PSALMS 7:11
God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.

MATTHEW 7:1-2
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why am i emphasising on these today? There are many things that i wanna say about judging others. Reasons why i'm saying this is due to the fact that many people are judging others, but not looking first at themselves.


One plain example can be seen in streets. Many people judged those "beggars" that are asking passer-by for money. They think that these people should just try to get a job and not sit at a certain place and "block" these paths and such. Well, i dont get the rationale behind this. Seriously. Whats wrong with these "white-collar" people? They are those with the most oppinion ever, but they are those that does not contribute much at all. Dont believe me? Try standing at one spot and notice. Then you will know what i mean. These "white-collar" people who are so judgemental, not only to these people, but even to people who is working under them. Alright, NOT all are like these. Yes, i understand. And i know after i publish this, many is going to refute me, which obviously, i'm not going to give in on my stand.


Next form of judgement, is judging one on their results. One teacher once said this, "a repeat student should not be given a chance at all. It is an absolutely waste of time and effort of both society and that individual." Well, you know what i feel like doing to that teacher? Show that teacher that there are those in this world who is a repeat student and still come out as top scholars and all. Please, come on. That teacher is just living in his/her own world. WAKE UP!


I know that this post seems to be like putting people down, but i really really wonder. Probably this is my rantings, or probably, there are some that feels the same way as i do.......


Well, now. Come to the crucial part. Which most of my brethen could relate to. Or probably not. Alright. NOT for the weak-hearted fellow brethen. Here goes.

  • Person A--> judges everyone too strictly through the Word of God. places strong emphasis on the 10 commandments and make no room for creativity, flexibility and freedom. Those non-believers around him are always insulted by what he said. Yes, truth hurts. But dont forced down your own commandments onto others. God did not state that we are to force down laws unto someone. And as these people can't meet up to person A's standard, he tend to judge them and exclaim how bad they are, how uncouth and how ill-mannered they are, which i obviously think that Jesus would not do that at all. Do not force water down a horse's throat.
  • Person B--> tries to pull people down. whatever that is not of standard and such, he judges. For example, "oh. so you belong to blah blah blah school. you must be either not hardworking or that you are stupid enough to go there." seriously. dont judge. if you want to do that, God will do it even more to you.

anyway, there are plenty more that is on my mind. but i think that well, i should stop here. Its not really good to go on and on and complain and such. But i seriously learnt my lesson. Never judge someone just because they are not really up to standard. Or never think highly or someone that you "worship" them, like for eg, hollywood stars,singers etc. I'm not saying that you can't like them, but i'm saying that do not "worship" them. No one is perfect in the world. The only one that is, is Jesus Christ. No one else.


Matthew 7:3-5
And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.




Do not judge. Do not judge. No one has the right to judge. No one is so priviledged in this world to do the judging. Unless you are telling me that you are god, which obviously i know you aren't. Refute me all day long if you want to. I'll still stick to my stand. Full stop.
