The Myth of Never Judging That we are never to judge is an idea not taught in Scripture. In the NT what does "judge" mean? In the New Testament the word translated "judge" means: try, investigate, inquire into, discern, pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence as the facts require], discern the difference between right and wrong, decide grievances, disputes, and quarrels, think over and make up your mind, searchingly examine, pay attention and weigh and discern [what is said], examine, test and evaluate. Do not judge? Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. Matthew 7:1 Amplified New Testament "7:1 Judge not. As the context reveals, this does not prohibit all types of judging (v. 16). There is a righteous kind of judgment we are supposed to exercise with careful discernment (John 7:24). Censorious, hypocritical, self-righteous, or other kinds of unfair judgments are forbidden; but in order to fulfill the commandments that follow, it is necessary to discern dogs and swine (v. 6) from one's own brethren (vv. 3-5)" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). A careful reading of the NT and a study of the passages in which the English word "judge" appears may surprise you. According to the Scriptures (see below), Christians are to judge: - all things - those who are inside the church - the world - angels - what is said or taught - ourselves So believers are to judge at least six different kinds of things or individuals. Scriptural examples of Christians judging are presented below. The following Scripture quotations are from the New King James Version (NKJV) unless otherwise noted. In quotations from the NKJV, all words enclosed in parentheses ( ) or brackets [ ] are from the text of the Amplified New Testament (AMP). 1 Co 2:15 (AMP) But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one . . . 1 Co 5: 12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge (pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require] AMP) those who are inside [the church]? 1 Co 6:2 Do you not know that the saints will judge (and govern) the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge (try) the smallest matters? 1 Co 6:3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels (and pronounce opinion between right and wrong [for them] AMP)? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 1 Co 6:5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge (to decide [the private grievances, disputes, and quarrels] AMP) between his brethren? 1 Co 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge (think over and make up your minds AMP) for yourselves [about] what I say. 1 Co 11:31 For if we would judge (searchingly examine) ourselves [detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition AMP], we would not be judged. 1 Co 14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge (pay attention and weigh and discern what is said AMP). 2 Co 13:5 (AMP) Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves... |

Dear Kalos, Ok, you answer Anglies question, was Judas in the plan or not? By the way I did not appreciate your 'answer', if it indeed it was an answer about the holocaust. I lost family. Be kind, there is whole lot more in the Old Testament because it speaks of Christ. It is an adambration of the new. Yours and His Paul |

Dear Paul, Our brother Kalos has been writing careful, cogent, and clear posts on the SBF forum for a number of years. We know him to be a fine Christian man, walking uprightly before our Lord, enjoying the benefits of a clear conscience. Respect is earned over time. Divisive, specious, or acerbic posts yield a very different result. Your careful compliance with the terms of use of our host will be appreciated. In Him, Doc PS For those forum participants who dislike labels -- particularly polysyllabic labels -- please avert your eyes. |

5 | Judas' betrayal | Matt 27:4 | brother paul | 179712 | ||
Dear all, I returned one post where I did not 'appreciate' the reply. My posts have now been termed as 'amusing', 'silly', 'devisive', 'specious' and 'acerbic'. I did not appreciate one post and now you threaten me with being banned from this site. I do not understand why simple disagreement should recieve such a response. If others can be direct and say what they feel, cannot I not 'appreciate' a comment? Where is the balance? Where is the offence? I did not 'appreciate' dictionary definition, 'To know, understand, to value', I did not appreciate the post. It was not to challenge what was said. Is this where we have two English speaking nations divided by a common language? My truth is your heresy, your truth is my heresy. 1 Cor 11:19, 'There must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be manifest among you.' Can we not debate our differences, can we seek truth? I am sorry if I have offended anyone, I try to come to Him as an empty vessel, I am not sure and know I need Him to bring me into all truth. Everything that is said I take to higher authority, to Him. I do not instantly jump to an already reached conclusion, His truth is deeper. Yours and His, in Him Paul |

Paul, Paul, Paul, 1 Peter 5:5-6 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. [6] Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: CDBJ |
