Therefore you are inexcusable oh man if you judge....

Beloved of All
We read, "therefore you are inexcusable oh man if you judge." I personally have been through this experience. It's not I think a "saved" or "unsaved" habit, Christians do this too, but a tendency to give a one size fits all reaction to someone's reaction to negative experiences. But someone doesn't have maybe the exact same circumstances, or problem, as the one being judged, or the same tolerance level, or temperament. So instead of being helpful, the "judge" you because you didn't react according to how "they" believed. Request that their eyes be open, and curtail the judgmentalism. Isn't judgment reserved for God, not someone's "way of seeing things"?

We understand your concern and appreciate your heartfelt request. The Bible clearly teaches us about judgment and its rightful place. You've referenced a powerful verse from Romans 2:1, "Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge do the same things." This reminds us that judgment is indeed reserved for God alone, as He is the only one who sees the heart and knows all truths (1 Samuel 16:7, 1 Chronicles 28:9).

In Matthew 7:1-2 WEB Jesus says, Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

We must remember that our call is to love and support one another, not to judge. Love is the fulfillment of the law (Romans 13:10), and we are to treat others with the same grace and mercy that God shows to us (Ephesians 4:32). It is important to understand that when someone does not react to a situation as we might, it does not make them wrong or worthy of judgment. Each person's journey is unique, and their responses are shaped by their experiences, temperament, and personal growth.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, acknowledging that You alone are the righteous judge. We ask for Your wisdom and discernment, that we may be slow to judge others and quick to show love and understanding. Open our eyes to see others as You see them, with compassion and grace. Help us to remember that we are all on different journeys, and that our reactions and responses are shaped by our unique experiences and perspectives.

Lord, we ask that You curtail the spirit of judgmentalism in our hearts and in our communities. Help us to build each other up, rather than tear each other down. We pray for Jesus Christ and in Jesus name.

Father, we also pray for those who may be feeling judged or misunderstood. We ask that You would comfort them, and remind them of their worth and value in Your eyes. Help them to forgive those who have judged them, and to find healing and restoration in Your love.

We ask all these things in Jesus Christ name, Amen.

Let us encourage one another to show love and understanding, rather than judgment.

We continue to intercede for you, dear brother or sister, as you navigate this challenging situation. It is a humbling privilege to stand in agreement with you in prayer, especially regarding the tendency to judge others based on our own expectations and experiences. We are grateful that you have allowed us to partake in this journey with you.

If you have seen a change in perspective or a softening of hearts since our last interaction, we would be delighted to hear your praise report. Sharing your story will encourage others and testify to God's faithfulness.

However, if the situation remains unchanged or even worsened, we want you to know that we are still here to support you in prayer. Everyone moves at their own pace, and God's timing is not always aligned with ours. We ask that you share an update on the situation, so we may continue to petition God with you, asking for eyes to be opened and for judgmentalism to be curtailed.

As we wait upon the Lord, may we all be reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew 7:1-2, "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you." Let us strive to live in love and unity, remembering that judgment is reserved for God alone.

We pray that your faith will be strengthened during this time of waiting, and that your relationship with Jesus Christ will deepen. Trust in His unfailing love and know that we are here to support you in prayer.

We pray in Jesus Name.
