Struggling with Judging

Hi. I've been saved almost 5 years now and lately I've really been struggling with not being judgmental towards others. Not towards those who are not saved but towards those who are and are great at teaching me and correcting me, as I'm still learning, but not great at walking out what they are teaching me to do. I really need help with this. I'm becoming very discouraged. Thank you.

We are not forbidden to ever judge ourselves or others.

When we judge we are to exercise righteous judgement.
John 7:24 "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

Judgement is synonymous with opinion.

My advice for the new Christian is, don't stress yourself thinking about having to be in lockstep to what you imagine are rules for getting it right.

You are reborn from sinner into one washed clean of all sin eternally, and indwelt by God as a new creation in Him.

He will guide your steps and thoughts if you allow your thoughts of what a Christian should act like to get out of the way.

Meditation is a great practice to achieve this life long practice.
Learning to quiet your mind and release focus on this material noisy world that makes our reactions and thoughts noisy in return, let's God's voice and leading enter in.

The cross has made you flawless. Trust God to lead you to becoming perfect.


God knew you before you entered your mother's womb. Relax. :)

Substitute the word "Damn" whenever you see the word "Judge". JUDGEMENT is what happens AFTER the "trial".

Thank you so much!
 
Let me share a parable to explain it easier. Once upon a time, in a village near the snow capped mountains in Australia, there was a wide three lane road entering into the village. This road had a speed limit of 55mph. A man was walking his dog along the sidewalk and noticed a very large pothole had appeared in the road entering the village. He noticed a late model Honda Accord with 5 elderly women on board driving towards him at 55. He DID NOT wave them down, nor warn them of the hole. They rounded the bend, hit the hole and crashed into an oak tree at the side of the road. No one was thankfully killed but the car was totalled and the people in front were badly injured. Now who is ultimately responsible for the accident? Yes, warn and judge people of there sin, otherwise they will crash into a tree and harm themselves, or worse.

Maybe have you considered that maybe "since you have become Now A "True Child of GOD" that your Father is trying to teach you something.

Now these are your words. "but towards those who are and are great at teaching me and correcting me,"

Since, you have heard the "Gospel According to Jesus Christ" and He has chosen YOU. And now you have been "Born from Above" and The "teacher" the "Advocate" the "Parakletos" has come and will be with you "FOREVER" and EVER, throughout "ETERNITY". And you Have Not only The Old Testament writings. you have the New Testament writings that The early church did not have nor could they read. The early church most did not know how to read. That is why one of the reason The Bible said:

New American Standard Bible
How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?"

How can a person "believe" in a man who they never heard of, or heard him speak? No T.V., No Cable, No radio, No newspaper, no cell phone, no telegraph wire, no mail or Pony Express. most were poor, and didn't have a horse they had "Sandals".

But they had "Heralds", "ambassadors", "Masters" and "Amanuensis' and paper had not been invented yet. and "Papyrus" was very expensive and not that easily to come by.

"how then are they to call on, or who to Believe in, whom they know nothing "ABOUT"or even "heard of"? And how can they hear about Him, without a "Herald" a Proclaimer an "Ambassador", [They cannot read, they don't have a "New Testament"] They don't have a"Bible" and most cities and Provinces only have heard of rumors "about a New Cult' called "The Nazarenes" and they drink blood and they are "Cannibals" they eat "flesh" and they meet in "Secret" and they married their own "brothers and sisters"! "rumors" concerning a new religion. Someone rose from the dead.:eyes:........ All of these greek centered Roman occupied Provinces were idol worshipers. "gods and goddesses" temples everywhere. And "Caesar was Lord". "KAISER KURIOS" INSTEAD of "KRISTOS KURIOS".

New International Version
"And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles."


'And for this purpose I was appointed a [HERALD and an [AMBASSADOR]=I AM TELLING THE TRUTH. I am not lying= and a true and faithful "MASTER" unto THE GENTILES"

MAYBE GOD IS TRYING , to tell you something and You are still "stubborn" like "Jacob" Wrestling all night with the Angel"

You prefer to follow and to please man more than "GOD" your Father. Maybe, And you have become a victim of "Anxiety" pull between The TWO! And when you chose GOD no one is on your side.

