God gave us the standards to judge right from wrong, but we can't use these to judge him,so--?

Question

If our ability to judge right from wrong is inadequate, then why does he hold us accountable for using bad judgement?
If he allows evil acts to be foregiven, and often allows innocent people to suffer, why do Christians say that we are, suddenly, not able to condemn the wrong that we see?
Does he expect us to PRETEND that we don't notice?

jjjjjj----Throughout the Bible God is demanding that we choose him over other gods, and that we should "choose" to follow him and his teachings.---Is he not asking, if not demanding, that we "judge" him and his teachings by those standards he has given us?
Are you going to continue to twist the truth so that it fits what ever you WANT to believe?
Where do you get these notions that are not addressed in the Bible.
Is this what we can call holy lying.

TEBONE---Don't know why you need so many words to say nothing.

Why can't you bring yourself to the obvious truth that these contradictions in the Bible are the result of lies that have been told by these primitive people when they wrote these very childish stories?

IOWA HAWKEYES---I think you "roll" the way that most 'sane' people roll.

SUMANKHS---It's amazing how Christians can make allowances for good murder and bad murder when they "JUDGE" their God to be right.
If we are not able to judge him, why are YOU 'JUDGING' HIM TO BE RIGHT?
When their god murdered all those babies, and mentally ill people with his great flood, the good christians all say---"O.K.--O.K., let's talk about ME and MY slavation and MY ETERNAL LIFE".

Answer 1

Yes, he thinks we're all idiots and some of us really are.

Answer 2

You have the ability to judge good from evil on the level you are able to commit the acts. Since God's actions are on a different level, then you aren't in a position to judge them.

Think of it as if you are an ordinary person., then you should know enough to judge the things in an ordinary life. But if you are asked to judge something concerning the merits of a physics experiment, then you can't judge it for what it actually is. You can only judge it according to your limited knowledge and experience of an ordinary life, which isn't substantial enough in this instance to properly judge it at all. To feel that you are capable of judging it in a thoroughly meaningful way would be arrogant at best.

Additional: Isn't it amazing how people will try to use limited reasoning to support their contentions, but refuse to allow others to expound upon that same line of reasoning if doing so offers up an opposing point of view?

Your ability to judge right from wrong isn't absolute, yet it is sufficient for the task of judging your own actions, which is all that matters.

Answer 3

Christians are to "judge with righteous judgement" (John 7:24). Our judgment of others cannot be based on superficial things like appearance or dress (see James 2:1-4) By making righteous judgments, Christians know the Sheep from the Wolves (Mt.10:16; Acts 20:29), the Saved from the Lost, the good from the evil, and the Word of God from the opinions of men. The Leaders in God's Church are above reproach (Titus 1:6) and they judge spiritual matters according to the Biblical standard. Christians live by that standard, and they call for others, including the lost, to do likewise. Must a Judge be perfect? The standard of measure for ourselves and others is not perfection; the standard is the Word of God. If we had to perfectly keep the word of God, none could make it to heaven. If we all had to be perfect before we could judge matters of right and wrong, then no person could judge. We could not call for Liars, Thieves, Adulterers, and Murderers to repent until we had attained that perfection. We can teach people of grace and forgiveness without compromising the Biblical standard for holy living. The blood of Christ covers imperfect people of faith, but it does not cover the sin unrepented of.

Why do we judge? Anyone must concede that judging is pretty serious business. We judge because we know God's will and we want others to be saved. A Judge must be knowledgeable, fair, and above reproach. A Judge must know the Word of God and he must practice it. When we judge, let us be like Ezra who set about to "study" the Law and "practice" it, before we call for others to live by it (Ezra 7:10). The person who does not resolve to practice the Word of God should not be judging others.

Answer 4

It's not true! We are supposed to conddemn the evil but not in a fanatical way. Rather, peacefully and by being a good example ourselves. There's a difference between 'good' judgement and 'bad' judgement. when we judge wronglfully such as prejudice, etc, it is wrong coz we are 'supposing' things that may not be. But good judgement is when we know good and bad, right and wrong and we choose what is better for us and our loved ones (we can only advise them though and only they can choose to take it)!

Answer 5

Just one more paradox in a sea of paradoxes.

Answer 6

I don't talk to people that don't talk back!! That's how I roll!!
