Christians who DON'T judge other religions, please step forward!

It's kind of ironic that you are having to post such a topic, because isn't it a Christian belief that we ought not judge lest we be judged? I guess a judgemental christian could then be synonomous with hypocrite!

the Bible have spoken on this issue clearly. that we should not judge others lest we will be judged. if we want to influence others by the way that we were brought up and educated, then let us do it the civilized way. however, i have noticed that there are some who will react vehemently once one comes up with a dissenting view. when this happens, i can always keep my mouth shut and stay away. i do not believe at all that bickerings can solve any issue. the best way will be to talk about things calmly.

Yes! And I'm hoping to find others too. I am Christian but I really don't see religion as the most importan way to judge people. I think we should judge people individually, not on religion or race or age etc. I have respect for everyone unless they prove themselves disrespectful. Hopefully Christians arn't getting a bad rap, because alot of us are pretty liberal and open minded.

Your question kind of presupposes that it is wrong to judge religions which is clearly a judgement you have made all the best urban

I am a Christian who believes that all individual has a purpose no matter what religion they are in. God has a plan for all of us. Being Christian is not a license of some sort to put ourselves in pedestals and be judges of those who are not Christians. A Pastor told me once "its easy to say that you are a Christian BUT how do you reflect it in your life" he said "Do other people get enlightened being with you" or "are they irritated with you because of your self-righteousness?" When i attend a christian church and i hear anything about judging other religion, i TRULY take a stand and leave. Because i believe it is not the way it should be. I believe that when we all die, we will face the LORD. Rather than be PROUD and look down on others. Wouldnt it be better if we are all looking forward... looking towards the LORD. And not checking other people out.

The people that work with me has such a variety of religions. Hindu, Muslim and Christian. I do not think I have the right to judge other people. Didn't Jesus say "let him who is without sin cast the first stone"? It is how we as Christians carry ourselves that might influence someone else to become a Christian. - Ronelle

I am a christian. I do NOT judge other peoples relationship with God. I do however disagree with some ot the practices of the othere religions. Unless someone ask me about God or my religion I will not push it onto any one. That is not The Way of Jesus. Just because someone does not believe the same way that I do does not mean that they don't love God and His Son.

Hello Miamilady, I was born & raised a Catholic. And, I reserve judgement until I can safely judge established patterns of behavior. The one credo that best summarizes my take on life is "Desiderata". So, fairness is a primary goal for me. However, once solid behavioral patterns are established, I believe it wise to review those patterns, and store them away as generalizations. It remains critical to remember that there are always exceptions to the rule, and to remain open to those variances. However, some dogma are so unwavering that adherence to those particular religious principles produce consistent, or nearly consistent behaviors. I think it foolhearty to ignore those established patterns of behavior. It equates to denying accumulation of understanding. So, essentially, accessing some pre-conceived notions is not only wise, but can ultimately be very helpful. For example, Taosists tend to respect all life-forms. So, I would refrain from squashing a bug at the home of a Taoist. friend. I value people who make good neighbors. People who treat others kindly, and respectfully. So, for example I would have to consider the pre-cepts of Satanism, if a Satanist was going to move in next door. I would employ my pre-conceived notions, and would watch my pets very carefully. My point is that as with most other valuable notions, balance is the key. Never employing use of judgement can be extremely hazardous. Always employing judgement based on pre-conceived notions, can be equally hazardous.

I respect everybody's right to believe as they choose. At the same time it seems that non-believers are always putting down Christians. Religion tends to be a topic that gets people heated up, much like politics. As Christians we are not to judge, period! If people come into our lives that we can't seem to reach some kind of peaceful relationship with, then don't have them in your lives but don't judge them. Same is true here on mylot. If you can't have a peaceful discussion about any subject, they just stay out of the discussion. We will never agree on everything and everybody needs to come to terms with that. God made all of us different and that is a good thing. I know I certainly don't want to meet another me! lol

