Where does the bible say it is right to judge others?

What, are you kidding? Judging people who commit adultery is all OVER the Bible. Considering God handed down 10 iron-clad laws and ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’ is one of them, you can see where they tended to come down pretty hard on them. In fact, according to the Bible, getting a divorce and marrying someone else is the same thing as committing adultery. LOOKING at another woman and thinking lustful thoughts is considered adultery. Consider:

Proverbs 6:32 32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.

Matthew 19:9 9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.

Hebrews 13:4 4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

Matthew 5:27-28 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’ 28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.

Where does the bible say it is right to judge others?

The only place in the Bible where it says that it is right to judge others is in 1 Corinthians 6:1-5. But, this is speaking of believers judging other believers within the church. Believers are not to judge non-believers. God Himself will do that. (2 Timothy 4:1).

Its not right to judge people at all. They may have done or said some things, but it came from somewhere. It could’ve been something in their past or even somethings they’re still dealing with. The point is you cant see past someones soul or search their heart. All we know is what we see and that could be ignorant.

Jer 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

This does not say that there is any change in the scripture. Those who walks away from God for them the scripture is vain. People who do not want God are the ones who make the scripture to no effect. Also they change the meaning of the verses and thus make it useless.

People who do this are wicked.

Psa 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

But what happens, Mikeh, if you and the first woman you married had this great thing going, but in the end you weren’t compatible with each other? Is it adultery then?

…according to the Bible… YES… but that doesn’t mean the Bible is right. The Bible ALSO admits that it was DELIBERATELY transcribed incorrectly [Jeremiah 8:8]. So there’s plently of room for error, and of course… misinterpretation.

But what happens, Mikeh, if you and the first woman you married had this great thing going, but in the end you weren’t compatible with each other? Is it adultery then? Is a divorced woman never again allowed to be happy and married to man who was perhaps better suited to her than the first? We cannot all be pristine little virgins. Getting a divorce and getting remarried is NOT adultery. Sorry to bust your snow white bubble.

And no, hollatjaigirl, it is not our responsibility to judge.

No, it is NOT our responsibility to judge others. You should not need a Bible verse to know that it is wrong to judge others but since you seem to have to make this decision based on the Bible…

Matt. 7:1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”

Romans 2:1 Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

John 8:7 But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.

but is it our responsibility to judge? What happened to forgiving? Im against adutry, just dont think it’s our place.

Judge others in love. Show you care for them and want to help them. No name calling or bashing of any kind! God looks at the hearts of men.
