:) As I always say:

it is human nature to judge others. I have to make a mental note to avoid it. Here is my philosophy on judging others, I remind myself of it anytime I think I've passed judgment.
People often judge others for specific acts- not the cause behind the act. or worse yet, appearances. judgment is passed for certain character flaws and also for perceived flaws. Unless you are that person, you don't know their reasoning, their upbringing, their influences, or their actual value. Who are you to judge anyone for anything they do? (not saying you are, but getting a point across) We each grow up living different lives, making different choices, and each of us pay for or benefit from those choices and acts. Nobody is any better than the other, just different. Think of how many combined efforts have shaped who you are, what you believe, what you value, even what you wear... it is not our place to pass judgment on anyone else, they were given free will just as you and I were, and will answer to someone higher than all of us.

As far as I concern myself, i only have one person to answer to in the end and that's God. And I am the one who has to live with myself following whatever decisions I make. It isn't anybody's place to judge me, but if they choose to, that's their prerogative. I refuse to get caught up in a superficial world, limiting what I can learn from others, by simply passing judgment on something I do not like.

VERY well said, dear. If ONLY we all would pause before we judged others! Thanks, EC!

You can't judge people entirely on what they do without trying to factor in why they did it. But as the saying goes actions speak louder than words. Then again the also say it's easier to ask forgiveness than it is permission.

Only if they're hookers or cops!

I try hard not to judge people, but some of the way some people on QnA have treated me on here I have learned to treat them the way they treat me, nasty.

It is a myth that we should consider the condition. For example Murdering, Rape, Abusing Children can not be justified by conditions. It depends on your action. Some fall in to fuzzy area.

Most abuse to children cannot be excused......nor repeated.

It has been said that the what, when, where, and who pale in comparison to the importance of why. I agree there is no excuse for child abuse however in many cases the perp was the victim of the same and in my book worthy of pity equally as much as justice.

If you don't have a beam in ur eye you can help someone get the
splinter out of their eye..........................If not, then quietness is the
best judgement for both..........

If the person is bank robber or a murderer, I'd say it's fair to judge.
Dude don't you ever sleep? Me either. :)

You may not realize it, but we are on trial for our life. What you do and what you say can bring either a favorable or an unfavorable judgment. Should it prove unfavorable, the execution of it will cost you your life. The responsibility for passing such judgment does not rest on the shoulders of secret police, politically appointed judges or judges elected by popular vote. Is your Creator and the supreme Ruler of the universe, is your Judge.
If your conduct toward his laws and purposes has not been proper, you cannot obtain a favorable decision by resorting to bribery, deception or clever argument. He cannot be bribed, and there is no way you can hide anything from him. He knows your innermost thoughts. “There is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting.” Heb. 4:13; Ps. 9:7, 8.
It is not necessary for you to stand before the great Judge personally as you would before a human judge in order to be under judgment. From his lofty throne in the heavens he can turn his attention toward the earth and judge humans from there. “
In times past God overlooked ignorance of his commands and purposes, but he does not do so during the present judgment period. The world-wide preaching of the good news of his established kingdom eliminates any excuse for ignorance. If you value your life, you will not dismiss what you have just read as of no importance,( Matt 24:14)
