Luke 6: 36 be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful. 37 'And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.

Matthew 7:1
Judge not, that ye may not be judged, 2 for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you.


Why do other christian Judge others for what they believe sometimes?

Do you know what I mean? It's almost like believing in the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't cut the cake.

Just because other people may disagree with your own view in the way you see things, doesn't mean that we can't have unity in the spirit of the Lord, by having faith in Him, and sharing and rejoicing that the Lord Jesus Christ, has had an impact in our life, by restoring us to being able to have a relationship with with Him, and His Father when you pray you can know that they are always near by to listen to you, and to help you in your life daily, and care about everything that goes on in your life daily, and about others.

It's good to have a relationship with God, and Jesus Christ.

Thanks be to the Lord Jesus Christ for the Glory of the Father, for all that He has done for the entire world.

The Bereans didn't just accept Paul's teachings - they compared them to scripture. And we are commanded to judge and to test all things:

1 Corinthians 2:15.

1 Thessalonians 5:21.

If we didn't judge, anyone could teach anything, no matter how heretical, and we couldn't protest.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But people who aren’t spiritual[g] can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.15 Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others.
1 Thessalonians 5:
15 See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.16 Always be joyful.17 Never stop praying.18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 19 Do not stifle the Holy Spirit.20 Do not scoff at prophecies,21 but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.22 Stay away from every kind of evil.


There is nothing wrong with testing things that are said.

But if someone believes differently than you, even with using the bible scriptures, and a different view, on something that has nothing to do with salvation, judge someone that they are a heretic, if they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who died and rose again by God?

Why is that?


I mean the main gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, was about Him coming down, dying for the sins of the whole world, being rose again by God, (which symbols everyone will be raised again after death), also symbolizes that Jesus Christ has had victory over death, satan, his demons, and most of all of the sin that covered the entire world.

Anyone who believes in their heart that the Lord Jesus Christ, was raised again and believe and trust in Him, should be able to know that they can have a relationship with Him, and His Father through prayer, and growing in knowledge in God, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus pointed out those who were wrong.
Paul said to mark those false teachers.
There is just too much compromising today, that is why false teach has become the majority teaching today.
It is time to stand up for the truth. If you are not willing to do so, go set down and shut up.

Okay friend, can you give me the scripture where Jesus Christ pointed out those He was accusing that were doing wrong?

If Paul said to mark those who are false teachers, can you provide me any scripture for this so we can look at it together and learn more about what Paul, says about false teachers through out the epistles that are written and have talking about false teachers?

I can recall upon a scripture some where I know of in a place where it talks about false teachers, it talks about where they told people that they shouldn't get married and still abstain from certain foods.

I'm up for standing up for the Truth of Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, the life, and the only Be-gotten Son of God, the Messiah, the Son of Man, the Son of David, The Lord and Saviour, King of kings, Lord of lords.
Ain't doing your work for you. You look it up. Better yet, since you are so versed in the Word, you already should know the Scripture.

Romans 3: 22 and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference, 23for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --24 being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,

Romans 8:
38for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,39 nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.

:) I hope you all have a blessed night tonight, in the Lord Jesus Christ name.

There are two distinct types of judgement:

Discernment which we are exhorted to practice,

and condemnation which we are told not to do.

Hopefully this might resolve some confusion.

Thank you, brother MarcR for sharing this information with us.

The questions that I proposed still remains unresolved.

Scripture that talks about some of false teachings, prophets. This took a moment of time. :)
[HR][/HR]
2 Timothy 4:1-5
1 I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign --
2 preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,
3 for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the hearing,
4 and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.
5 And thou -- watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,

[HR][/HR]

In 2 Timothy 4:1-5 It talks about there would be a season when the sound teaching they will not listen to anymore but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachings, who have a way of tickling your ear, and will turn many away from the truth in the Lord Jesus Christ, that He came down, died, and was risen again by God, which we who are believers are able have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and His Father because of all the Lord had done, and we can proclaim this good news to others.

[HR][/HR]Luke 6:26 `Wo to you when all men shall speak well of you -- for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.

You can see if someone is speaking well of you, according to this, that is what was done with false prophets they were more well respected, because of the way they went about things, and this would not be so to those who are true prophets, because they would not be respected, or treated well.

