I may silently judge someone from across the room... and I find it harmless. If I judge them to be worthless, it's still harmless. If I take action, say by hurting that person, even then the judgement is not really the sin.<br /><br />I prefer MLK's ideology on the matter: judge based on meaningful factors. I won't judge someone based on their background, age, gender, or some other factor outside the control of the individual. I judge beliefs and especially actions, because beliefs are under your conscious control and I'm sure we can all agree it is just to judge based on the actions of others.<br /><br />Although... if I judge someone to be worthy of my scorn, I have no problem mocking them for anything, even an unrelated characteristic, whether they have control over it or not. This leads to some confusion, such as my decision to harp on this man's age despite the fact that it has nothing to do with my criticism. Why don't I stay focused on the one thing? Maybe because people are confident in their beliefs, but they are insecure of the things they cannot control, and it is my sole purpose in life to make fools feel bad about themselves (because they ought to).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-77685653750601445032010-04-04T09:14:38.923-04:002010-04-04T09:14:38.923-04:00'Sup Geenks

But it is hard to judge ones motives because we can't read their minds or know why they did whatever it is they did. <br /><br />When Christ spoke of "not judging others, lest ye be judged" what he was saying is this, you can't possibly judge someone because only I (God) know all the facts. So the "sin" in judging others is the fact that we place ourselves as equals to God. <br /><br />Geenks, let me tell you something that I believe the Bible teaches. Christians are not to judge anyone outside of the church. And as far as those inside the church are concerned, again, we are not to "judge" them, but to make them aware of their "sin" and to teach them and others that as Christians we should not be involved in that practice. <br /><br />How can we Christians be a light to a dark world if we are living in darkness as well?<br /><br />Does that answer your question?<br /><br />Happy Easter, late, feenofeenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483769284197614547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-13992073551778329812010-04-04T04:46:24.460-04:002010-04-04T04:46:24.460-04:00Some Dumocrats are doing what Hitler did when he h...<i>Some Dumocrats are doing what Hitler did when he had the Reichstag burned and then blamed his enemies.</i><br /><br />Time to apprise him of Godwin's Law and corollary.

And they all know more than anybody else, and will fight you calling them old, yet will fight the teen-ager working at McDonald's for not offering them a 5cent discount because they are a Senior Citizen. I can't figure them old buzzards out, but I'm slowly becoming one. <br /><br />Anyways, about your post, it's very good, and I agree.