I thought that was one of the most important parts of being a Christian. "judge not, lest ye be judged". We do not have the right to judge without knowledge. When I was a kid, I remember the fact that my Catholic friends were not allowed to go to my church and some Baptists were not allowed to dance. That is not my place to judge. I have had Jewish friends as well as Muslum, Buddist, and others. I guess I'm just different because I always wanted to learn what they believe and why. I actually enjoyed learning about them. Right now so many people are against the Muslum people. Most of the ones I have known have told me that the radicals are giving them a bad name. I have a hard time with people who would destroy a people because of what they believe or because they are perceived as different. That is not what Jesus said for us to do. Even the American Indians knew that we cant judge another without knowing them. I have known some people who believed that according to their beliefs, only people who believed their relilgion would go to Heaven. I was actually told that one time. I would not be able to go to Heaven cause I was not what ever religion they practiced. Just because I believe one way and you another doesn't make either of us wrong.

OFCOURSE IT IS NOT RIGHT TO JUDGE OTHER RELIGIONS. hAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THEAT PEOPLE SHOULD SHOW THEIR FAITH BY ACTIONS AND THIS WILL ENCOURAGE OTHER FOLLOWERS WITHOUT THAT THEN IT BECOMES USELESS AFTERALL WE DONT KNOW THE RIGHT RELIGION BESIDE GOD DIDNT SACTION ANY RELIGION. i THINK EVERYONE IS ENTITTLED TO HIS OWN BELIEF.

I am not a christian or any other religion but i deeply believe in GOD.I think it is not necessary to argue about religion and individual believes. My opinion is it doesn't matter what religion you are god is only one this world.Therefore i do respect all the religion and what their believe. No body has a right to judge others religion ,if you don't respect others religion it means you don't respect yourself.

I am a Christian and I don't judge other religions. I feel that all the religions focus on the same thing. "Be kind to others as you would have them do to you." Wether it be karma, or what not it is still the same basic principle. In fact I found that I have taken from some of the other religions. Like meditating, karma and such. I totally respect other religions. In fact I find it quiet fascinating.

Being a Christian myself I will say that judging other people or religions are against our beliefs. There are Christians out there that judge others and they don't even know it until after the fact. I have myself to. I'm not going to lie about it. But I have to say that anyone who reads the bible knows what is right and what is wrong, but it is how the individual accepts it and live by it. I know alot of Christians out there say that they know the bible from front to back, but the thing is... do they understand what the bible is saying? NO not just the words, but the meaning behind the words. Not all can grasp those meanings. The bible even tells us that God is the one that chooses us not us choose him. He also chooses the ones that he'll give the wisdom and the understanding to. It's a sad thing to see that Christians forget who we represent. Not ourselves, we represent Jesus Christ and his Father. We need to be examples of Christ by living the way he wants us to live. And that's just a whole nother story. But thank you for letting me share. And if have done wrong here, please find it in your heart to forgive me.

I hope you find one I was rasied MOrman and we arent concetered christians I dont know why the mormons pray to the samr god they do

I like all religions and realize that there is bad in every group. I seek similarities and often can find where I can learn from another religion. Consider myself, pagan, Christian and Buddhist. So go figure that one out. With Indian in my background that adds also. We need to communicate and allow differences while we seek commonality. I don't consider people that act out as the respresentatives of any particular religion or group. I think we are all really on the paths we have chosen and in the end we all end up in the same place. Just my thoughts though.

Hello, one here! Ok with the exception of Scientology that is, LOL. I believe we are all leading to the same God, just with different ways. So I really do practice live and let live. In fact I can’t stand those that claim to be Christian and they are just full of hate and intolerance, because they make me look bad for being associated with them.

I think that ALL religions should be open minded and not judge another for not believing the same way they do.

Me! I'd hope, anyway. Lol. I'm Christian, and most of my friends are either something else or don't care much about God so I'm used to it. The only thing that does get the best of me is when people who don't really believe in the bible, start justifying their (bad?) actions by it..just because they heard so-and-so say something and they didn't bother to check if it's true. Not believing equals to not studying it which equals to not knowing. That is by biggest issue and something I still have to work on, for sure. But it can really turn me off from a person.

I am not a Christian, I chose not to have a religion, but I do believe there is a God. But I understand where you are coming from, not all Christians are bad people, just like not all people who don't believe in God are bad people. Everyone has their own beliefs, it doesn't make them bad people. Some people on the other hand take it way to far and get everyone else the bad rep.
