Am I fit to judge other Christians ?

Berean Study Bible Galatians 6:1
Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

What does scripture say about restoring a believer in the walk, path?

We do try to reach the lost and the afraid with the gospel message, and many are unaware that what they are doing is sin. I never forget how flawed I am because of sin, but I also never forget what was used with me when I was confronted to determine exactly what my sins were.

What would you do, or recommend someone else do, if someone asked: "Tell me, what specifically is sin, and why should I turn from it?"

Christians should Make judgements about all things pertaining to thier own life based on Gods word ,because they will Be the one to answer for all those things we control and choose and do and say

but in order to correct and judge others , we need to look in the mirror first and see if we ourselves can agree with Jesus Christ before we think to correct others regarding the truth . What I’ve found is almost everyone that is judge mental towards others will avoid what Jesus taught and explain why it doesn’t apply.

notice judging others isn’t just “ frowned upon “ There’s a consequence also for judging others according to the Lord I mean not theology agreed upon by people but just what Jesus said was salvation when he taught it

“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?

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?

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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If we want to set judgement for others we need to first see if we can even listen to Gods word without rejecting it could you sit among believers and hear the sermon on the Mount and believe ?

this is a small sample

“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:3-12, 22, 28-29, 32, 39-48‬ ‭

if we can hear things like this and go away feeling we don’t have a pretty large plank in our vision , and a lot of room to repent and turn to his ways and accept that we need Tim learn about forgiveness and mercy like he said to be saved because we’re already sinners we need to change our judgement over to Jesus judgements like above I think we are fit to judge people when we can walk out the gospel in our own life

or if we have to explain why Jesus words don’t have any meaning and we don’t need to hear and believe his word to have godly judgement in that case we’re just avoiding the truth and pretending because we can’t face it

but then if it humbled us to hear the gospel preaching of the lord Jesus , and made us think “Maybe I’m not as righteous and obedient to the gospel as I reckoned myself before I heard and believed the lord “

of it makes us think “ I really
Need a lot of help and mercy from the lord spirit to change my ways , to his ways , because I don’t fit the bill yet but I believe “

then we are going to find eternal
Life by faith and realize we’re not meant to judge each other’s sins , edify yes , point to Gods call to repentance for all Of us yes. Discuss price talk some terrible thing someone did , yes

go around with a judge mental attitude and spirit as if we are something special and better than those sinners over there or someone needs to believe in me to be saved , emphatically NO

Christians will Never judge you by your sins they will be telling you about Jesus who is able to take those sins away that’s my take I’m nOt fit to judge anyone else in Christ , but I do personally know the judge like you do 😍🙏😇 and he’s given his judgements that can change our thinking and ways. If we hear and believe we can receive good judgement

and it’s great because only Jesus can judge you others can make the attempt but it’s just thier own avoidance of the gospel truth

we should look to the things Jesus taught about salvstion and turn our understanding and faith towards him

but the thing is who’s filled with the Holy Spirit and actually called rimless the church ?

amen the gentleness part is important , but the process is explained by Jesus it is to Be done in private between the person who thinks it’s important to mention they are to go privately not call a crowd

Galatians 6:1
Berean Study Bible
"Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted."
Real Christians have a conscience. Over the years, I've been corrected a number of times. It was done in love and I am thankful now. I can't say that I was so happy at the time. Lord Jesus came to set captives free. Being a slave to pride or rebellion, hate or unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment and such is to be in bondage.

Sometimes we see problems and we take them to the Lord. That's the best way. Sometimes we are blind and we need someone else to point it out. I've been helped both ways. Seeing it yourself is a good thing, as long as we don't get so overcome by problems that they become larger than God's grace. Satan is the accuser of the brethren, not God.

If problems were dealt with early in the Christian's life, it makes it easier down the track. Getting saved is the easiest thing there is. It's God's work. Being set free (the salvation of the soul) is a lifetime work and can be traumatic. To be born again costs nothing. To be spiritual costs everything. Some have allowed the log to be taken out of their eyes. They are qualified to help others.

We dare not become self righteous pharisees seeking to correct every perceived flaw in everyone's character. Lord Jesus is the Author and finisher of our faith. But there are times when it is necessary to rebuke or correct someone. Paul was not afraid to point out Peter's hypocrisy. Peter did not turn away from Paul, instead he accepted the rebuke. Sure it's hard. We risk losing a brother if we correct him. But it is better than watching him fall into deeper sin and creating more grief for himself.

I regularly pray for wisdom. We all need it when dealing with the brethren.

@Pilgrimshope you are only fit to Judge me if you have a rod of iron to wack me with.. now Judge that and rebuke me.

