Judgements

[Bluelion]

There are a lot of judgement going on in this forum. I am not above it maybe the worse of all offenders, but I hear God saying this is not what we should be.

Baptist fight among themselves, and baptist fight among other denominations. And everyone fighting with everyone over judgement. Is there a way to get the message across with out the judgement? Know one wants to be judged, and if we judge then we will be judged by The True Judge. We pick and pick at each other until we lose are temper, just today i lost mine on the forum. So as i am reading James God showed me what He had to say, and it was this.

James 4 NLT

Warning against Judging Others
11 Don’t speak evil against each other, dear brothers and sisters.[d] If you criticize and judge each other, then you are criticizing and judging God’s law. But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you. 12 God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor?


See the part in bold we are criticizing and judging God's Law. I don't know about you but I don't want to do that.

I've seen very little judgement of people. I have seen criticisms of ideas, though. Perhaps some folks hold so tightly to their ideas that they think criticism is judgement.

I guess you did not read this If you criticize and judge each other, then you are criticizing and judging God’s law.

It mentions criticize, which you admit goes on.

It talking about criticizing and judging people, not ideas. So yes, I read it.

so what's it called when some say " you have a lack of education" " you seem to fight with everyone one here" "you attack anyone who does not agree with you" and so on.

all those things have been said to me and many more, is that not judging or at the very least criticizing a person?

That would depend. Are those things true? I know you've attacked me when I've disagreed. In fact, your "I guess you didn't read this" comment comes off as belittling because you're saying that if I disagree with you, it must be because I didn't get it. The fact is, you used the verse incorrectly.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is from Satan.

Oh so you agree with those statement, so there for it is not criticizing, ok

I didn't think you read what I posted, that was all there was.

Ham I think maybe we just rub each other the wrong way, So maybe it is not fruit if we comment to each other?

I think it better if we can discuss things without overreacting.
