How can anyone pass judgment on someone elses personal relationship with the divine or the lack there of?

Question

It is by definition the most personal and intimate relationship or the absence by choice of such a relationship.

Answer 1

People pass judgement on others when they believe or are taught to believe that their way in the ONLY way. That is where the judgemental mentality begins. Most of these judgemental people really believe they are helping others to come to the "truth". And most of them are basically good people--so I tend to forgive them and just go on about my business. And, yes, our relationship with Diety is a very personal and intimate experience. Blessings.

Answer 2

Someone 'can.' It's always possible.
So the correct question would be, 'how dare they,' or 'why do they,' or 'in what manner do they go about doing it.'

A personal relationship with God bears fruit. Some fruit is 'fake,' if you want to put it that way, others are not. No one can ever know for sure, but we can make educated guesses.

One's judgment on another about a personal relationship with God should never be taken as fact - it is an educated guess, but there are many more variables that can never be pinned down completely. However it is based on evidence in the first place, and thereby it has a chance of being correct.

So passing a judgment on another is possible, and people do it, but it should be taken more as a warning or suggestion than a solid, 100 percent evaluation.

Answer 3

You are right no one has that right but Almighty God.

News flashhhhhhhhh!!!
But human nature being what is has become is now a knee-jerk instantaneous judgment call on anyone and everyone.
Check out the TV, check out magazines, newspapers, the forums...from the next door neighbor to Paris Hilton to the rain forests and the famine in Dafar...nothing is sacred or private....they judge instantly...facts or not facts...proof or no proof.

And from media talking heads the more personal and/or intimate the more they drool and knock each other down to be the first to pollute the air waves with supposition and conjecture.

Answer 4

What do you mean by "judgment?"
When a doctor looks at a patient, or when a man looks at a woman, he "judges" whether he is sick, or pretending, or whether he wants to seek further contact with her, respectively. "Judgment" is defined differently by different people.

Judgment as in court is a different matter altogether.

You can "tell by their fruits," whether this person is a bad tree, or weed. You have to be discriminating to tell whether someone is friend material. It is a matter of survival esp. now-a-days, altho it is politically incorrect.
The lack thereof, has burned more than one person, badly!

Keeping an open mind is good, as it may be that your own judgment may be biased, which is usually the case, unless you are the 'perfect' type;)

Answer 5

We are not the judge though it's humanly impossible not to have opinions. When a person says he/she loves God, but you see little evidence of it through obedience as specified in the Bible you can't help but wonder. It says that we can be known by our 'fruits'. What do we do for God? But only He who is perfect has the authority to judge. But we have to be discerning in order to pick our friends and avoid certain others. Read Matthew 7th Chapter, it tells more about judging and Galatians 5th Chapter, Vs.16-26 tells you what the 'fruit of the flesh' and 'fruit of the Spirit' are.

Answer 6

Man cannot pass judgment on man.
But at the end of mans sojourn the Divine will pass
Judgment on man!

It's a roll of the dice.
How shall you wager?

Answer 7

in specific cases God is lots from us. no longer because of fact He desires to be yet because of fact we push Him away. in specific cases we don't continually sense as on the portion of God as we would like yet they are able to and could exchange. shop praying to God to realize out to you and which you would be able to attain out to Him. Pray they you will sense this hands wrapped around you and which you might have peace on your existence. Christianity is a on an well-known basis conflict. we don't basically sense God each and all of the time well-known, we could continually actively seek for Him continually for Him to stay in our suggestions and movements. i've got faith which you're a sturdy guy or woman and God loves you lots and Jesus died for you! do no longer enable the devil make you suspect which you're no longer on the portion of God. do no longer enable him to make you think of which you're a foul guy or woman and their isn't any thank you to be close or forgiven by using God. God has forgiven you, now forgive your self and circulate on. anybody has sinned and fallen wanting the attention of God yet that's what Jesus is for, after we fall short, Jesus intervenes and consists of us by way of. take a while on a daily basis and pray and sing and compliment God. Ask Him to permit you to have faith and sense nearer to Him. God spoke back prayers continually on the final time. shop the religion and Kepp preserving on! God will see you thru! In Christian Love

Answer 8

Jesus said, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener,you are the branches. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while ever branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful." John 15:1,2; Jesus also said, "Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them." Matt. 7:20.

Maybe Christians aren't supposed to judge lest they be judged likewise; but we *are* supposed to be fruit inspectors!

Answer 9

Because when their "personal relationship with the divine" interferes with the politics that affect the entire country, then we can pass judgment.

Answer 10

We shouldn't judge others but being human we have an automatic tic when it comes to adultery, fornication, or drugs sometimes. No one is perfect and we have to remember that.
Jesus is going to judge us one day soon, I want to be with Jesus for eternity.
