Christian are suppose to not judge anyone, but in fact they are the most judgemental , intolerant group of ppl

Question

If i understood correctly , arent christians not suppose to judge people as that is god/jesus' job.

But why is that they are the first to judge anyone different to them???

Also they love to chatisite anyone who is different to them, why is this???

If you a true christians supposed to love thy neighbour even if they not agree with other person's actions of lifestyle?

Obviously not all christians are like that, but i seen many who think they are righteous enough to judge someone else

For all calling me a hypocrite, i dnt pretend to be a good christian and then judge someone. Ashamedly i do judge people and i know its wrong. But some christians judge verbally chatisise people who do not share their same beliefs, then go and then call themselves a good devout christian

Answer 1

I'm glad you acknowledged that not all Christians are like that (I was a little worried when I saw your question) because I don't think I'm a judgemental person and I'm Christian. At any rate, I'm not sure all enthusiastic religious people know how judgemental they're being sometimes (I say religious because I don't think there's a religion that encourages judging). There are those who are hypocrites which is an unfortunate human flaw which can't be helped sometimes.

Answer 2

All I see you doing here is judging a whole group of people based on what a few did. Hypocrite much?

If I tell you that you did something wrong because I cared about what would happen to you, did I judge you or offer you advice? You could take it either way, couldn't you? You could say I was judging you because your action was not a good thing, or you could say I was giving you advice to prevent any further possibly harmfull behavior. If we speak to you in such a way that we are judging you, God will know it. If we speak in a way where we are offering advice and you THINK we are judging you, God will know it. Do you know the hearts of those who say these things? No, you do not. You assume you do, sadly you are likely often mistaken. You misunderstand someone elses motive or just don't like what you were told. Not all advice that is given in the world is liked, because it's not what you want to hear. Think about it.

Answer 3

I do know a few Christians who are judgemental, but I also know a lot of atheists who are very judgemental too. I have one friend who is a Hindu who pretty judgemental.
Anyway I think that it is human nature to be judgemental and someone's faith does not really alter this. I am not saying everyone is this way but many people are.
So to conclude I don't think being a Christian makes someone more or less judgemental, they just judge based upon a different criteria. Really their faith means they should not judge, their judgementalism is a personal failing rather than a religious one.

Answer 4

You're absolutely right - Christians should not judge anyone, so to those who do so, their position is indefensible. All I can say is that a true Christian would not be judgmental or intolerant. Whilst it is important to defend Biblical truth (as perceived by those who claim to be Christians) and expose errors taught by other denominations, such debate should never become personal. By all means, disagree and make a spirited defence of ones beliefs, but don't judge others. That's God's prerogative.

Answer 5

If you saw someone breaking a law, I bet you'd judge them pretty quickly. Or would you let a rapist or murderer go unpunished in the name of 'tolerance' and understanding? You know that there is right and wrong legally, so what makes you think that there is no moral standard of good and evil?

I can love my neighbor but still know that what he's doing is wrong as far as God's concerned. That includes a whole lot of things that are condemned Scripturally, including a couple living together before marriage. God calls it fornication, and if you've got a problem with that, then He's the One you need to talk to, not me.

Sorry if that doesn't suit your idea of how things ought to be, but God's not going to change His mind just to make you happy.

Answer 6

I'll give Jesus' response: Ye who are without sin, cast the first stone. We are human and make mistakes every day. We strive to not repeat these mistakes after being forgiven for them. Doesn't mean we don't repeat them, we just try not to. So I try very hard not to judge people, I may make decisions based on what I see, but not judge. Jesus "ate with the sinners" and based on His example, how can we not spend time with those who haven't accepted Him yet? Who would we witness to, either in words or actions?

Answer 7

Apparently you are listening to the wrong people. The Bible teaches that Christians will even judge angels. Then it goes on to ask the question: If you can judge angels what makes you think you cannot judge the things of earth. The answer is that we can and do.

Answer 8

"Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?"--1 Cor. 6:2-3

There is a difference in judging someone to condemn them, and judging between what is right and wrong, true and untrue.

Answer 9

Christian's are human beings also. Just because a person found God doesn't mean that they are all that and a bag of chips.

Not all Christian announce their Christian beliefs to everybody and their mothers.
Not all Christian judge.
You're making your generalizing because a few (which is too much) Christian feels that they are above the teaching of Christ. Why do you think why Paul wrote all those letters?

Answer 10

"judge not lest you be judged" this verse prohibits judgement of others,however other verses advise one to judge not neccesarily the person but the actions of that person so we may decipher if they are in the right or wrong etc. judging actions and judging people are 2 different things. as christians we should love all as we love ourselves,be cautious and spread the gospel. we shouldn't condemn a person to any judgement such as hell as that judgement is not for us to make. after all we are all sinners and we all fall short.
