Ever felt judged by the church?
- Lukasevangeliet 6:37 ”Döm inte, så skall ni inte bli dömda. Förklara ingen skyldig, så skall ni inte dömas skyldiga. Frikänn, så skall ni bli frikända”
- Jakobsbrevet 4:12 "Det finns bara en lagstiftare och domare, han som kan rädda och förgöra. Men vem är du som dömer din nästa?"
- Johannesevangeliet 3:16-21 "Så älskade Gud världen att han gav den sin ende son, för att de som tror på honom inte skall gå under utan ha evigt liv. Ty Gud sände inte sin son till världen för att döma världen utan för att världen skulle räddas genom honom. Den som tror på honom blir inte dömd, men den som inte tror är redan dömd, eftersom han inte har trott på Guds ende sons namn. Och detta är domen, att när ljuset kom in i världen, då älskade människorna mörkret mer än ljuset, eftersom deras gärningar var onda. Den som gör det onda avskyr ljuset och kommer inte till ljuset, för att hans gärningar inte skall avslöjas. Men den som handlar efter sanningen, han kommer till ljuset, för att det skall bli uppenbart att han gör vad Gud vill.”

Unfortunately, I have gotten the impression that many people who are not Christians feel judged by Christians and think that we Christians somehow believe that we are better than everyone else. I have always thought that this is just a preconception, but there is unfortunately often something behind a "preconception" such as this.
I know how easy it is to judge others (whether they are Christians or not), but it's still not okay to do it! That is one thing we must always be aware of and work on. God has always been and will always be the only one who has the right to deliver judgment.
- Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
- James 4:12 "There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?"
We have no right to judge anyone, the only thing we have the right to do is to rebuke another Christian (Matthew 18:15-17). For what is the point of judging those who don't believe? It won't help anyone! Sure, great if you get a thief to stop stealing, but he will not get to heaven for that! For we Christians believe in the life after death, which includes a "heaven" and a "hell" and we believe that the only way to heaven is through God. Our mission is to be a light on Earth and tell others about Jesus and the salvation he can bring!
- John 3:16-21 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God."
