JUDGING OTHERS


 This is to all my fellow believers, the greatest law is love, and let’s love one another so we can come together as one.

Welcome those who are weak in faith, but do not argue with them about their personal opinions.
Some people’s faith allows them to eat anything, but the person who is weak in faith eats only vegetables. Those who will eat anything are not to despise those who don’t, while those who eat only vegetables are not to pass judgment on those who will eat anything; for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? It is their own Master who will decide whether they succeed or fail. And they will succeed, because the Lord is able to make them succeed.

Some people think that a certain day is more important than other days, while others think that all days are the same. We should each firmly make up our minds. Those who think highly of a certain day do so in honour of the Lord; those who will eat anything do so in honour of the Lord, because they give thanks to God for the food. Those who refuse to eat certain things do so in honour of the Lord, and they give thanks to God.
None of us lives for himself only, none of us dies for himself only. If we live, it is for the Lord that we live, and if we die, it is for the Lord that we die. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

For Christ died and rose to life in order to be the Lord of the living and of the dead. You then, who eat only vegetables – why do you pass judgment on others? And you who eat anything – why do you despise other believers? All of us will stand before God to be judged by him.

For the scripture says:
“As surely as I am the living God says the Lord, everyone will kneel before me, and everyone will confess that I am God.”
Every one of us then will have to give an account of ourselves to God.

This applies to all believers. If you don’t wear eye rings, and another believer wears that doesn’t mean God is not with that person. You cover you head with scarf and the other believer opens her hair in church, who are you to judge them. Who are you to say they don’t serve the living God. As a female you don’t wear trousers and the other believer wears, who are you to say they are not fit to enter the kingdom of God. You eat only vegetables, who are you to call the believers who eat anything carnal Christians. Don’t say because you don’t celebrate Birthday, you call those who celebrate sinners, because you don’t take any day special, doesn’t mean one day cannot be special to another believer.

7-days Adventists, Deeper life, CAC, Redeem, JW, MFM and many more other churches; we should come together as one body and stop judging ourselves.

Read Romans 14 v 1-12
