Judge a tree by the fruit it bears. A bad tree yields bad fruit. God is the ultimate judge of eternal life or condemnation. Just be humble enough to ask forgiveness when you make bad judgements, but Jesus wants us to use our common sense.

@minimouse7890

And....justifying is in itself a form of judgment. Ie, judging your own actions as right in order to avoid any form of guilt. Feeling bad about our sin is a moral form of pain, telling us something is morally wrong in us, even as physical pain is our body’s way of telling us something is physically wrong. They are both necessary for life, one for physical life, the other for eternal life. To avoid guilt and moral pain is to continue in the way of death. So to point out someone’s moral state and bring them to a place of pain is exactly the same as a doctor pointing out the reason for physical pain, leading to healing and life. Doctors judge us all the time. And there is a difference between judgment and discernment. We would do well to look into that if we want to understand what is required of us as christians.

Yaaasssss good stuff!

I’ll keep this in store to paste and send to people on the weekly basis I see someone say “don’t judge”. Great video

I love the final comment, "the culture will not be there for you" but Jesus will. Thank you. I can't tell you how often I have been shut up or preempted by the "thou shalt not judge" argument (or expected argument). But I also understand the other side that this could very easy be used as a license to always keep my mouth open and ears closed when coming up to somebody I decide is in the wrong, which is obviously wrong.

Thank you for putting this video out there, Alisa! I am a "life-long" Christian and I've always struggled with this. The "judge not" campaign came up recently with one of my family members who is employed by a woke Methodist church and himself leaning more progressive these days, and I didn't feel Biblically equipped to have a conversation about it. I will use this well thought out, lovingly delivered explanation for why it is not only O.K. to judge our fellow Christians but the Christlike, loving, and necessary thing to do. P.S. I just finished your book and WOW. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a blessing and a light in our dark world!

Showed this to my 8th grade Bible class. Thank you!

Alisa, this is one of the best, witty, concise, cogent, sound and scriptural exposition of the meaning of “Don’t judge”! How many times we are heard “righteous” Christians uttered these words carelessly when abuse and wrong doings are brought up against church leaders. By their erroneous attitude and false teaching of “Don’t judge”, these Christians perpetuate the wrongs in the church just as they are the blind leading the blind.

But if someone is saying to you “don’t judge” aren’t they judging? lol.

Usually the don't judge me crowd is guilty of something and that's why they don't want you to judge them but they'll gladly judge you and I think twice about it. Another thing is if there is no judgment then there is no right or wrong and any situation

The "gift of discernment" in 1 Cor. 12:10 is literally the same word/root as 'judge' used by Jesus. So being able to judge properly is considered a spiritual gift from God.

Nailed it. It also says to rebuke and also to use sober judgement.

Excellent!!! Discernment is properly judging what is and isn’t godly with guidance from the Holy Spirit in ourselves, first, and for those we love. To walk away from someone clearly in a pit of garbage isn’t loving at all. Reaching in to help pull them out is. But to claim holier-than-you status is being judgmental and the log in that eye alone causes others to retreat to their pit.

That is.wonderful advice...Thanks.

Also, I feel like I need to always remind myself to follow the Matthian principle of approaching the individual first, then with one or two elders, etc. And that in giving “prayer requests” or talking about situations with others, it can be ideal to omit almost all details. Now I’m rambling, but I found this video very equipping, and it tied together a lot of recent thoughts.

I am stuck in a ED. I am slowly getting better. I have an amazing therapist now.

Exactly. And as an encouragement when a person you know regularly observes you dealing with your own sin rightly and fairly (confessing and repenting) then they will most likely respect you enough to listen to you (as opposed to be defensive) if you should find it necessary to gently and graciously point any of their sin.

Wow!!! Your testimony of your friend was awesome!!!!!

Alisa, you are spot on, dead on target. Well done. I have had several of these judgmental conversations. King David said, "4 Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies! 5 Let a righteous man strike me-- it is a kindness; let him rebuke me-- it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it . . . . . (Psalm 141:4-5 ESV) All this directly implies that one side has judged, and David thinks it necessary that a good man would boldly confront and rebuke him.

I'm often bewildered and amused how those who are quick to unsheathe the phrase "don't judge" or "judge not" while maintaining the position of non-judgemental are able to somehow put on clothes or eat.

Greetings PJ. Agreed! I wonder how many other folks, today, and in the future, have, or will be thinking the same you. Peace be with you.

The point of that verse is to say that you have so much to perfect in yourself that you never will, have so much to work out in yourself, that you have no time leftover to then critique someone else's life/ways. The second point about judging an escaped convict at your door is not judging, it's using common sense and avoiding an obvious danger. The way you phrased it almost sounds like it is acceptable to judge people's appearances however, which is not okay. The last point is more on point, I think God calls us to counsel at times, which is still different than surface-level judgment, but instead a deep, private intervention when and only when it is called for by God.
