If God does not judge Its people,there is no authority or right
for us to judge others.The bible says let the one who is sinless
cast the first stone and all the people feel guilty because we all
have sinned before.God says even if you are right, you also should
not judge but forgive one another.I admit that I am also too
judgmental.Judgmentalism hurts others and brings damages to the
world.
it's taken rather out of context by ongsoonsiang.
the crowd which Jesus addressed to, at that point of time, were
thirsty for blood, and was about to stone a woman in adultary to
death. and they questioned Jesus, to test Him, wanting him to trap
Himself with His own words.
If He allowed the woman to live, He would indirectly be saying,
that he condone her sinful actions, thus He is over-riding the law,
and they could use it against Him.
But if He allowed them to stone the woman to death, He wouldn't
be the "sheperd who came to seek and save the lost", because He
didn't love her enough to save her.
But instead, Jesus, in His wisdom, didn't disallow anyone to
stone her, which was right by the law. but He pointed out the
hypocrisy of the action. Can anyone stone her without any
hypocrisy? and everyone knew they couldn't, so they left.
and Jesus, being the sinless one, could have stoned her, but
chose to give grace, and grant her 2nd chance in life. "Go, and sin
no more."
being judgemental would mean you're pointing out the errors of
others, without the intention to help the person better themselves.
you're more concerned with the wrongdoing than the person who did
it. you're eager to point fingers, to shame and ridicue.
but God didn't tell us to ignore sins. in fact the bible said in
Galatians 6:1 - Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who
are spiritual should restore him
gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be
tempted.
and TS was wrong in saying that God does not judge. God judged
the isrealites throughout the old testament. Jesus himself judged
the outward holiness of the pharasees and teachers of the law,
condemning them for putting burdens on the people without lifting a
finger to help.
and Jesus do judge the sins of the prostitutes and money
collectors. But He could see right through their hearts, and acted
accordingly. And there was repentance. sometimes he also became
harsh, and beat up those people who desecrated God's temple by
turning it into a marketplace.
You'll notice Jesus especially went against the teachers of the
law, because they weren't holy inside, but acted holy outside.
so i totally disagree with everything TS said
