1 Corinthians 2:15 ,6:2-3 Its just the opposite for believers. Saints will judge angels as well as the world. Non believers use the verse of " Do not judge others" to protect their sins and cover up their faults.
Exactly, we must practice "Righteous Judgement". You must understand that your Judgement should only have ONE MOTIVE. To bring a person closer to God. Your Motive should be one based in Love. You should not judge a person if you are guilty by the same standards you are judging. Meaning if you are an Alcoholic, are you right in judging your Son who is addicted to Heroin? No, what Jesus taught was take the plank out of your own eye first. Quit Drinking, and then you can practice Righteous Judgement. You are in a better place to guide your son away from Drugs. That's my view of it.

Amen! People use this as a crutch and Satan knew this would happen!
Yes but who of us really cares what Satan thinks when we are directed to think on things above and not below my daughter, thus in Christ I speak and think not that I my own self am not corrected often for whom the Lord Loves he corrects over and over and over till we're all made likened unto the Son. ✌️✝️👍💖
JESUS is the very CHRIST God with us sweetheart. EXODUS 6: 3 JOHN 8: 56 REVELATION 21:22 JOHN 3:15 AND 3:16 💖. And on that Day as we are known we will know him 100% We are the CHURCH the Body of Christ his Bride . 😂💕. Let us all be found Looking up to be taken up because it's coming soon .
Satan’s not real. He is an image the Christian church propped up so that people had something to fear and to have a reason to follow their religion. It was religiously tactical at the time, but I am surprised it is not yet outgrown
Ain't there a verse in the bible that God will call some people to judge others in the end, because if there is I pray I ain't a judge, cuz I can't sit there judging humans of my own race to be sent to hell it would destroy me
We've all done it in error. Lean heavily on Christ in that moment and pray you fall not into this temptation. It's not easy alone but very easy for Christ to carry you through.
Amen and Amen!
Amen
Practice righteous Judgement motivated by Love from God.
3:10 more people need to hear this. Almost everyone who says don’t judge does judge and is a hypocrite. Telling people not to judge is like telling people not to sleep. Compliments are judging. Opinions are judging. Reviewing stuff is judgement. If you think murder is wrong you’re judging. And nothings wrong with that.
1 Corinthians 5 says not to judge nonbelievers.

Great video about judging appropriately! I'm preaching on this in the morning. Happy Sabbath!
As someone who is not part of the faith, but who's whole family is, the part that always gets me is not the judgement itself, but how one goes about it. To say someone's wrong is one thing. To call them an idiot for being wrong is another.
Forgive me for not knowing the part of the Bible, but it it goes something along the lines of "before you remove the sliver from someone else's eye, remove the plank from your own". I wish more of the world as whole could live by that
Matthew 7:3-5 ESV
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? [4] Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? [5] You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
We shouldn't address others sin without addressing our own and when we do, we should do so in gentleness using right judgement (Matthew 7:24)
Hope this helps 😊
Yes bearing false witness judging each other wrongly
True ! God said that a righteous man judge’s all thing’s but he himself is judged by no man !
You ever hear a word so many times it no longer sounds like a word?
We should judge the actions. We should not judge the person. Because person can be changed and his actions can also.
The Bible doesn’t teach that. It used terms like liar, adulterer, thief, murderer. Jesus said if you look on a woman with lust you are an adulterer, not just the act of committing a sin. The Bible describes us as literally having a “sinful nature”, as well as sinful acts. David describes himself as being sinful from birth. So we are born with sinful nature from original sin with Adam. We are not good people in between sins. According to Jesus, only God is good (himself) and only Jesus was without sin. If you are saying there are faulty ways of judging then you are right and the Bible explains this as the article paired with video states skillfully. If a parent has a daughter who is raped, they would rightly make a character judgement and never allow the rapist near their daughter again.
Thanks so much for this explanation
Thank you!

I Corinthians 5:12-13 NKJV
[12] For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? [13] But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”
It is clear we are to judge those inside the church, but God will judge those outside the church.
Good job

Great video but the background music is hard for me to follow the video.
