Do you judge yourself before you judge others?

Question

where is the proof?... please do not give me bible quotes.. I WILL SKIP OVER THEM!! I have a bible.. ok? three to be exact!

Answer 1

I judge myself, but you know me Kadija, I don't care if the whole world thinks I'm a ***** as long as I know I'm doing the right thing

Answer 2

In answer to your first question...not always. I do judge others...it's human nature. I try not to but I'm not always aware that I have. When I become aware I try not to do it. I remind myself that it's a sin and remember that God loves each of us the same.

But judgement can be in many forms...even when we say something like..."well that's what so and so did...but I would never do that." Even with a comment like that you are judging someone and elevating yourself.

On your second questions...Where is the proof? I don't get what you're asking. Where is the proof of what?

Answer 3

I offer no proof other than what you can experience for yourself. I believe that, when we judge others, we are projecting our hope/fears onto someone else. You may notice that the behaviors that make you the most crazy are the ones you secretly fear you have. It is okay to see this, because it is just a mirror showing you what you need to work on and what you need to learn to accept and love about yourself. For example, if you judge someone as beneath you, because of the color of their skin, the clothes they are wearing, their educational level, or any other reason, you are really fearing that you yourself are unworthy. Learn to accept yourself with love, a lifelong process, and your tendency to judge others falls by the wayside. Judgement separates us, and love brings us together.

Answer 4

sometimes I do sometimes I don't

It depends on the situation.

Most of the time I try not to judge. We don't know all the facts nor others motives.

But when it comes to obvious things say someone shooting people at random at a college yeah I judge rather quickly. It is wrong and the person is wrong and there is no justification for what they are doing.

Answer 5

Here Come Da Judge!

If we judge ourselves the GOD won't have to do it for us.

I had and have several bibles too!
Over 24 years ago I had a Black one for War, a Grey one for Songs, a Brown one for Evangelizing, and those small New Testaments (Gideons?).
They were All Anointed by GOD too!
Ditto...........whenever I needed to know something, I would just open it up to the right page! Thanky Jesus!

Answer 6

By judging someone, you are telling God that He is not needed in a particular situation. You have placed yourself in His shoes by deciding what would be right or wrong for someone else. Your heart says, "God, I will decide good and evil here." Then you take great joy in sharing your "valuable" opinion with all.

The Holy Spirit dwells within me and I am in a purifying and refining process. I count my trials all joy!

Answer 7

You know what? I judge what i see in front of me usually. I need to look at myself first, but the truth is, i rarely do. Judgemental ism, on the other hand, is something i fight within myself, as i hate it when i am the target of that, from others.

Answer 8

I HAVE to judge myself however without knowing the motivations/intent, unless it's glaringly apparent, such as with hate speech of others it's impossible to actually "judge" their behaviors. I don't have a crystal ball to "judge", so therefore it's illogical... again, unless it's glaringly apparent and you can obviously discern the intent. Buddhism doesn't toss common sense in favor of logic.

Answer 9

Never - Bam! snap judgement of the other. Then after I am sure I have them all figured out; I'll often catch myself and reevaluate things.

I'm just as bad as the rest of them. A judgemental little freak. I'm working on it though.

Answer 10

Actually, I do not spend much time judging others...I am too busy trying to lead a decent life, and me...the one who has full control of myself, often fails..so if I can fail, everyone can. How's that for vanity?
