We don't always learn from past mistakes. 2. We cannot see one moment of future. 3. We cannot know our own hearts nor those of others. 4. We must examine all things by His Word. It is not hard for me to see my own inability so as to shrink me of all pride in self. Father I cannot see much but in Your Word I may rely upon You for all needs concerning this life. I need to lift up and not tear down; just as your Son has taught us to love each other toward the obedience to Your Word for in this is life both now and eternally. With this type of judgment we live unto His rule and judgment! For He taught us that He would rather be spit upon and laughed at than to judge wrongly of us unto God His Father!

But to have a Biblical basis on what right judging is, as a guide of sorts. Different kinds of "Judgment" In the Bible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
