Judge not is what has been said, yet on a daily basis people judge without understanding their judgements or even acknowleding them. How unfortunate that they can not act as they preach.
Judgement comes in many forms....verbal....thought....image. How often do you hear someone complaining about how someone dresses, talks, walks or acts. These are things that make each person an individual and yet...there are those that critisize these same things when discussing someone. How thoughtless.
It is not up to someone to talk, dress, act or walk the way people expect it of them. That is simply hypocracy. If I have to dress to please you, to walk the way you want me to walk, to talk as you do, then I might as well become you and not develope my own person.
People wake up!!! Even Jesus didn't judge Mary, instead he took her hand and said "let he among you that is without sin cast the first stone" Take it easy people...there is more to worry about on this planet then how someone dresses, acts, speaks walk...etc. Instead of judging your neighbour, hold their hand and look for a way to save the starving children, stop the oil leaks that are killing so many birds, fish mammels. Find a way to stop prejudice of religion, race or sex. Make certain our children are well cared for and protected from violence within the home and on our streets.
What's wrong with you people!!! Wake up and take our serious problems in hand rather than to sit their judging something that's really not hurting any of you.
People must unite as one! People must stop fretting over meaningless things and begin to worry about what is truly hurting our planet, our atmosphere our children, our people as a whole. Unite and become one!
~Romans 2:1-11~ Therefore thou art inexcusable O man,whoseoever thou art that judgest:for wherein thou judgest another,thou condemnest thyself;for thou that judgest doest the same things.
ReplyDeleteBut we are sure that THE JUDGEMENT 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 judgement of God?
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forebearance and longsuffering;not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth the to repentance?
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgement of God;
who will render to every man according to his deeds:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality,eternal life:
But unto them that are contentious,and DO NOT OBEY THE TRUTH,but obey unrighteousness,indignation and wrath,
Tribulation and anguish,upon every soul of man that doeth evil,of the Jew first, and also of the Gentiles;
But glory,honour,and peace,to every man that worketh good,to the Jew first,and also to the Gentile:
FOR THERE IS NO RESPECT OF PERSONS WITH GOD.
You make a good point in saying that we shouldn't judge one another. People will forever be judging people, but the only judgment that is of any significance is God's judgement! And God is no respecter of individuality, he just wants us to live in a manner that is pleasing to HIM.
Also wanted to add the rest of the verse in regards to Jesus and Mary which can be found in St John 8:1-11~
In verse 11 Jesus says to Mary, after all her accusers walked away one by one.
"Neither do I condemn thee:GO AND SIN NO MORE"
I added this because it's power is undeniable! He showed her God's mercy and edified her by teaching her that it is sin that we condemn ourselves with. Jesus was slaughtered to wash us of our sins, but we musn't continue any longer in sin,we must walk without sin, because he freed us! Hallelujah!
