! What right have they got to prejudice against fellow man, they are NOT god, its not their place to get involved. I think its terrible when people say homosexuals will go to hell! If god made us then he made homosexuals the way they are so wots the big deal???

True Christians don't judge others. They love each other and tolerate the differences. Judgment is God's business, not ours.

If Christians would actually do this---stop judging those outside the church---and just live their own lives in accordance with their understanding of Jesus Christ, then I might respect, even admire, them. But no, they delight in telling millions of Buddhists that their religion is a worthless cult, that God ignores their prayers, and that they are going to burn in hell forever. They tell the deeply religious Jew that God ignores his prayers and that he and his entire family are going to burn in hell forever just for being Jewish. They even tell million of people who call themselves Christians that they are not real Christians(Mormons, Episcopalians, Catholics, anyone who does not believe that bible stories are literally true. Nope, they have to believe in talking serpents to be real Christians, these people say.
TROLL: And what is the sin of the Buddhist? . . . . Being Buddhist?

Christ tells us to: judge righteous judgement - John 7:24
I tells us in the next verse what we are supposed to do once we judge righteously that they are not part of the church.
But them that are without, God judgeth. Then put away from among yourselves that wicked person. -1 Corinthians 5:13
We are not to share their sin. Knowing they they have sin is not unrighteous judgment, nor is resisting it.
