You can't put a label on my life. You want to know what I think about Christians? I think they're judgemental. Stuck up. And they think everyone else is wrong and they're right. I'm spitting the truth and not going to hide. Because hiding is for cowards, and I ain't no coward. I know replies would come back with excuses like "Because we're right. Aren't you a Christian too?" "You need to get saved" "I don't know if you were saved or not" You know what I'd say if I felt the need. "Shut It! You think you're better then everyone else" What does that say about you? Do you think God's pleased? I think not. You're so full of yourself because you think everything you say and do is pleasing to God, but it's not. Judging people, putting labels on people. You're no more worthy to him then they are. God wants us saved, but he doesn't want you to be proud about it towards those who aren't and judge those people for it. That's cruel and unusual unpleasant to him.

I witnessed cruel and harsh judgement from people on this site. Judging people from what you don't know isn't pleasing to God. Jesus had the right to judge because it was given to him from God. He knew everything about the person anyway. so tell me, Do you? No. So shut it til you do. People I spoken too on here I seen pride. Yeah I have discernment to see these things. People accept me, but I'm not going to officially accept them. Respect me for what I know and not just yourself to tell me I don't know anything. I accept you less when I see you judging that weak person over there, and I think God does too. So take a look at yourself again. And look at the things you're doing. I do that every day I constantly do that.

I can only speak and think for myself, but either you agree with what I say, or you don't. I don't hold myself up to be anything more then equal to you. I just have my own perspective and I don't appreciate those who scold me for them saying I"m wrong. Because I could say the same thing about that person if I wanted.


1. Eph 5:10-11 “Carefully determine what pleases the Lord; take no part in the worthless deeds of evil.”


2. Eph 4: 2 “Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.”


3. Ro 12:9-10 “Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with brotherly affection.”

Not having a label is good. I think Isaiah 62:2 applies to people, too.

I'm going to start off by saying, I don't completely disagree with you. A lot of christians are judgmental, and do act extremely prideful, myself included. I find it very difficult to minister to people who have had a horrible past experience with christians. In the shop I work at there are two of us who are christians. Myself, who tries to get into good standing with my co-workers so that I can minister to them more efficiently and they know I'm being on the level with them and not just shoving things in their face, and another lady who goes to the office and complains if someone drops the F-bomb. People really don't like her much, and turn a deaf ear to her. On the other hand when I talk with someone going through a tough time and I point them to Jesus, they never look down on me, and even if they think I'm full of BS they at least have the respect to take my words and listen to them without rejecting me.

On the other hand, I think your post is slightly harsh. Take a look at the last two verses you posted. Saying you want to tell a christian brother or sister to shove it is in complete contradiction to what your speaking. Your telling them to speak in love and be accepting, and yet your not. One last thing, I stated it on this site before and I'll do it again, "first remove the log from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to help your neighbor remove the speck from his eye."

In all fairness, not all Christians are like that... but some loud ones are.

Yea, doesn't that just get annoying? There's always some one who knows more than the other and insists you believe things their way. A lot of people call themselves Christian and don't know what it means. 'Christ like' is an honor, not a right. Those people will eventually be judged in accordance with their own standards. So keep smiling and doing what you know to be right. God's got this under control. He's good like that. :)

To be honest hun its not just christians its us being human beings its in our nature. Were just naturally judgemental sometimes. people like to use religion as a evil tool. but i say God is not religion God is a god of love. He doesnt judge people he wants to see us all make it to heaven not in hades. Some people dont mean to be judgemental they just get overwhelmed and carried away. and if they are being nast and judgemental then they do not have the spirit of God... dont judge all of us.. Even my self iim not perfect sometimes i get overwhemled with trying to save someone else and save their soul because i wont them to feel and share the same joy i have in the Lord but some people take it wrong and think your judging them.

yeah... I felt this too, which is why i lean on Jesus not the church, christians are humans, make mistakes, and sadly a lot dont go out of their church circle into the real world and are sheltered from reality in a sense. All good to preach it and hear it on sunday, but how bout living it too.

a lot of people judge. i know i'm not perfect. i never will be. i don't post things that judge. if i do judge its gonna stay in my head. because i shouldn't be judging anyway. so yeah. you're pretty right. christians can be judgmental. and it is completely yr choice on whether or not u get saved. no one should force that. ever.

A christian is a person who has accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour and have decided to follow Him and have eternal life.
After this acceptance, his Holy Spirit dwells in us in order to help us to live a life worthy of Him.
The Holy Spirit has a huge job to do because He has to change our horrible nature into the beautiful nature of God.
God does not change every flaw that we have at once therefore one will see the judgmental side, the unkind side, the impatient side etc. All these flaws will slowly diminish with the work of the Holy Spirit.
We Christians may seem like what we say is right and others wrong. This depends on what is being said. If the person is quoting something right out of the bible, then it is right because it is not the person's words but the words of God.
I do agree with you that the way some people have posted on this site has comes across as judgemental, however only the Holy Spirit can deal with that individual and change that person. :)
