Should We Make Judgments?


There are those who say, "Oh, you are judging".  But the one who says this is guilty of doing what he has just accused you of doing, judging.  Jesus does says, "Judge not that you be not judged" (Matthew 7:1).  Judge here means to condemn with harsh and rash judgment when all the facts are not known.  It is bitter fault finding that Jesus is condemning.  But we all must form opinions based on facts.  Jesus says, "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment"  
(John 7:24).