I swear people be picking and choosing verses that they like and forgetting all the others. Judging is ok and you do have the right to do it if you do it with a good sense. Never judging stifles growth and without judgement you would be dumb. Judging and criticism is helpful and it’s how people learn. Some people are too scared to call anyone out for their horrible actions because they are to afraid to judge and they feel that it’s wrong. I do judge people but usually not off looks and I don’t like to do it too quickly. I also judge peoples actions for what they are, as people are not their mistake. I feel like the verse is saying that you shouldn’t judge people in a way you wouldn’t want to be judged(as in unfairly) and not “never judge”.
Haven't even watched the video yet but I will guess that it has to do with the fact the judgment is different from discernment.
Judgment is mentally putting down someone, for the sake of jockeying above someone in social standing.
Where as discernment is using the word and our conviction to know good from bad, right from wrong.
Edit:
If we are discerning correctly and righteously we should discern with compassion, for when we begin to look down upon someone else, that discernment becomes judgment, and thus is now going against God's commands.
A wise man
If I have sinned forgive me
Judgement just means opinion, it's impossible not to have one, the very fact that you are one religion and not another would be passing judgement on that other religion, like a Christian passing judgement on a Muslim or vice versa, unavoidable.
Stating what the Bible says is what we should do therefore, it's not us judging it is quoting THE JUDGE has said. That's the issue.
So is it wrong to tell an unbeliever “If you’re not a Christian and do not put your faith in Jesus Christ, you will be judged by God and sent to hell I don’t make the rules. His word is truth.”
When Jesus was on earth - he urged people to forgive and to abstain from judgment - criticism and condemnation.
Why?
Because when you judge - criticize and condemn others in any way - you will create a barrier between yourself and the other person which will be difficult to removed - no matter how much you may wish to overlook everything negative in them and become friends in the future. Unknowingly - what you reject in others will remain in your mind as a foundation for future discords which will build up and eventually outweigh the affection.
Unwittingly - you will say things in the future reflecting your underlying secret mistrust or displeasure. Instead of accepting the weaknesses of others with Love and helping them deal with and overcome their weaknesses - you will put them on their guard against you and they will never fully trust you. Your mind and their mind will have a secret battle which neither of you will be aware of consciously.
Cannot agree more!
Humans understand the doctrines of the Bible based on their current wisdom, virtue, and life experiences.
And everyone have there own different levels of wisdom, virtue and life experiences
Do not judge, for you never know all the truth......
I have had to judge a certain relative because of his very foul language and lifestyle that has gone on for literally decades even causing him to be imprisoned for quite a few years on more than one occasion. He doesn't even comprehend why nobody in the family wants him around them, including me, and I'm the only one who's tried to help him. To top it off he claims repeatedly to be saved but has not a single time in his life given any evidence of it. His frequent outburst of anger, extreme hatred, and almost continuous use of profanity, including taking God's name in vain has caused me to rebuke him a number of times. It has done no good whatsoever. I do not think for even one second that he's ever been saved and to not judge him and tell him he's wrong will only lead him to eternal damnation.
If you take God's name in vain in front of me and profanity flows out of your mouth, we're not going to be friends and I don't want anything to do with such a person. Don't misunderstand me, I've tried numerous times to show this person the love of God and how Jesus Christ paid for his sins on the cross. He knows the gospel VERY WELL, but has NEVER come to saving faith in Christ despite what he says. Furthermore, I question anyone's salvation who talks like that, especially if they take God's name as a curse word. Don't even try to tell me such a person is saved. They simply are not, period, end of story. My whole point is that sometimes judging a person is not only necessary but is absolutely the right thing to do.
It's a demon running his/her life. You'll need to take authority spiritually and order the spirit out of his life.
Them keep interceeding for him, he will be convicted of sin
Judge means passing a sentence or punishing, and not : knowing and telling right from wrong. When Jesus said, "Judge not" he was talking to both non-believers and new believers. But to the mature believers, "Judge righteous judgement," will apply. When he resurrected, he gave the apostles the right to forgive and not forgive.

