Ok, I'm Catholic and all, but I don't see how anyone who calls themselves Christians can say?

I think you're right. We shouldn't judge people--it's not our place. We should take a stand on what is right though. And we should never call evil good....Show more

I'm sorry, what was the question?

We are not supposed to judge people, but we can certainly judge actions. You don't need to be divine to understand that stealing something is wrong. Or that demeaning another human being is wrong. Or that murder is evil.

While we can recognise that which is evil, we are not to place judgment and say with certainly about a person "You will go to hell" because that is not our place. We don't know their circumstance, their state of mind, or if they were repentant....Show more

You are correct. As a Catholic, I choose to not to judge others. I do not think that God needs my help in the matter.

No one can say that God does not love this person or that person. God loves everyone unconditionally.

No one should say that this person or that person is going to hell. Only God can judge their hearts.

But that does not mean that we cannot say that some actions are immoral or sinful.

"Stop judging, that you may not be judged." (Matthew 7:1)

This is followed by "You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye." (Matthew 7:5)

Put together this is not a prohibition against recognizing the faults of others, but against passing judgment in a spirit of arrogance while forgetting one's own faults.

See Romans 10:6.


Also, the final judgment has not happened yet. We are not allowed to judge, nor we do we know what Jesus's ruling will be. We may think we do, but the Bible says that His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. (See Isaiah 55:8-9). We are not all-knowing, but God does want us to rely on Him and to study the Bible. The Bible is a great gift, God has provided for us. There are people who have accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts, but may have little understanding of the truth. Our God is the source of life, truth, and love, If we do not value love and truth, then who do we serve?...Show more

You haven't been reading the Bible, have you?

Matthew 18:34-35

Or is this question directed at the Christians who condemn people? Then I agree with what you're saying.

John 7:24 and 1 Samuel 16:7 tell us not to judge by appearances....Show more
