What does it mean to judge with "righteous judgment"...?

What does it mean to judge with "righteous judgment"...? Or "right, correct, and just judgment"...?

Give examples or/of cases where or when or how we might judge correctly and/or incorrectly, or examples of where we or many of us all too often get this wrong and/or right, if you like, and let's discuss/peacefully debate, and/or talk about them maybe...?

Comments...?

God Bless!

This is an example:

Lev 19:17 ‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

If you see your neighbor stealing something tell them to knock if off.

And this passage explains that what we see for others sin, is wrong.

John 7:24
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

This passages defines and explains right judgment, with examples:


8 Open your mouth for those with no voice for the justice of all the dispossessed.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously and defend the cause of the poor and needy.


Here is another:
2 Timothy 4:8
Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge,
will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

So the poor and needy, rather than being jailed for being poor, are considered that their comming "wealth" is a crown and a "right judgment".

So instead of judging people based on outward appearances or their actions, we should consider their need for a savior overshadows any other considerations.
This is "right judgment."

John 8:15
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

Simply to make correct judgments, as opposed those based a prejudice, partiality and presumption.

Think of all the so very many factors that would have to be a part of truly right judging or judgment...?

Only a God, or the God can know right...? Or am I wrong...?

Along with all the so very factors that would have to be factored in, it is also a matter of that persons heart along or combined with all those factors as well...?

But let's drop the specifics of those factors for now, and speak generally or in general, if anything just to make things a little simpler and easier...

If a persons had a harder life or growing up than another, will that be factored in and them judged a little easier or lighter, or judged a little more leniently than someone who has not...?

And/or/but do some people bring a harder life upon themselves, or they are the cause of it mostly, and/or/but if they are, what then caused or causes that...? And does that have to be factored in also...?

I at least think that we may not all be judged the same or by the same standard, or held up to the same standard, across the board equally, and/or/but cause if we are, how then would that work or be just...?

What do you think...?

God Bless!
