It does say that we will be the judges in the next world....but Jesus also expects us to deal fairly....for any disputes we need to handle in this life.

The message is that a devout and faithful man should be set as judge over righteousness and wickedness.
The Corinthians would rather have deemed revenge or fraud as the just way to punish a fellow man. Yet such judgment should be left to the above mentioned.

It truly depends upon your context of what Paul was defining "judging" and who are they that we are judging.
If you look at it from one perspective, Paul seems to be advocating that we will judge the world, that is its system, its people, however if you look at it from another possibly more real dynamic way, when Christians live a righteous and holy lifestyle they judge the world, for they are demonstrating that by their becoming a Christian, the worldliness of their character and lifestyle shows that the world is in rebellion against God. The Christian's very witness should define that the world has been judged! Thus it has been destroyed in the Christian. That is it holds no bondages to them, it holds no ties to them, it holds no permanency, no attachments, only in reqards to the Salvation of all peoples everywhere. We no longer look at the world they way we used to but in the light of Christ and for his glory.
It does not say in the world to come.

In order to be a judge you have to be a Saint. The bible says that there are only 144,000 (Saints) that will be judges and Priest to help rule. Now one has to ask themselves just what will these 144,000 rule over? It will be over the great multitude of righteous people left here on the earth.
Also need to read the requirements of the (Saints)

I try not to judge in this world...I think it will be easier in the next life not to judge. God is the only judge.
Sometimes, it amazes me still, that you and I can read the same words, and understand them completely opposite.

Good heavens!!---Corinthians was written by that woman hating Pharisee Paul who advocates carrying on the fundamentalist tradition of seeing sin everywhere & condemning it.In contrast Christ asked his true followers to cease seeing sin in others--& to stop judging & condemning them.It's your choice who you follow---Jesus the Christ--or Paul(AKA Saul the self confessed murderer).

That's why I said I'd have to bow out. I can judge when I'm impartial. But when I've been hurt, I don't see myself as being impartial. I'm going to be on the sidelines going 'YEAH! SO THERE! SERVES YOU RIGHT! and suchlike. You really want me judging you under those circumstances???

You have to become a saint to judge. Fortunately, we have the recipe.

Honestly, all this condemning-to-hell is a bunch of ****, I mean when it wasn't even in the original bible. Personally, I am an omnitheistic agnostic who believes that if a God exists, he wouldn't condemn his creations to hell for this reason:
100 years (average lifetime) < Eternity
It is a bit disproportionate to the crime, methinks.