[HR][/HR]

Matthew 24:24
24 for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.​

In the context here in Matthew 24, Jesus Christ was talking to his disciples about the destruction of the temple, great tribulation, and that He was going to Return. There would be many people who were leading people astray even those who had been chosen or elected back when Jesus Christ was going to return to gather His Church, and return like He said He would. There were false prophets that would lie saying here he is, there he is, or he is already returned, while they were waiting for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

[HR][/HR]


Matthew 16 11-12
11 how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread -- to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?' 12 Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Watch out for those who try to tell you that you have to live by the law and do all the religious ordinance, and watch out for those who tell you that the resurrection isn't real, because it is.

[HR][/HR]


Acts 20:28-30
28 `Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,
29 for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock,
30 and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
[HR][/HR]
There are people who are trying to tear you apart and not sparing the people, and of their own self shall there be men, speaking twisted things, drawing away students listening after them.

They are the ones who are over a flock of people and tending to them but doing in a way that is corrupting, instead of supporting edifying and encouraging to stay in the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.



[HR][/HR]


1 John 4:1-6
1 Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. 2 This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet[a] acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God. 3 But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of theAntichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.


4 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. 5 Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them. 6 But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception.​

How many of you believe that Jesus Christ came in a real body?


The prophet's acknowledged this because they actually saw the Lord Jesus Christ, in the flesh bodily, we haven't we have faith in whom we have not seen though we claim He came in a real body because they do, that is why we say that the Lord Jesus Christ, walked on this earth, God walked on this earth because Jesus Christ, was God with us.


[HR][/HR]

Matthew 7:15-20
15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.
[HR][/HR]​
Beware of those who act as those they are harmless and perfect, by the way they act because they can change, into someone that could judge you, or condemn you as a christian, even for being a christian but just believing in a different way, that is not in the same view as others. People who condemn others for their believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, in believing Him to be the son of God, just because they disagree and dis-ban and excommunicate is not showing love at all. That is why those who do this type of production produce bad fruit.


I worked on getting some things talked about as false teachers. Have a blessed Sunday :D

We are called to bring correction with-in the body if need be II Timothy 2:22-26

“So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.”

The heart is an idol factory, we love making a God of our own understanding to make us feel good about ourselves. We do not like the God of the Bible because He demamnds much from us not in works for salvation, but to follow His ways not ours and I do not like that and when I read the Bible it reminds me that He is the only way of salvation because salvation belongs to Him and Him alone.

And He hates the wicked and I can be wicked. Psalm 11:4-6 “The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.5 The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.6 Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.”

The base of every heresy is bad theology of the nature of God, many say they do not have a theology, but any thing you say about God is your theology, because theology is simpley your idea of God's nature and if that is off the rest of yout doctrine cannot be in line with His plumbline. It is like making measurments if you are one degree off, in 100 feet you are off by 2 inches, afyer a 1000ft you are now 20 inches off. This is why the Lord calls righteousness the plumbline. Isaiah 28:17-18

“And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plumb line; and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”18 Then your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; when the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be beaten down by it.”

I try to live by these Words of the Lord Psalm 119:171-173
“My lips shall utter praise, for You teach me Your statutes.172 My tongue shall speak of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteousness.173 Let Your hand become my help, for I have chosen Your precepts.”

It is so easy to make the Lord into a God that fits what we like over wht the Lord of the universe is.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16)

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." (2 Timothy 4:2)

Why is that?
You are making a judgment and an assumption here. Pointing out someone's erroneous beliefs is not the same as judging him or her, or branding them a heretic. Only God can judge that person and see what is in their hearts. In the meantime, if you assert -- for example -- that Jesus is not God, whereas the Bible clearly says that He is, then your error must be pointed out and condemned as false teaching.

Christians are not to tolerate false teachers, and indeed they are to shun them. Don't take my word for it. Study the NT and see that for yourself. Jesus said "As many as I love I rebuke and chasten..." So at the very least rebuking error is an act of love. Unfortunately, error has not been rebuked sufficiently and severely in general in Christendom, therefore Christianity today is going into apostasy.

This is pretty great scripture right here Johnny_B.

Timothy 2:22-26 New Living Translation (NLT)


22 Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.
23 Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights.24A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people.25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth.26 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants

It talks about winning people over to the truth by using kindness and gentleness, has nothing to do about judging.

Psalm 11:4-6 co-relates to some scripture in Revelation.
Isaiah 28:17-18 don't understand.
Psalm 119:171-173 This can be summed up just like Loving God, and Loving your neighbors as yourself (1 John 3:23)


This is pretty great scripture right here Lastofall, you shared with us too.

