Do Not Pass Judgment on One Another​

Rom 14:1 And him who is weak in the faith receive ye—not to determinations of reasonings;

Rom 14:2 one doth believe that he may eat all things—and he who is weak doth eat herbs;

Rom 14:3 let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.

Rom 14:4 Thou—who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

Rom 14:5 One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day alike ; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

Rom 14:6 He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it , and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it . He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.

Rom 14:7 For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

Rom 14:8 for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's;

Rom 14:9 for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

Rom 14:10 And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;

Rom 14:11 for it hath been written, 'I live! saith the Lord—to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'

Rom 14:12 so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;

Do Not Cause Another to Stumble​

Rom 14:13 no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.

Rom 14:14 I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean—to that one it is unclean;

Rom 14:15 and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.

Rom 14:16 Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,

Rom 14:17 for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;

Rom 14:18 for he who in these things is serving the Christ, is acceptable to God and approved of men.

Rom 14:19 So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;

Rom 14:20 for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, are pure, but evil is to the man who is eating through stumbling.

Rom 14:21 Right it is not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.

Rom 14:22 Thou hast faith! to thyself have it before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

Rom 14:23 and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because it is not of faith; and all that is not of faith is sin.

John 7:24
"Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”

1 Corinthians 6 BSB

1 Corinthians 6
Lawsuits among Believers

1If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints! 2Do 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? 3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

4So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church? 5I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers? 6Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers!

 

[MatthewG]

Typically, people show up in court and are judged. The significance of not judging others - is allowing God to be the judge over them. Now that is not say if you haven't heard of a crime that you should not report it, it's good to help solve cases that bring people to justice as there is nothing wrong with seeking out justice.

It is all about ' spiritual superiority '!
Some guy saying, ' I eat meat from from temples and I worship on the proper day, unlike you! '
Judging a weaker brother, showing off his spiritual maturity.
This is what we are not to do.

But we are to make judgements, on whether a set of behaviours, practices, beliefs are good.
Whether a person or group is mature enough to lead or teach, whether they have right judgement.

There are two forms of judgement we are not to do.
That which makes us look good and another look bad.
Any judgement that is not in accordance with God's purpose.

Thank you for sharing, Windmillcharge, blessed peace, Devin.

It's a difference of being discerning vs passing judgment.

As sinners, we have no leg to stand on in judging others' sins.
Only God, who is absolute holiness and purity, is able to judge us.

That said, we are to be discerning in our lives over who we listen to, who we support, etc.

Do Not Pass Judgment on One Another​

Rom 14:1 And him who is weak in the faith receive ye—not to determinations of reasonings;

Rom 14:2 one doth believe that he may eat all things—and he who is weak doth eat herbs;

Rom 14:3 let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.

Rom 14:4 Thou—who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

Rom 14:5 One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day alike ; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

Rom 14:6 He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it , and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it . He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.

Rom 14:7 For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

Rom 14:8 for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's;

Rom 14:9 for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

Rom 14:10 And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;

Rom 14:11 for it hath been written, 'I live! saith the Lord—to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'

Rom 14:12 so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;

Gee, I wonder who said "Yeshua BECAME the Lord God Almighty".
Utter blasphemy!

 

[Cassandra]

I don't know said that but we judge each other all the time here--I do it too. Maybe it's time for some soul searching

 

[Jack]

Actually I think it's time to defend the Christian Bible from Satanic attacks.

 

[BlessedPeace]

Gee, I wonder who said "Yeshua BECAME the Lord God Almighty".
Utter blasphemy!

Isn't it the JW's that teach that?

 

[Jack]

Isn't it the JW's that teach that?

Ask Matthew who teaches that Yeshua BECAME the Lord God Almighty.

 

[MatthewG]

Thank you everyone.

No this wasn't about judging others ' sins ', but simply a superior attitude and judging those who are different.

Once you find Christ you are no longer wearing the label,sinner.

Sinners cannot judge other sinners.This is true because they are all dead together.

Christians are redeemed from their sins. They are no longer sinners in God's eyes. That's why Jesus was sent and died.To make that true.

Therefore,we do judge sinners sins. Using righteous judgement.Because we know what sin is.And can inform those who know not,because such teachings from God are deemed foolishness by them.

And should the Holy Spirit move in them for it,the sinner may repent and be reborn.

The leg we cannot stand upon is the one that has us calling ourselves , the redeemed in Christ as his Saints, who will later judge the angels, unable to judge sin as sin.
