Do not Judge
Matthew’s gospel records Jesus as saying,
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Matthew 7:1,2.
The apostle Paul writes,
“What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:12,13.
Someone said Christians are not allowed to Judge people period. That is not entirely true. We Christians have the right to judge those within our own faith, but only to tell whether or not the person is teaching the scriptures correctly.
We may also judge someone to ensure our safety and the safety of others.
We however have no right to judge a person and say where they will spend eternity.
Tony Campolo the American Evangelist said,
"We ought to get out of the judging business. We should leave it up to God to determine who belongs in one arena or another when it comes to eternity. What we are obligated to do is to tell people about Jesus, and that's what I do.” Tony Campolo.
Billy Graham the great American evangelist said,
Please think about it
