Is Judging Other People A Sin?
“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.“
Jesus Refused To Cast a Stone At the Woman Caught In Adultery.
Jesus Did Not Judge Her!
Let’s Look at this, The Woman Caught in the act of Adultery:
John 10:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
It is Essential to Point Out That This is NOT A SALVATION PASSAGE. FALSE TEACHERS OFTEN USE THIS AS A SALVATION PASSAGE. GO AND SIN NO MORE IS NOT A REPENT OF SIN, TURN FROM SIN, FORSAKE SIN, SALVATION TEACHING.
JESUS DID NOT PREACH A SALVATION MESSAGE. JESUS SAID GO AND SIN NO MORE AFTER HE FORGAVE HER FOR COMMITTING ADULTERY. JESUS DID NOT CONDONE HER SIN. HE JUST FORGAVE HER.
The Key verse is:
John 10:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Adultery, …the VERY ACT!!!
The ONLY way to Prove she Committed Adultery was to See her Doing it.
Guess What Adultery Takes TWO PEOPLE.
As Always the Pharisees and Sadducees were trying to Trick Jesus into Sinning, Making a False Judgement.
Jesus Knew that It Was Against the Law to Stone ONLY the Woman. He Knew what they were doing.
By Not Bringing the Man too to be Stoned they were Breaking the Law.
Jesus Knew that these Men Were HYPOCRITES! LIARS!
When Jesus wrote on the Ground. He Wrote Each of Their Sins that they were Guilty of. All these Judgemental Men Were Making a HYPOCRITICAL Judgement against Her. They All had Committed, Sins Worthy of Death. Jesus EXPOSED THEM! TOLD THEM THEY WERE GUILTY TOO.
The Point of this Passage Is To Make Righteous Judgement.
DO NOT MAKE FALSE JUDGMENTS.
The Judgement was False Because the Man was Given a Free Pass. You CANNOT ONLY JUDGE ONE PERSON AS BEING GUILTY WHEN TWO WERE GUILTY.
Every time Someone throws this passage in my face I know they are Ignorant of the Truth of the Bible.
The Woman Taken In Adultery Passage Does Not Ever Say NOT TO JUDGE OTHERS.
It is an example of an Incorrect Judgement and Jesus’ Mercy.
Jesus could have said Bring the Man here too. Than Stone them Both. But Jesus was Merciful instead.
No. Judging Other People Is Not A Sin.
Jesus Told Us To Judge Others.
Luke 12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
In this verse Jesus’ Question is a Severe Criticism. Jesus is Upset that the Jews are Bickering and Fighting among each other and taking each other to the Courts to Be Judged.
Jesus’ Message is like a Parent Correcting Disobedient Children.
“Joey, and Sammy you both need to Learn to Solve your own problems. Stop Coming to me with your Disagreements. You both are old enough to Judge for yourselves what is Right and Wrong.”
“Joey, you were Laughing at Sammy’s Stuttering earlier. Judge for yourself, was that OK? Sammy’s Judgement was that you were Wrong to Laugh at him.”
“You Don’t want me to be the Judge!” “I am so Fed Up with You Both! If you come to me Again and Ask me to Judge Between you two, I will Not Allow you to See Each Other Again. I know Neither of You Would Like that Solution!!!”
The entire passage is below. Jesus is obviously Frustrated. He talks to them like a Parent talking to Misbehaving Children.
Jesus is called Rabbi, which means Teacher. As Teachers Frequently Do, Jesus is always Scolding the Jews. Treating them like Ignorant Children. Which in fact is how they behaved.
Luke 12:54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. 55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? 57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
Jesus is Upset. He calls them Hypocrites.
Luke 12:56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
Hypocrites
People that Cry: “The Bible Says Not To Judge!!!” “You Are Judging Me!!! They ARE HYPOCRITES!!!
They are JUDGING YOU!
AS SOON AS A PERSON POINTS THEIR FINGER AT YOU. AND ACCUSES YOU OF JUDGING THEM. THEY ARE JUDGING YOU.
THESE LYING FRAUDS ARE THE MOST JUDGEMENTAL PEOPLE.
I run into them daily. They are Quick to Judge Me. They call me a Bible-Thumper, A Holier-Than-Thou Jesus Freak, and much Worse. Understand the Vast Majority of these People Falsely Claim they are Christians.
When I point out they Don’t know what they are talking about. And give them Bible Verses, share one of my Blog Posts with them. They Go off the rails. And Play the Victim. “God Says Not to Judge!!!”
Jesus Instructions On Judging Other People:
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
John 7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? 20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
Jesus Is Being Wrongly Judged.
Jesus Explains that What he is Doing is Right. It is Scriptural.
Jesus was Not Upset with being Judged. He was Upset that the Judgement Against Him was Wrong and Unscriptural.
The Point Jesus is Making is when you Judge, Judge Correctly According to the Scriptures.
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. 23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Matthew 7:1 Is The Go To Verse For Ignorant People about Judging Others.
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
People are Seriously Illiterate. Matthew 7:1 IS NOT A BLANKET STATEMENT AGAINST JUDGING OTHERS.
As is common in the Bible God is Issuing A Warning. The WARNING IS NOT: DO NOT JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE.
THE WARNING IS: UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU JUDGE YOU WILL BE JUDGED TOO.
Jesus repeatedly in the Gospels, in his ministry is telling his audience to Judge Righteously.
That is also what he is explaining in Matthew Chapter 7.
There is Nothing Wrong with Being Judged as long as the Judgement is Scriptural.
Jesus is saying that BEFORE you Judge Others First Judge Yourself.
Make Sure you are Not Also Guilty of what you are Judging someone else for.
