Joh 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
I noticed the poster below my original post decidedly left out John 7, I have to believe they did this on purpose to try to make me appear as a liar. Sorry to prove you wrong about never judging, but I did include your verses also so ne could say I had all bases covered from a Biblical standpoint in my original post.
I should change my name to the Bible Answer Man...
I have to add this, THE BOOK OF JUDGES... GOD set up Judges amongst the 12 tribes to settle disputes and JUDGE what was the right solution. Today every Jury and some Judges make Judgments as do most people.
Is O.J. Guilty? The Jury said no, how many people differ with that and aren't you Judging?
Is i ok to rape children and women? Isn't that a judgment?
Let's try not to use the Bible to misconstrue your notions of what is right or wrong to do. The Bible is pretty clear about most things when properly interpreted. As for the cast no stone verse, CMON, that is about KILLING someone in a stoning, that has nothing to do with Judging per se... Let's keep to the context shall we...

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Basically, Christians CANNOT judge others according to these verses. That includes the so called "righteous judgment".

What does he mean, Jeremiah, when he wrote, "Do no wrong or violence to the ALIEN, the fatherless or the widow..."
Alien?

I want even my cheating spouses to be happy ...I was holding them up from their happiness by staying with them ....so right or wrong (Divorce wise) I dont want anyone to stay with me if they are that unhappy that they went and messed around ....
