Thou Shalt Not Judge

What’s interesting to note is that there IS such a thing as righteous judgement and just because we are human does not make us incapable of it.
You “made my week”… http://beinglds.blogspot.com/2012/01/you-made-my-week.html
…funny, I don’t think of myself as judgmental. No vice is too big for me to over look – except for judging. I have contemplated that MANY TIMES, and have since STROVE to Not judge others for judging; FOR THAT IS JUDGING… This is something I constantly re-evaluate in myself; I pray to overcome it before I die! 😮
Great post today! Thank you!
Corine 😀
Well said Vatermann! Well said!
I think those monkeys are adorable! They remind me of some ladies in my ward… just kidding… i don’t want to have to repent for casting judgement on monkeys/sisters in Zion. 🙂
Judgment and tolerance are a two-way street. If I’m wrong about something, I invite judgement. We should all be humble enough to accept some criticism. Isn’t that was marriage is all about?
MMM, this blog makes me think and reevaluate what I believe and why. It’s sometimes a little painful to read a quote from an Apostle that is in opposition to a personal viewpoint, but no opinion or fad or preference or habit is more important than eternal life. If we stay with the Brethren, we can’t go wrong.
Awesome. I hate it when people judge but worse than that I hate that I judge. Thanks for the reminder! Another goal for 2012!
Thanks for the chuckle this am.
Thank you Linda.
Of course that was just me being ironic, I think people are honestly conflicted. I remember a bishop saying in a RS meeting that there was no reason every woman shouldn’t be a scriptorian. My initial reaction was one of pride. Luckily my heart seems to soften pretty quickly. I was 25 at the time with 2 small kids. I thought it impossible. I prayed for help, knowing my bishop knew better than me. The Lord helped me. 12 years later, I know the scriptures well. I think generally people are good. If I was asked to VT twice a month, that would be hard for me. I hope I would be humble enough to do it. I would want to be obedient but pride would get in my way at first. That’s how it works with me. I never have trouble following the Prophet, it takes me longer to come around to counsel from the bishop…but I usually do.
Thanks for the time you take with your blog. It helps me.
I didn’t see the irony….I thought the comments were as clear as mud 🙂
