I agree because it's scriptural based. MANY say you can't judge, that's also scriptural based. though to some that might seem like a contradiction, (Jehovah God does NOT contradict himself). there's a difference in judging. there's judging in a way, that can imply that one is better than the other. like the Pharisee vs the tax collector ,(
Matt. 18:9-14). the Pharisee thought he was better than the humble man. NOT realizing that they were BOTH SINNERS! that was judging in the worst way.
we as you basically said, can judge in a way that'll lead us down the righteous path Jesus lead for us ,(
1Pet.2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps). Jesus said he and his were not part of this world, (
John 17:16). so to be NO part of this world, we would have to look at the ways of this world. see if it's in agreement with Jesus and Jehovah God. if not we have to say, I will not live like that.
we have to judge even our spiritual siblings if they're living fowl. just as we have to judge the world who lives fowl ,(
1Cor. 5:11-13 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner not even to eat with such a person. For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person”). peace
