To judge or not to judge?

Most radical grace preachers would condemn judging. They said, Judging is condemning and condemning is judging. I will tell them, Please study more on the judgement of God or the principles of the doctrine of Christ in Heb 6 before you think that you can ignore and leave all the doctrine of Christ on judgement and repentance:
  • Heb 5:12-14 KJV  For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.  (13)  For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  (14)  But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.  Heb 6:1-3 KJV  Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,  (2)  Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands (of the ministries of healing and the gifts of the Holy Spirit), and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.  (3)  And this will we do, if God permit.
Of course, there is a difference when you judge to condemn or judge to correct. Of course, we don't condemn anyone who judge, but we can surely judge anyone who just want to condemn. For example,
we don't condemn the judge who judge or the school principal who discipline and judge the students, but we can surely judge those who condemn everyone including the government, the teachers, the lawyers, the parents, the educationalists, the bible scholars, and all God's elect. Of course, we can judge and discern the false preachers who condemn everyone with their perverted law or grace teaching:
  • Mat 7:15-21 KJV  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  (16)  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?  (17)  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.  (18)  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.  (19)  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.  (20)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  (21)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
If this is still not clear to you, please answer this question: Which one is more condemning?
  • To tell the people to die and go to hell (speak evil of your brothers)?  or
  • To tell the people to repent, turn from their sins, and live?
Of course, both of the above may seem to be judgemental to the sinners; however, one is judgement with condemnation, but the other is judgement with correction and life. Hence, I don't see any wrong for Jesus and God's preachers to preach about sins, knowledge of sins, conscience of sins, condemnation of sins, or judgement of sins so that the people will repent, turn from their sins, and live. I don't think it is fair to boast about grace; but put down others by falsely accusing (speaking evil) of other brothers who preach about sins and the need to turn from sins as judgement with condemnation. I will tell those who give the false impression about repentance to find out the real definition of judgement first, before they condemn everyone who judge as the devils or condemning preachers. I will tell them, Before you tell your brothers, "DON'T JUDGE, or you will be judge" and threaten them with all your curses or double curse of the laws, please use your anointed brain to think. If you condemn all judgement of God in the Bible or God's laws, you are not condemning the devils or the lawless ones, you are condemning God who is the judge and the lawgiver. You are speaking evil of your brothers who receive God's laws in their hearts too. You are speaking evil of the law. You are not a doer of the law. You want to be a judge. You want to be God !
  • Jas 4:10-12 KJV  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.  (11)  Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.  (12)  There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
If you judge the law of God, you are condemning God who gives the laws to us in our hearts. You are condemning discernment of false doctrines and making your followers to become more blinded too.

Some radical grace preachers will argue, "Please don't falsely accuse us. When did you hear us saying that God cannot judge or no one can judge? No, we still judge with good judgement. We still tell our believers to discern and judge.. They are not stupid !"
I will tell them, If you start preaching and telling your believers to judge and discern, good ! But do you know what it means. It means that you have finally agreed that you need the law of God. Please think again, How can you judge if you have no more law? How can you discern if you have no more God's doctrine which is based on God's laws and commandments too? It's time for you to wake up and revamp your lawless doctrine.. (oops), no, to repent and discard all your lawless doctrine and live ! Of course, I don't think I am condemning anyone by saying all these, although I may agree that I could be judging.
