IS THIS IN THE BIBLE?
“Christians aren’t supposed to judge.”
The answer is:


LOOKING AT WHAT JESUS IS SAYING

Jesus’ words are

a of judging, rather they are an to judge .
Jesus recognizes Judgement is involved:

  • The speck…

  • Dogs and pigs…

Scriptures encourage right judgment – or discernment:

Every one judges…

You can’t NOT judge!

What Jesus teaches is NOT to stop judging but to start judging rightly.

JUDGE RIGHTLY
With fellow believers:

Examine yourself

and !

Speak the truth in

, be and .

With unbelievers:

1 Corinthians 5:12-13

What do we say when someone says
“I thought Christians aren’t supposed
to judge?”
