“Christians should not judge other people.” Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer

Answers

queen
• Judgement especially if it’s destructive can destroy the confidence of another person and make them feel of no use to society.
• Christians have many faults themselves and need to address these rather than highlight the faults in the lives of other people. Jesus said that people should sort out the faults in their own lives before they criticised others.
• They should not be judging or criticising the behaviour and lifestyle of others because they may not know all the background circumstances. Only God can judge people fairly.

On the other hand:
• Criticism can be constructive because the Christian genuinely wants to help a person improve their life style. It is done through love and concern.
• Criticism can help people address failings in their lives and they become a more confident person as a result.
• In the bible the Old Testament prophets judged the people of Israel for turning away from God. Both John the Baptist and Jesus criticised the behaviour of the religious leaders and Christians today would be following their examples.
• A quiet word with a person rather than a public outburst could be the best way to point out a person’s faults.
