Should we judge one another? Yes, we certainly should, Paul actually rebuked Corinthians for not judging: "Dare any of u having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, & not before the saints? Do u not know that the saints shall judge the world & if the world shall be judged by u, are u unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge the angels? How much mo things pertaining to this life?..." (1Cor6:1-5). If judging is wrong then Paul needs to confess & repent for misleading these Christians! He clearly told them to judge people. Christians are not only commanded to judge but to judge righteously & not just by appearance. In the Book of John7:24 Jesus says, "Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement".
If judging is a sin how can we obey Romans 16:17-18, 2Cor6:17, 2Timothy3:5-6, 1John4:1? What about Revelation2:2? "I know thy works & thy labour & thy patience & how thou canst not bear them which are evil & thou hast tried them which say they are apostles & are not & hast found them liars". Why would the Lord be pleased with these Christians if judging was wrong? IS IT NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SOMEONE A LIAR WITHOUT JUDGING THEM?
If the Bible is clear about anything it is clear about the importance of judging on a regular basis in order to properly serve & honor God. God expects us to judge.
Shame unto the Devil for all power & glory belongs to Jesus. Halleluja!
