![Should we judge others? Of course; just as we judge when to cross a busy road. In fact, Jesus ORDERS us to judge. Read Matthew 7, John 7, and especially 1 Corinthians 6.
Today’s secular society, along with some in the Church, use “Relativism” (all truth is relative so no one’s truth is absolute), or as it called today: “Tolerance." The NEW definition of tolerance says we need to praise and celebrate everyone's beliefs and lifestyles. This effectively stops us from judging anyone for anything.
Advocates site Matthew 7:1: “Judge not, that you be not judged.” Yet, taken alone, this is out of context. We need to read on in Matthew 7. The full text tells us to get rid of our hypocrisy first and then help out our brother who is wrong: “...then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye.” So saying we should not judge is completely twisting Scripture. And Jesus clearly orders us to judge in John 7: “Stop judging by mere appearances and MAKE A RIGHT JUDGMENT.” [Emphasis added.] He clearly tells us to make a judgment. But when we do so, we are to do it right; don't be a hypocrite about it.
The Bible's definition of tolerance is this: “Love the sinner but hate the sin.” And 1 Corinthians 6 is the nail in the coffin for relativism with its new definition of tolerance, which tells us not judge anyone for anything. The Apostle Paul said this:
"If any of you has a dispute with another, do not take it before the ungodly for JUDGEMENT; instead of before the Lord's people. Do you not know that the saints will JUDGE the world and if you are to JUDGE the world, are you not competent to JUDGE trivial cases? Do you not know that we will JUDGE the angels? How much more, things of this life? Therefore if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as JUDGES even men of little account.” [Emphasis added.]
Even in secular society we have laws, courts, law enforcement, settlements, jail, and prison. For someone to tell you we should not judge anything or anyone is as ridiculous as you've probably thought it is. | image tagged in christian,jesus,god,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3e699l.jpg)
