If Christian are Christ-like why do they judge?

I think that maybe the bible thumpers are not judging the person per se, I think they are judging the behavior. In the bible its mentioned that there is only one way to get to heaven so I think the bible thumpers are really saying "you aint gone get in heaven while you in your mess". they should teach rather than come at people in an accusatory manner, I think the bible thumpers intentions are good though.

To be honest with you, a Christian is a Christian and if they claim they are saved, they do not judge. But some who are not saved think they have the right to judge others, because they show as being saved. You know, those are the people with one foot over the fence. I personally believe if you are saved you DO NOT judge because you know that only God can judge. That is what is wrong with people today, they want to play God and no one can.

I have to ask just what you are calling judgment? If you are talking about looking down a nose at someone because they are unsaved or really for any reason I agree. However the bible says that by a mans fruit you shall know him. I will give you an example of what that means to me. I have an old friend who needed our assistance some time back. This person ended up abusing our good graces by coming for a visit then running out of money and pretty much having to stay at our home. We have 5 children and they have 5, 10 kids and 4 adults in a 3 bedroom home. Now we were a bit put off but we have always been willing to share whatever we could with anyone who needed it. Well after a month they recieved the money to get their own place and returned to the state they came from to get their things. (forgot to mention they were from another state) anyway when they returned they brought another couple and their 2 kids with them to my house without asking me! I lost it, but my husband had mercy and allowed them to stay until their place was ready, (utilites and such) Okay, I figure we havent seen each other in a long time this is just a difference in manners, no big deal. Until I caught this woman lying to me, several times and then her son stole from one of my sons friends. When I brought this to the mothers attention she said the other boy deserved it! So am I being judgmental when I say her son is a thief and she is a liar? By these "fruits" I have decided to not pursue a close friendship with them, I wish them well and hope they find God, if they havent but I am not subjecting my home and family to them on a daily basis. Some have told me that is judgmental?

I keep hearing this stupidity from all christians that all human beings are Sinners. Shame on the christian god that he cannot create a pure human being. if man became a sinner, the fault lies with the creator. creator should take the full responsibility of creating a faulty creation. god judged man wrongly, since then he is trying to hide his mistake by blaming man for everything. this god must be the greatest fool i have come across. if adam and eve committed a sin, then its their sin. it cannot be handed down thru successive generation for no fault of theirs. the whole thinking process itself is wrong, painting the whole mankind as sinners. the first sinner is god who was incompetent in creating. else he would have created a much happier, sinless humanity. he would not have created devil. surely this god must be the devil himself. devil loves to judge everyone except himself.

hi there i am a christian myself and i hope im not judgemental, but arnt you being judgemental to tar all christians or bible thumpers as you put it with the same brush?

christians are not christ-like, we are all indeviduals with diffrient mind sets so we will all judge others for being diffrient. even tho it aint right to judge we will allways do it. so judge who ever you want saved or unsaved you are doing the same thing.

Sometimes I think people get "judging" confused with discernment. As Christians we are not to judge the world but we are allowed to judge the church.

I believe it is human nature to look down on others when we feel we are doing something better than them. This could apply anywhere--parenting, living green, etc. This also applies to the Bible. If we feel we have better knowledge about it than someone else, or believe we are a better "Christian" than someone else, it is natural to pass judgement off on them. Of course, that is never the right thing to do. We must pray for God's grace to overcome that sinful urge and "Love our neighbors as we love ourself."