Romans 1 has been used to condemn homosexuals. But the whole point of Rom1 is Rom 2:1 "You therefore have no excuse you who pass judgement on someone else."
God is clear about how he feels about homosexuality. It’s clearly a sin.
Dont judge by expectation.... don't judge by supposition... don't judge by belief.... don't judge by ideologies......
You believe people should follow your own path and ideas when you fail in your own Walk....
This has to be one of the out of contextual passages noted discussed by the world.
What if someone is part of the lgbtqtv community, and i tell them that whatever they do is wrong. I dont hate the people but i hate the Things they do. Is that sin?
I try not to judge because everyones got problems going on you might not know nothing about and hidden demons in the closet.
I wonder how you correct
The Bible says we shouldn’t judge however, many think that mean you don’t correct people when they sin and that’s not what it means at all.
I like this one, thank you so much. However, if we call out a sin that someone is doing or has done, is that a form of judgement?
You forgot 1 corinthians 2:12
My question is what does it mean to NOT judge the world, when we naturally make judgments about the world as humans? Technically, if a woman is promiscuous, she is in sexual sin. Should it not be brought to her attention what God requires because she’s not a Christian? Isn’t that just allowing someone to wander off into sin and NOT love them by calling them to repentance and sharing the hope of the gospel with her? My apologies if you answered this already. Pregnancy brain over here. 😆
Exactly! Not only does God command us to warn people, He'll hold _us_ accountable for their predicament if we fail to do so...
Ezekiel 3:18-21 NLT - If I warn the wicked, saying, ‘You are under the penalty of death,’ but you fail to deliver the warning, they will die in their sins. _And I will hold you responsible for their deaths._ If you warn them and they refuse to repent and keep on sinning, they will die in their sins. _But you will have saved yourself because you obeyed me._ “If righteous people turn away from their righteous behavior and ignore the obstacles I put in their way, they will die. And if you do not warn them, they will die in their sins. None of their righteous acts will be remembered, and _I will hold you responsible for their deaths._ But if you warn righteous people not to sin and they listen to you and do not sin, they will live, and _you will have saved yourself,_ too.”
@@1WhoConquers Well said brother
And the meek will inherit the earth who said that
This has got to be one of the most misused passages of scripture.
Christian - pass this correct interpretation on to your friends.
One thing I've noticed is that the people who repetitiously quote Matthew 7:1 like a broken record are almost always atheists/nonbelievers. I find it hilariously ironic how people who don't believe in the divine inspiration of the very book from which they are quoting - indeed, people who haven't even cracked open a Bible once in their lives - are quoting the Bible. Suffice it to say, they're misinterpreting the verse. People don't like being told they're sinning because they don't want to submit themselves to God's law. Instead, they prefer to twist God's Word into something that protects them from criticism.
I understand what you’re talking about. But even non-believers recognise the truthfulness of that command, even though they abuse it sometimes. We do need to become more merciful as believers. This is something that is sometimes slept on.
I SAY... Matthew 7:1 - "Judge not, lest ye be judged", should say, "PRE-JUDGE not, lest ye be PRE-JUDGED." Judging someone is not wrong. It's PRE-JUDGING that's wrong. Humans judge humans all the time. All you have to do is walk into any courtroom to see that. If I see you steal my car and I judge you to be a thief that is NOT wrong or sinful of me. But if my car is stolen and you LOOK like someone who might have stolen it - and based on that I declare you to BE a thief - THEN I am pre-judging you and that IS wrong.
what are people doing when they say Trump needs to be locked up??
You didn’t answer the question. What does Jesus mean when he says “do not judge one another.” All you said was what it DOESN’T mean. Surprised you made a whole video dedicated to answering this question just to not answer it. So please if someone could tell me it would be great thank you.
Matthew 7:1-5 show Jesus meant not to judge *hypocritically*
Stop bad-mouthing people as though you yourself are without flaws, fault or Sin. Stop gossiping about Folks. Stop dredging up people's past especially since you may not be aware that they've already been forgiven.
