    The document discusses the concept of judgment in Christianity based on passages from the Bible. It distinguishes between two types of judgment: hypocritical judgment, which Jesus condemned as making judgments without first correcting one's own faults or showing mercy, and righteous judgment, which Jesus said to make according to God's word. Christians are instructed to judge righteously by first examining themselves, basing judgments on scripture, and rendering judgments with mercy. While hypocritical judgment is to be avoided, the document implies Christians have an obligation at times to make righteous judgments about false teachers, unethical behavior, or those unworthy of the gospel.

    Matthew 7:1-5

    Do not judge, or you too will be judged.2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

    What kind of judgment Jesus Condemned?

    Judging when one is blind to his or her faults (Matt.7:3-5)

    Judging without mercy- (Luke 6:3637)

    Luke 6: 36-37

    37Do

    judged.Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.)
    7/23/12

    The Lord is here condemning the spirit of censoriousness, self-righteously, passage (Luke judging without 6:36-37) harshly, parallel

    mercy, without love, as also the clearly indicates.

    If we make judgments without showing mercy, then no mercy will be shown when we are judged!

    7/23/12

    The point of judgment about which Jesus is referring is when the one judging has a fault within his life bigger than the fault in the life of the one whom he is judging. So this person is being a hypocrite in judging. That is the kind of judging that Jesus is condemning.

    So there you have Jesus saying directly judgment to and judge therein righteous lies the

    difference between the two.

    How do we render righteous judgment?


    1.

    Judge our selves first

    based on the teachings and words of Jesus (We will be judged by Jesus words and so we must live by them and judge ourselves by them each and every day of our

    3.

    Render judgment with mercy

    Let mercy and love temper our judgments.

    JESUS IMPLIES THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE MUST MAKE JUDGMENTS!

    It is after we have corrected our own faults Matthew 7:5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from

    your brother's eye.

    7/23/12

    Yes- if it is a righteous judgment

    We, as Christians, have obligations to judge certain situations. Jesus taught us to do this in regard to false teachers, people who are not living morally, and those who have proven themselves unworthy of the

    7/23/12

    gospel.

    Noif it judgement

    is

    hypocritical

    Jesus also taught us not to judge inappropriately. We should not judge hypocritically. We should not judge unrighteously, and we should not judge in a condemnatory fashion.
