So as a christian you need to judge another Christians behavior in order to tell them having an issue that damages their witness or well being, it would be a good idea to talk to them about it and help them through it if you are close enough to them for this to be appropriate. I think you are misinterpreting the bible. When the bible talks about judging I and most of historical Christianity believe it refers to one's salvation. I do not know whether you are going to heaven or hell only God knows that. But if my brother is doing something objectively wrong such as murder I can objectivity judge his action as wrong and have an obligation to inform him to change his ways. I can quote fathers of the church, several theologians that express this view. Peace. |
There's a difference between the 10 commandments, and things like levitical law and other old testament laws & traditions.
"Do not judge lest you be judged" - Jesus