Problem is most people don't truly understand whats really going on in the Bible, they have been taught a false doctrine, and they look but can't see, they listen but can not hear the truth. There is a difference between judging and rebuking. Rebuking being correcting and warning. Judging being having the power to set forth a punishment. Rebuking is to point out someones sin as to give them warning, no different from if you see someone smoking and you say, hey you need to stop smoking you are killing your body and your smoking can lead to death, thus giving them warning out of caring. And they say hey don't judge me. Or if someone is stealing because they are hungry and you say hey don't steal because you know they can go to jail, and they say hey I'm hungry so don't judge me. But in actuality they did not just judge you but give you warning/rebuked you. They did not make a citizen arrest and lock you up or hand down any kind of actual punishment. Israel had their own judges and their own laws that was set apart from all other nations on the earth. They had their own judges, and these judges was like our judges today except their judges did it in a group as today their is one judge over each case at hand. When Jesus said judge not, He was saying don't be a judge, like if you told someone today don't go to college to become a judge because it's a very big and serious responsibility. Meaning you have the power to take or give life in every meaning of the sense. And to be a judge over them was supposed to carried out by truly righteous men that did not break the very law that they was punishing people for. This is why in Matthew 7:1-3 kjv "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
Because the same thing you judge someone on earth with is the same thing you will be judged for by YAH (GOD) after death. The only difference is they got caught in life and you didn't but after death those same sins/laws you committed and broke and thought you got away with, you will be judged for by YAH (GOD). This is what people don't realize or understand or comprehend of what's going on in the book of John when the Scribes Pharisees was trying to actually judge the woman caught in adultery. They was not just accusing her or rebuking her they was actually trying to have her put to death! This is why they was speaking of stoning her and Yahusha said let you that have not committed this sin cast the first stone. But they couldn't because He made them see that they where unrighteous judges and could not pass judgment on anyone least they also be judged and stoned. So they quietly creeped away....See it is plainly written here in John 8:4-11 "They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man,"
Noticed He said "Condemned!" At the end....
"condemned" meaning
/kənˈdemd/
adjective
sentenced to a particular punishment, especially death.
"condemned prisoners awaiting execution"
Satan has blurred the lines between judging and rebuking as to stop us from warning/helping one another. So we will be afraid to tell someone and warn someone we love our care about not to sin or break YAHS laws because we know they will just say what they have been trained to say...."don't judge me!" Or "you can't judge me" not knowing that we actually are not judging them.
Matthew 7:3-5
KJV Bible
[3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
[4] Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
[5] Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Luke 6:41-42
KJV Bible
[41] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
[42] Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
Yes he did answer the question, pay attention.
Judgement has a bad connotation, it just means to have an opinion, the very fact that someone is one religion over another would be passing judgement on the other said religion, so it cannot be avoided, the main point is don't be hypocritical.
The design is very MARITES
Wrong do not call each other names
Is being a Christian telling everyone there going to hell like social media platforms do
commit any sin!!!
And in another verse it says the exact opposite !
The Bible promotes fear and control that's not my idea of love you can't burn a person and love them
It’s called conviction, it’s supposed to guide you in the right path. Fear is your friend. The same way you feel fear whenever you’re close to the edge of a cliff and it starts to crumble are you just gonna ignore the fear and let yourself fall or listen to your gut and step back? The Holy Spirit convicts you so that’ll you’ll repent! Also. God doesn’t give us commandments to control us, God indeed gives us free will because he loves us. Its to protect us from the danger of sin. The wages of sin is death and all sinners go to hell without Christ. So, if fear doesn’t cause you to wanna turn to the one who can save you from eternal 11,000+ degrees. What will? Fear is good in this case. Many people who will be burning in hell would realize how much they took for granted the chances such as conviction to repent so they wouldn’t be there. Don’t be in that position. Today is the day of salvation and NOW is the time for Gods mercy. Many who end up in hell would wish that they were even more scared so that they’d have turned away from the sin and turned to the one who grants everlasting life. Make a choice and humble your heart don’t go at the Bible with a prideful heart….
