Hey man I hope this is what your looking for. looking at your question I assume you want to know what the bible says about judging other people. I hope I'm going in the direction your wanting to know. If not let me know in an email. Ok first the bible is VERY clear about this subject in Matthew 7:1-5. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother. "Let me take the speck out of your eye." When all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
God the father is the only judge and he will judge everyone when the time comes. We are not good enough to judge others. God is prefect and omniscient therefore he will judge us in the end. I hope that helps some if not or if you have more questions email me.

In Matthew 7:2-5, Jesus warns against judging someone else for their sin when you yourself are sinning even worse. That is the kind of judging Jesus commanded us not to do. If a believer sees another believer sinning, it is their Christian duty to lovingly and respectfully confront the person with their sin (Matthew 18:15-17). This is not judging, but rather pointing out the truth in hope of bringing repentance in the other person (James 5:20). We are to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). We are to proclaim what God's Word says about sin. 2 Timothy 4:2 instructs us, "Preach the Word ; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage — with great patience and careful instruction." We are to "judge" sin, but always with the goal of presenting the solution for sin and its consequences

Judging is when I think someone else is doing something wrong, and that I am doing it correctly. When you judge someone, you judge them to be sinning. The Bible warns a lot about how we should never judge others. The Bible mentions a lot about how we, as individuals, should take care of our own problems and sins, and leave others alone.

To decree someone as this or that . To deem someone as this or that etc. Or to say what should happen to a person as a consequence for this or that. But most of all what God tells us about Judging is this. " Never call anyone a fool (racca) which means "unsaveable" . If you do this God says you are then liable for judgment yourself. Because only god is uniquely qualified to do so.

Just looking at soemone and thinking that their cloths are ratty and saying to yourself that they are a slob, and they might really be poor and can only by clothes like once a year, or from a soup kitchen.
Or seeing someone that is black and automaticly thinking they are a bad person because of what you see on TV, and they might actually be a pretty decent person who is filthy rich.

Are you referring to judge not lest ye be judged? If so, then we are not to definitively decide who is saved and who isn't. Only God knows who is saved and who isn't. This is not referring to specific sins that are clearly spelled out as sin. We can judge what is sin and what isn't in many cases and we should because how else can we choose not to sin if there is no way to judge what is sin.

Christians are called to judge for "indentification", but not for "condemnation". We are told to avoid all manner of evil; therefore we must judge for identification to see if this is someone or something that we should avoid.
However, we must not judge for "condemnation", meaning telling people that they're going to Hell. That's not for us to decide.

Who knows? I think the Christians change the meaning of everything in the Bible to suit whatever their desire is at that point in time.

judging is when you put your on own law instead of the Lord Jesus Christ.