2 Timothy 3:10-16New Living Translation (NLT (16: YLT))
10 But you, Timothy, certainly know what I teach, and how I live, and what my purpose in life is. You know my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance. 11 You know how much persecution and suffering I have endured. You know all about how I was persecuted in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra—but the Lord rescued me from all of it. 12 Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.
14 But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you. 15 You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. 16 every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,

A lot of people use 2 Timothy 3:16 to refer to all of the bible, even the new testament, but really in it's context it is talking about Paul talking to Timothy, about how He teaches, and how He lives his life, knowing his faith patience, love, endurance, suffered persecution suffering that He endured, persecution at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, but the Lord rescued Paul, from all of it.

Then it is talking to Timothy, saying you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught, you know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you (Who taught Timothy?), You have been taught the holy scriptures from childhood (Old Testament), and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. Tells us that all the Writing, is God breathed, it can be profitable by teaching, conviction, for setting aright for instruction that is in righteousness (Talking about the Old Testament Scriptures), not the new.

I'm stating a fact that there are people out there that are Christian brothers, and sisters that judge other brothers and sisters out there, even if they do not agree with other people in their view, they are deem them as heretical or that they will got to hell, even while believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who came down, died, and rose again by God?

My question is still Why do other christian Judge others for what they believe sometimes?

You're not giving me an answer, you're just using stating what you want from your own opinion. I've used scripture to explain and clear away a lot of things.

Do you know what I mean? It's almost like believing in the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't cut the cake.

Just because other people may disagree with your own view in the way you see things, doesn't mean that we can't have unity in the spirit of the Lord, by having faith in Him, and sharing and rejoicing that the Lord Jesus Christ, has had an impact in our life, by restoring us to being able to have a relationship with with Him, and His Father when you pray you can know that they are always near by to listen to you, and to help you in your life daily, and care about everything that goes on in your life daily, and about others.

100% agree with you. There are ways and means of tackling opposing views and different interpretation of scripture, but we should always - ALWAYS do so with love and respect. Heaven knows we get enough grief in the big bad world outside of CC.

The simple answer: Because Christians are required to judge all things, and prove all things.

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1 Thess 5:21).

That does not mean that Christians need to label others as heretics, unless they do indeed preach and teach heresies.

Well MattG, you may say that things not pertinent to salvation does not matter. All scripture is important to apply our faith. How can we know for sure that God reigns supreme in our lives, when someone post something that denies the power of God. It would definitely weaken our faith if we couldn't apply Romans 8:28
[listed below in signature].


Mark 12:24: "And Jesus answering said unto them, do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?"

Like saying the "Sons of God" were angels mixing and having children with humans. All angels do only what God allows them to do. This goes for fallen angels also. James 2:19: "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." :cool:

Nehemiah6, brother in Christ Jesus,

You say Christians are required to judge all things, and prove all things.

You shared the scripture about testing all things, or proving all things which I have spoken about. I've already stated that there is nothing wrong with testing things that people say to you. I believe that you should go to the Word of God and check for yourself.

If you find a person that has a different view, your view may challenged and if you don't agree to that view you both have the right to disagree to agree, and move forward in unity in the Lord Jesus Christ, because of everything He has done on the cross, rejoicing for all the changes He makes in our life, and all He has done for the world, and how we are able to have a relationship with Him, and His Father.

Just because someone may not see everything exactly the way everyone else does, doesn't mean that He is lost, or that He doesn't have salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, by already believing in His heart God raised Him from the dead now does it?

What does Jesus Christ say about judging ?

Luke 6: 36 be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful. 37 'And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.


Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye may not be judged, 2 for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you.

Sister Deade, I agree with you that we can apply scripture into our own life, and live by them by living by the spirit captivating thoughts, and giving them to God, and to Jesus Christ because they want to know about our problems, and they care about us they are with us, and can hear us talking to them when we pray, and we walk by the spirit to the best of our ability, to Love God, and to Love others.

How can we know for sure that God reigns supreme in our lives, when someone post something that denies the power of God. It would definitely weaken our faith if we couldn't apply Romans 8:28?

Wouldn't you have to ask the person to get an understanding of what they think and believe when it comes to trying to understand understanding someone else? I agree with the scripture in Romans 8:28.

In response to Mark 12:24; this was Jesus Christ fixing a mistake on the
Sadducees part of believing that there was no rising again after death.


I would respond to James 2:19 but unsure why it was added really.

God bless everyone that has posted in this chat room, and has come to this site today :)
