A good yardstick or do you judge, be honest. I try not to judge but inevitably it happens.

It means I should try my best to understand; because I can judge nothing I do not understand. Sometimes I do this well and it is a triumph for both of us. Sometimes I do this well and it is something I wish I did not see. Sometimes I do this poorly and it is a funny 'truth'. Sometimes I do this poorly and make an @ss of myself. But I am always willing to consider an appeal. It is the same process I subject myself to - and try to judge the judgment passed on me as well. Going to heaven or hell does not rest within my judgment no matter what I decide about anything for others - I am not even certain that it matters how I judge myself. That is God's decision. MY judgments I question - I trust God's judgments.

Judge is a very much misused word.
We of course must make good judgement in many things and must judge things rightly.
But although we may rightly judge the rightness or wrongness of people or things we are not to judge people in the sense of condemnation or to write them off as not worth anything or not reachable by God, or to think we are superior to them.
Further, we often do not know the pressures or weaknesses or circumstances of others that they may have been under.
There go I but for the grace of God.
If we messed up seriously would we not want mercy to be shown and given another opportunity? So, as we should desire for ourselves then shouldn't we give to others?
Not always an easy attitude to have sometimes, admittedly, but surely a desirable one?

"among the other evils which being disarmed brings you, it causes you to be despised" - the source of which is either one of the catholic saints or Nietsche (whose background should be considered, despite his universally poor rap).
One must consider, if you are not going to judge, where that places you and therefore, whether your opinion (judgemental or not) will be considered by those outside. As a human, were you not created to make rational judgements (humanitarian judgements?) in which case to ignore your judgement ability is to belie your species?
On a more everyday scale, does this equate to people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? Perhaps the Buddhist concept of Right Speech (a person should avoid contentious words which inflict suffering on another - apologies to those further on with this religion) would be applicable? Lovely question!!!!

Read Matthew 7:1-3 carefully.
It tells us not to use a double standard when we judge.
Use God's yardstick.

One of my greatest weaknesses would have to be my rush to judgment. It is something I work to correct on an almost continual basis. The Bible states that we will be judged on the same merits which we judge others by. I sure hope not. Thankfully, though, God doesn't judge us until after we die so I still have time to work with God to fix myself.

It is part of the human condition to judge--it is natural---however when a so-called Christian passes judgment that someone else is "hell-bound"--they are not only spitting on Christ's teachings---it's also a sign of mental instability.

If someone is doing something immoral or just plain WRONG, it is your duty to let them know that what they're doing is WRONG.
However, if they continue to follow through with this action, it is no longer in your hands because you tried to get them to stray from sin.
Thats the bottom line. No yardstick required

Its human, but if you recognize that it is not your place to judge, and try to stop yourself in the act, you will find yourself judging others less and being more understanding!
