scriptures about judging people.

[kenneth nathan]

Its a bit vague on this topic that its a bit concern for me. I believe you should never judge someone by their appearance. However, i feel like its impossible to not judge someone. When someone commits a crime, and hurts another person, i feel angry and they deserve to be punished. When someone is being rude and having a negative attitude toward people, my mind ponders about it, angry and wanting to confronting them. When I see people doing things that I find wrong, i am concerned about these things, it bothers me. I want to do something about it. Sometimes i dont understand why it bothers me. Why should i be bothered when its none of my business. Im not going to change anything. It will only causes distress and make me miserable.

Sometimes i feel there is something wrong with me, cause im constantly preoccupied with negativity and the toxic people around me. Its affecting the way i relate to people. I feel like im isolated and withdrawn. I constantly read the bible to help me on this matter. I feel like im stuck, something within me, is preventing me from fully opening up and cope with the negativity that surrounds me. Please help me.

 

[Look Up]

It may help in some measure to reflect on a "negative" social interaction until you find something in or around it that is worth your affirmation or praise or about which you can thank God. This is not to encourage praising sin, but exercising your mind until you find something--or things--about which you can be grateful.

Nor is this to encourage passing over sin as if it did not occur. Trust God for the final outcome, and beware of an imbalanced focus. At times you may be called to take some action (making sure it is wise).

Also consider carefully how you may have sinned in some way parallel to the sins you observe in others. That's humbling, but it may help. Then in your mind flee again to the cross and empty tomb of Jesus. Trust in Jesus requires patience.

 

[brinny]

We're ALL in need of God's grace, and we ALL have weaknesses and stumbles, even if they are not as "visible" as others' struggles.....

We PRAY brother, for others, for our loved ones and families, and for ourselves. We PRAY about the sin all around and lift ALL of what pains us to GOD. In the meantime we pray, pray, pray some more, and pray yet one more time.

We ALL need prayers. We are ALL in this together, and it is not known how many of those seeds you plant by praying will take root in God's own timing. As such, we're ALL in this together, including our pre-saved brothers and sisters to be.

Let's KEEP PRAYING. God CAN and WILL mooooove as only He can.

God bless you brother, hang in there.

Judging Others

1“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

I dont know how this would apply to me, when people's negative attitude makes me insecure and hostile. Its almost like an impulse, i get defensive and makes me wonder why can't they be nicer, it makes me think they could have been more respectful. They could have done this or that. My mind ponders on these things. I try my best to be an example by trying my best to treat everyone with respect. When they treat me badly, i cant help about judge them for there behavior. Whats wrong with that? Of course im going to have a negative opinon about them and judging their behavior, i feel is justified, when you haven't done nothing wrong to them.

 

[PQT]

Jesus told us that if we are His follower that the world WILL hate us. It is a portion of the cross we must bear if we are to be His follower. But before taking up our cross Jesus said that we MUST deny ourselves; put others first as we follow Christ's example. That means trying to see them as a brother or sister or hopeful bro or sis in the Lord, as Christ is not willing that any should perish. BUT we put others first not in a way which says I am less than you or I don't count. We do it as an ambassador for Christ, with honor for ourselves as well as others. It is OK to have righteous indignation as Christ when He drove the money changers out of the temple but one must also exercise self-control and recognition of the governing authorities' responsibility to handle it as God would have them. If they don't they will be held accountable directly by and to God. I would suggest that you get quiet and safe for a moment and see if there are some areas of your life where there are or have been relational boundary violations including abuse/infringements upon/exploitations of yourself which you have not addressed and worked through/resolved in a healthy, productive/satisfactory manner. Such things not dealt with effectively and healthfully can cause one to be "sensitive" in a number of ways. I have been this way. If you check my profile there are some books listed there which might be of interest.

Take assurance in knowing that we reap what we sow, what goes around comes around, leave it to God, pray for your enemy.

Forgive them, who are you helping when you forgive? Yourself more then anyone else. If you don't forgive this is a sin and you will be tormented, the people that have hurt you will be living rent free in your mind.

But making the decision to forgive is to let go, this will give your mind peace.

Whenever they come into your mind say I forgive you and God bless you


God bless you

I have no problem forgiving. But if they repeadtely put me down in the dirt, forgiving them i feel is pointless. When its human nature to be hurt, angry and resentful toward those who hurt us. Why is it a sin to not forgive, when such emotions make it harder to do so. How do we know if we have forgiven them, when people are repeatedly hurting us, making it impossible to forgive them. You cant simply say you forgive them, and its over. The pain, anger and resentment is always there. Even if you move on in life, when people hurt you, it leaves a mark, making it impossible to forgive them 100%. The way i see it, Christ is the only one that can truly forgive. We can try. You can say i forgive them. But that's not reality. You can move on with your life and forget such a thing happend. The scars are still there. Its not going to change how you feel about the situation or individual, you can pretend that your okay, when its not.

It's not easy and I assure you I speak from experience, I myself have been hurt and damaged by people, I have been brought up around very disfunctional people, I used to be very disfunctional myself, some might say I was demented.

But brother believe me when I say forgiving people can set you free from your torment.

If you don't forgive you are only hurting yourself, things will just roll around in your mind and torment you.

Whenever the thoughts come in your mind say I forgive you God bless then don't give it a 2nd thought

Before to long it will go away. Why bless them, because this hurts the devil, he wants you to hate, but God is Love, forgive.

Forgive and bless


I recommend you say the Lords pray 2 or 3 times per day


God bless you I will pray for you