Jesus Doesn’t Want Christians to be Hypocrites. That is the Point of the Passage. “Before You Judge Others. Judge Yourself.”
The entire passage:
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 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? 5 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.
The Bible is All About Being Judged And Judging Others.
I know A Person Is Biblically Ignorant when they Say:
“The Bible Says Not To Judge!”
From Genesis to Revelation God is Judging Mankind. God is Telling Mankind to Read the Scriptures, so you can Know how to Judge Yourself and Others.
Everyone Judges People Daily.
You Judge a Person’s Appearance, Their Behavior, what they Say and Do.
People who Say they Don’t Judge Other People are Lying Hypocrites.
Women are Very Judgmental.
It is Not Even Close, women are 100 times more Judgmental than Men are, even more than that.
Men Don’t Judge Like Women Do. Because Men Are Not Look To Judge Everything. Men Don’t want to take the time and effort it takes to Be Extremely Judgemental.
Women Criticize Men for always being out of touch with everything. For being Self-Absorbed.
What Women call Self-Absorbed is Men Keeping their Heads Down. Men Don’t want the Conflicts that Women Start. So Men Keep to themselves as Much as Possible to Avoid these Constant Conflicts.
All of This is a Big Reason that Marriage rates are Greatly declining.
U.S. Marriage Rate Has Declined 60 Percent Since 1970, Study Shows (yahoo.com)
Men are Fed Up with Being Judged 24/7 by Females.
Men Don’t want This Evil in their Lives. They had enough of it in their family life growing up.
The Bible is Filled With Warnings About EVIL Women Being a Snare, A Trap for Men.
1st Timothy 5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; 12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
Proverbs 25:24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
Proverbs 27:15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. 16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
Proverbs 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: 2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. 7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! 14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Proverbs 7:5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, 7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, 8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: 10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. 11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: 12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, 14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. 15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: 20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. 24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. 26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
Proverbs 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. 10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. 11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. 12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
Not All Women are like this, but the Vast Majority are.
Most Married Men Ignore their Wives because they just Don’t want to hear them Talking, Talking, Talking and Ranting, On and On and On.
Women Are Never Satisfied with Men. They are Always Searching for Someone Better. This is a Big Reason for Divorces.
Men Certainly have Issues of their Own Too, No Doubt!!!!
Relationships:
When it comes to Male and Female Relationships (Females have a Difficult time being around Each Other too.) Women are at Fault for Being Extremely Difficult to Be Around.
Honest Women will Freely Admit all this.
Females Tell Men: “Just Deal With It!!! (Me! My Attitude! My Moodiness! How Bad I Treat YOU! etc…) I Am Worth It!!!” (All The Suffering I put you through is Worth It. Because I am Beautiful. I have Good Qualities too. You have to take the BAD with the GOOD…)
This is a very well known Common statement. I have heard it Countless times.
Females are Difficult, Moody.
They Know It Too. They Expect Men, Everyone around them to Just Blindly Accept this. They are like this 365 days a Year 24/7.
Do Not Buy the Excuse: “I Can Be Bitchy, I am having my period.” Women will say this even when it isn’t true. Also there are Medications for Women to take for that, that Works. Women that Are Bitchy Are Bitchy Because that is who they are.
A Woman Being on Her Period Doesn’t Have the Green Light To Be Impossible to Be Around. That is a Choice She Makes. Do Not Ever Accept That Excuse. Get Away From Her, Leave the Home when she is Like that. Don’t Take Her Abuse.
One Minute They Are Giddy, Very Excited, Happy to Be Around You. The Next they are Pushing you Away / Picking a Fight with You.
All Females Are Not Like this.
It is a Conscious Choice to Behave like this.
I have called Females Out for this. “You are All Over the Place. Pick a Mood and Stick with it. If You want to keep Being Rude to me I am going to leave. I am Not Going to put up with this.”
Her Reply: “OK… I Get Like This, to Spool you up. Sometimes I just want a Good Fight…”
I have gotten different responses.
The Bottom Line, if you call Females Out for Their Mood Swings, Their Odd Behavior, Eventually They Will Admit that They do it On Purpose to get you to Respond to them.
In general Females Don’t Like everything to Always be the Same.
They will have Mood Swings to add Excitement to the Day. They enjoy causing Drama, Fighting for No Reason. This makes them the Center of Attention. Men on the other hand are Happy to Not Talk. To just Relax.
Many Females Don’t Even Get along with Other Females.
Women, Girls often Don’t have any, or many Female Friends. Because they Hate spending a lot of time with other Females.
They Get along with Males better. In this Context the statement by a Female “Just Deal with me, I am worth it!” is OK. It is OK because a Female Friend is someone you are Not Tied Down With. You can walk away and leave them anytime you need to. Then see them again when the time is right.
Women Demand Men To Accept them As they Are.
But they Are Hypocrites because Women Don’t Accept Men as they Are. They go about Trying to Change Men to what they Want.
Christian Relationships and Marriages Work.
https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2023/01/03/christian-marriage/
Christians Don’t have the Difficulties I am talking about Above.
If You are in a Relationship like I have Described than either You, Your Mate, or Both of you are Lost. The Last Option is Saved People who aren’t Living a Christian Life.
Judging Is NOT A BAD THING. It Will NOT STOP IN HEAVEN.
1st Corinthians 6:3 “Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”
The context of the above verse:
1st Corinthians 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
A Spiritual Christian, is a person who has studied and understands Christianity, the Bible. Someone who is Devout in their Christian Faith.
The Bible commands us to Study the Bible.
2nd Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Spiritual Christians are to judge all things.
1st Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
A spiritual Christian Judges Everything according to the Bible.