Your example may be relevant in the case of interacting with the unsaved, but it is completely unhelpful with regard to interacting with fellow Christians, particularly on this forum.

I think you may be mixing up judging by being a hypocrite. Thats what all those pieces of scripture are referring to, especially the log in the eye. because don't forget, Jesus actually called upon us to judge as well...
"Judge them by their fruits"
I think you might also be attaching judgement to hate. Some people do and we should try our best not to do that

ahh so probably any response I offered from scripture would be irrelevant I still think that’s a perfect example of one person judging another person in the presence of Jesus Christ

here’s another perfect example of having a judgemental heart even in prayer folks judge others and exalt themself to judge of the other watch who is the one who gets justified the one who was judging himself not the other guy

“Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭18:10-14‬ ‭

even in prayer some judge others and some judge thier own self and follow mercy

listen you guys are all free to rebuke and correct people I’m not saying you aren’t free to assume that role I’m saying this part

“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭2:1-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

my point is that if we want to be the ones keeping others in line we better be walking a really straight line according to the word of God first and I personally still stumble and swerve sometimes so I’m not going to pretend I have any judgement over someone others can I’m not gonna go there

I also am not subject to anyone else’s judgement which is I think tbt issue some of us see ourself as filled with the Holy Spirit bit all the others they are subject to our judgement we only are judged by God but they “were supposed to jidge because were spiritual they aren’t “

I don’t see it that way I think anyone who believes and is baptized has the spirit and has only the one judge and those he himself appoints. Which we can know who they are because they will be doing thy works of the judges filled with the Holy


The repentance he’s talking about is for the ones judging others and then sometime they end up song the same things condemning their self by the judgement they make of others

it’s nothing to me if others are the judges I’m just making the point when people do that it doesn’t hold Gods authority , and it only is then judging their self the other persons going to be judged by Jesus and thier faith in him

FYI, using very large, bold font in your posts is a great way to ensure that I won't read them. There is no need for such excessive emphasis. It actually makes your posts harder to read, not easier.

To the context of your post: we should indeed consider our own actions before criticizing those of another person. However, having considered our own behaviour and corrected any wrongdoing, we are indeed justified in criticizing the behaviour of others. Jesus didn't say, "You have a beam in your own eye therefore you can never judge others"; He said, "First remove the beam from your own eye, then you can see clearly to help your brother" (or at least, words to that effect).

It's possible that God [did not] give you the Holy Spirit's Gift of Discernment. Discernment is a radar scanner for Demonic Presence/Possession/Activity. Discernment is also a radar for knowing when someone is lying to you, hiding something, not being completely honest. Discernment is a radar to know when you're around other Holy Spirit filled Believers in Christ. Even though, none of what I just mentioned uses the word judgement in it, it is all 100% judgement 24/7/365.

What you're discussing is a busy body with too much time on their hand, and instead of watching their own backyard, they are watching everyone else. They are a Pharisee, a hypocrite, someone with Discernment [like Christ had] would shut down immediately. That's what those of us with Discernment do!

Right so are you without sin that you should be e jidge is the question ?

a liar isn’t ordained judge of an adulterer . A sinner is a sinner no matter what they had done it’s not “I always tell the truth so now I’m everyone’s judge even though I sin in other ways . now I get to correct the adulterers and conveyers because I don’t lie “

it is forst have no impairment in your own vision (?you are completely there and have no corrections to make ) then that person should be judging everyone but who’s that guy ? Are you the sinless perfect judge of others ? I’m not is my point I myself would never bring shorts down from his seat of judgement , nor would I send his people to the deep by my judgement it’s his alone

what it we just told those sinners needing correction about what God has to say To us ? Wouldn’t that be what actually was able to correct them ?

so if we were to see Christians constantly judging others when they also have very evident imperfections also , should we join the accusation crowd ? Or maybe talk about not judging each other until we can actually see the things Jesus taught ? Or do we make our own judgements up?

we’re free to be the judge of everyone but the judgements are for us we should go to our judgement day having not been the corrector of others we should go there working on our own selves and not having anything against anyone who sinned against us if we do live
Like James said with mercy for sinners ta her than jidgement and accusation

when we go we’re going to have the judges word of mercy according to what we have done

So so you and everyone else have any corrections to make on yourself first ? Look at what God said and look at your own life

“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:27-31, 35-38‬ ‭KJV‬‬


just one tiny section tells us we have work to do on our self right ? That’s my point no One is there yet unless someone is able to be approved according to the gospel they need repentance themself to are my whole point let’s get perfect first before we judge the imperfect and that’s a pursuit even Paul was seeking