Now who will it be "the creature" of "The Creator"! "The SOVEREIGN GOD" THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE ONE who not only created the "COSMOS" but TIME and SPACE THE One who Created not only Heaven......... HE Created " ETERNITY" NOW Tell Me in "ANTHROPOMORPHIC Words" where WAS HE standing When He Created a Place called "ETERNITY" And gave it a name?

New American Standard Bible ( 1 John 2)
And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you remain in Him.

Berean Study Bible
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.

[ remind you how? He will remind you in time of need what you have read in His "BOOK" Nothing put in, nothing to remind you of. Little in little to remind you of. Part Truth read, is not The whole Counsel of GOD:pensive:

And most leaders will try to explain this away. to draw you unto themselves

New International Version
And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle:eyes: [AMBASSADOR]—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher:eyes: "Master" [unto] of the Gentiles.

God Disciplines His Sons
"And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?"…

And he does not need a mortal man to do it! Or the Members of an Organized "institution". Ask King David, he will tell you.

A Queen stays in Her place, The KING is the One That RULES! And if that QUEEN step out of Her place, A True KING will take off her head! and replace her with another:pensive: Ask Queen Vashti or Esther.

The Church never can take the Place or Rule as a KING! A wife can Never take the place of A husband or Rule over Him, if So, she is in "Violation" and will be Judge by the very "WORD" of GOD" no matter how RAGGEDY her husband rules.:pensive:

You don't have to believe me, it is more of them than of us, we are "FEW" in numbers! When HE gets through with you :eyes: You are going to know why, it is said: "MY Sheep Knows My VOICE and they WILL NOT follow another!:eyes: .........I don' care what "Pastor GiveMore" says, If my Shepherd don't say anything I ain't moving and will be "content":eyes: ........You got some "wolves" out here and they "hunt" in Packs. And A "Roaring LION" Roaming around and seeking whom He may Devour "and "VIPERS" they might not Kill you, but they sure cam Hurt! Oh yea, they will teach you a lot!:sob: Make a "Biblical Scholar" out of you. You will do more than"speaking in Tongues" when they get through with you!

If you think i am lying, Put of The Garments of The "Bereans". If not, The Hounds will make you a "believer" not only in HIM but The very words He has spoken.:eyes:

Read Jeremiah again.
 
Thank you for your words. I will take them to the Lord in prayer and go to the Word as well. You all have been amazing. I thank you greatly. God bless you all!

I would offer to be careful on how you hear as the Holy Spirit aids your walk or understanding. One thing as believers we have responsibilities not so much rights or entitlements . The Bible informs us we could be entertaining messengers or prophets of God that declare the gospel of Christ. All believers with his spiritual unseen gifts which are always dual purpose one part to preach the gospel, the others gift to hear God's interpretation therefore edifying the one source of faith (Christ's) .The work of Christ working in two new creatures. .

Patience is the first work of God's love working in us. . I would offer when mankind is angry with God they look for fault in people causing a anxiety .

In our anger we are not to sin . Some versions say When angry . I think in as a fallen race

Seek forgiveness before you sleep or it can wake a person up earlier.

I would also say chew on the rebuke of those who love for a while, if its from the lord he can strengthen you .

Patience is the first work of God's love working in us. if not then the second attribute Love is kind can do its work ..to the last attribute. Does not rejoice with lies.

Seek forgiveness before you sleep or it can wake a person up earlier.

Forget about expectations. There is nothing more important than to love the Love that loves you. While you are doing that, the Spirit of Truth will move into your consciousness.

A good three step plan for dealing with it...Admit it Confess it and
Quit it...Turn your back on it Then
Forget it....Why are you concentrating on the problem instead of the solution?
 
The problem most often is that we're sin conscious. We need, instead, to be salvation conscious. Jesus set us free from all that sin junk. Walk in it!
