1 | Human judgement | 2 Cor 13:5 | d9uga | 70243 | ||
I think judging a person isn't right, but expressing an opinion about a person is legitimate. What is judgement (between 2 persons, not in the courthouse)? A difficult matter I think. But an opinion is quite easy. If a person said about me that I were to be an idiot, the man expressed an opinion, and this does not necessarily effects me. But if someone with authority were to say such a thing about me I would be sent immediately for a psychological observation in a suitable compound. In my view the difference lies in the question: 'Was anything done?' Comments? |

Hi d9uga, I don't know if I understand yet where you are coming from but let's talk some more. I don't know if I can make a comment on your statement except that just because a person is dumb or thought to be dumb is no reason to have a psychological observation done. I will say this in case you have a totally different thought in mind. If you mean by "was anything done?" you are thinking that our actions (good or bad) are more important than our words; then I would agree with you. You are interested in Romans 14:13. Let me put that beside the 2 Corinthians passage in order to look at the point that we need to judge ourselves and not others. We have to test ourselves to see if we are in the faith. And most important, we answer to God alone, not people here on earth. We all shall stand before the judgment seat of God and we will only give an account of ourselves. Romans 14:12, "So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this--not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way. I know and am convinced in the Lord (Jesus) that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean." Look at 2 Corinthians 12:20-13:3 and know that we should try to upbuild each other, knowing or giving the benefit of the doubt that Christ is in us. 2 Corinthians 13:3, "since you are seeking for proof of the (Christ) who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you." 2 Corinthians 13:7, "Now we pray to (God) that you do no wrong...verse 9, that you may be made COMPLETE." 1 Corinthians 1:9, "God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His (Son), Jesus Christ our Lord. 10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ/, that you all agree [speak the same thing], and there be no divisions among you, but you be MADE COMPLETE in the same mind and in the same judgment." We need to speak the same things in the same spirit of love. From the heart, Ray |

Dear Ray Thanks for the kind reply I'm from Israel thus doing all in Hebrew, including the typing of the whole NT into my machine. When this is done I'll have a first rate search engine and will be able to add phrase quotations. I haven't seen anything quite like Rom 14/13 yet, but I'm confident there are other similarities. Let em be a little more specific about people judging each other. I am a believer for the last 4 yrs and Rom 14/3 says that one must not judge another who doesn't eat meat. I work at a meat factory and once in a while I'm asked to taste a product before it's packed. The orthodox community where I live says that because I taste (and eat) pork, I could never be a good Jew. The community I belong to says it's ok. Have the orthodox people judged me? I think harshly May god bless u |
