JUDGE NOT?...
I always get great laughter when I hear the secular world or those who do not believe in God or the Lord Jesus Christ, try to quote Scriptures from the Bible of what they THINK God speaks about judging one another, when they are confronted on an issue, topic, or problem of sins, faults, or wrongs.They boast out loudly trying to quote what God says in His Holy Bible about judging one another, and I hear such things as,"God said, judge not" or they say, "you can't judge me", or "you're not suppose to judge others"... suddenly they become or have a form godliness and spirituality...lol
I laugh first of all, because they SAY they don't believe in God, yet they try to quote His Word in defense of whatever the matter. Nor do they ever quote the complete truth of what God speaks about judging one another, or understand the words of what He speaks about judging one another. They only speak the first two words of what He says about judging and never go any farther with His complete statement.
If one is to quote the Word of God PLEASE make sure you quote His word in its fullness, in CONTEXT, not just the part you think is important or sounds good to your ears to whatever your situation may be.
FOR YOUR EDIFICATION AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHRASE "DO NOT JUDGE" THAT IS SO LOOSELY USED, MISUSED, AND ABUSED BY UNBELIEVERS AND THE SECULAR WORLD. HERE IS WHAT GOD SPEAKS ABOUT JUDGING ONE ANOTHER:
Matthew Chapter 7 New King James Version (NKJV)
Do Not Judge
7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what (the same)judgment you judge, you will also be judged; and with the measure (hardness) you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck (faults or sins) in your brother’s or sister's eye, but you do not consider the plank (greater sins and faults)in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother or sister, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? You Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s or sister's eye.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN CHRISTIANS ARE NOT TO JUDGE UNRIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR,BUT WE ARE TO JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY, AND IT MUST BE ACCORDING TO GOD'S STANDARDS BASED ON HIS WORD, AND NOT OUR OWN.
Many of you speak out about Versavia religious topics in her blogs and you say she is judging others, yet you start blogs judging and condemning her with your comments.
"JUDGE NOT" this is to mean first consider your OWN SINS AND FAULTS BEFORE YOU TRY TO JUDGE OR CONDEMN OTHERS ABOUT THEIR SINS AND FAULTS. In other words, sweep around your own front door, and make sure your sins and faults have been forgiven, before you try to sweep around (righteously judge) another's front door. But you first, make sure you have your stuff together, you cannot falsely judge a person when you too, judge others and are yourself in faults and sins, otherwise, the judgment will come back(measured out)harder upon you about your sins and faults, than what you gave out to others.

Hey 123, I love Walmart! was there just two days ago...lol I know you're not judging me, this is for those who are not so much judging me, but are indeed judging and condemning Versaviaand our Christian beliefs, and for what she is posting in her blogs. I thought I should post this topic because there have been some who have stated she was judging them when she has only been posting what God says in His Holy Word.
I shall talk to you later someday, presently I am all lost In "Chess". Sorry for that.
I believe that God is far far more full of love than you could ever understand. Your type of Christianity is full of thinly disguised elitism as I have said, you feel you have a gateway to heaven.... if you have, it is not because you are perfect, it is because Jesus died on the Cross for your sins, even your sins of feeling superior, remember the piece in the bible about the vain man who went to the top of the temple because he felt and said 'god I am a good man I pay my taxes. But, the humble man stayed at the back, feeling he wasnot good enough to be in Gods House, Whom did Jesus Son of God love the most ? why the less arrogant, humble man, you lack humility you just paste this stuff out and Ive seen you on Herbrew connections so what the heck are you up to ? You are also friendly with Keys707 and others who write here.... why the need for more people on here. Are we in need of convertaing? how dare you decide we are in need of saving.
I know plenty of Christian friends on here who could teach you a thing or two about humility, real Christianity and not playing God so get off your perch. OF course this will fall on deaf ears, because people like you have a gold plated path to heaven and I wish you would go elsewhere, How dare you imply by your lenghty and already known passages of the Bible that we as Christians need you. I dont, you are an embarrassment and will only serve to turn people away from our loving God. I pray you go away quickly.
?Your brand of Sugared up yet very right wing Christianity has no humanity and just reels out scripture... not a great way to teach. I have worked on the streets too, with homeless people, I hope they have seen God in me, and my actions. I dont go around preaching.
I think you and your friends on here are very suspect as I have checked some facts out. Why is your friend in Jesus on Hebrew site ? mmmmm. All things to all men. OF course I believe you are a nice kind gentle loving woman.... and you can self satisfy your ego by thinking I am angry, far from it, I am happy, painting away here my pictures and I have my scripture beside me and spend alot of time in prayer so dont think you know me. I just have little time for Zealots and Cults
I don't judge anyone and most the time
am very polite,
most of the Christians I know
are like you sister and you're just putting the info out there, you are just spreadin the good news in all of it;s Glory as we say,
and I am not like the others, if one wants to quote the bible
in the manner that you and the other gal I have read, I have no problem with it. I grew up around anointed people of God, it;s
also a first amendment right if ya want to do a bible study.
you would make a great church secretary if you are not one already.
most folks never grew up in the country and don't know it was the church that held everything together in a wholesome fun way,
but after going on to doing weekend warrior church work and doing
it in the city cause we were so simple and nice and folks loved us
cause of the country music, the devil started showing up to rob my
nice cargo trailers and coach so I have had to Enlist the Judgement
of mr smith and mr wesson and mr walker who is a convert &
has in God we Trust engraved on him.
now for the naysayers, God does endorse self defense just read about David and Goliath or Luke 22:36 the red ink
I read a lot of these forums where folks are posting their religious beliefs and what I tend to mostly see is folks who have no tolerance for anything outside their own beliefs, all too often. There are folks attacking people for voicing their own opinion, not just on religious topics but on almost any topic on these forums.
I have to wonder why that happens. I mean really, do folks not understand that every person on this planet is entitled to believe whatever they choose to believe??
It is ok that we all have different opinions. why folks opt to "judge" someone based on that person having a different opinion will always be a mystery to me. I always figured if someone wants to judge me, unless they are perfect, what does it really matter what they think of me?? I know what I am about and I know I am a good person who genuinely cares about others
So if someone is "judging" you. take to heart that what is really happening, in my humble opinion only, is that they are just unhappy with themselves and you are the easiest target to take that frustration out on and they try to do it by somehow trying to belittle the person with the different opinion
I am glad to see that you did take the time to post this and you are correct, in my opinion, with what you post
I just wish that those that want to "annihilate" you for posting your opinion, take the time to view their own selves first. The one thing in this world we are all entitled to is our own opinion and what we don't have to do is defend ourselves against those that judge us. That will be left to God to sort out
