Should Christians Judge? By: David Ben-Ariel

The typical liberal misunderstanding of the Christian religion is that Christians
shouldn't judge anybody. This misinterpretation comes from a superficial reading of

User? (Lk. 7:1-5). But when read IN CONTEXT it's understood that God will hold us to a
standard as strict as that which we demand of others.

All judgment must be tempered with mercy. Jesus clearly taught that we can see
others imperfections (the "mote" in their eye) and help to remove it ONCE we have

ultimately appear).

Again, the apostle Paul wrote that "he that is spiritual judges all things" (I Cor. 2:15).
Submit Today such a Scripture would be politically incorrect. It appears as if it's "live and let
live," "never judge," as long as whatever it is is wrong and not right! The spiritual
person is to judge everything based upon the Law Book that we call the Holy Bible.
In fact, the fact that so many people are confused as to what's right and wrong and
have blurred any DISTINCTION between the two is the fault of faulty ministers!

Yes, I'm judging them! I'm judging them by their lack of performance since the
Scripture teaches that they're supposed to "teach my people the DIFFERENCE
between the holy and the profane, and cause them to DISCERN between the unclean
and the clean. And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge
it ACCORDING TO MY JUDGMENTS (not the latest poll): and they shall keep my
laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths"
(Ezek. 44:23-24).

We're to view the news from a higher perspective, through God's eyes, and judge
everything accordingly (Isa. 55:8-9). As is far too evident in our attitudes and
actions, we're so far away from true spirituality that it's past time to read God's mind
and go by the Book! (Deut.17:18-20). Without that stabilizing standard there's only
chaos and confusion.
 May God bless the American and British peoples, and our Jewish brethren, to
rediscover the law and order of our biblical Hebrew roots and flourish rather than
flounder!
