Is It Right To Judge Men Of God? by Deschil: 1:20pm On Dec 22, 2013
I am tired of hearing people say "thou shall not judge." When they have nothing to use to defend a man of God or out of fear. Fact is, according to the Bible; 1st Corinthians 2:15 "He that is spiritual. He who lives the spiritual life. Judgeth all things". "Examineth", in the margin of the Revised Version. 1 John 4:1 too says "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."
The spiritual man, helped by the indwelling Spirit, is prepared to study the deeper truths of the Spirit. Yet he himself is judged of no man. None who are not spiritual are able to sit in judgment upon his higher life. He is on a higher level, and the carnal* man, from his lower level, cannot well estimate him.

So only unspiritual people should refrain from judging. Do not give people who abuse the grace of God room by saying "thou shall not judge."

when your judging is undermining people who are serving God in spirit and in truth, that judgement will fall on you.

What's wrong and demonic? To judge a man of God? Seriously? Is a man of God first not a Christian before being a man of God? What immunity does a man of God have that an ordinary Christian don't have?

I am not surprised to find you on here, again. Doing what you do best. My quote is from the Bible, where is yours from? How can a truly spiritual Christian's judgement "undermine" another true believer? "Deep calls to deep", "the spirit beareth witness"... Don't come on here tpia to stir your characteristic trouble-please.

It is very wrong....
Why judge a man of God?
Re: Is It Right To Judge Men Of God? by Ogojohn(m): 1:32pm On Dec 22, 2013
A man of God is not God. He is a human being and therefore must be accessed and judged.

"Judgement" isn't always in a negative light. Biblical judging is about EXAMINING the actions of a man of God. A Pastor will impregnate a young girl and people will say "judge not". A Pastor is caught robbing, people say "judge not". A Pastor was even caught burying a child by 2am or so, people said "judge not". What was Jesus doing when he called the Pharisees "white washed sepulchers, full of dead men's bones"? Matt 23:27. He EXAMINED their actions and named it for what it is...aren't we supposed to be like Jesus?

case by case basis only.

it is wrong to generalize and attack all pastors just because you have issues with some of them.

when you do that, the only thing left for you to wait for is God's judgement.

there is no need to get panicky or start throwing insults, i assume you are ready to stand by what you type or else you should have kept your fingers in safer threads besides ones where you undermine God's work.


2 Tim 3
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith



AND STOP THE PERSONAL INSULTS BEFORE I START MY OWN AND YOU BEGIN TO CATCH UGLY FEELINGS.

I will comment on any thread I deem fit, don't open threads if you are adverse to criticism even though your jobless mouth can criticize others.

Deal with it.

And if you can't, too bad for you.

May God answer on behalf of his work which you are undermining.

God will definitely answer me for what I am doing and it will be to your detriment, you must remain sad, miserable and gloomy whenever you see God's blessing and goodness in me.

The lines have fallen in pleasant places and I have a goodly heritage.

Go chew on that and remain miserable all your days.

Siddon look my dear, you have a lot more 'miserableness' to face, on my account.


Your envy and bad belle has just started, i know you thought you had those before, you ain't seen nothing yet.

God watches over his word to perform it, and you must surely be miserable over his goodness towards me, in Jesus name.

It is possible to judge a "man of God" (MOG) and not sin. When you choose to affiliate with one ministry over another, you have already judged that ministry and the man behind it. There is nothing wrong with that. Its called discernment.

To paraphrase Paul, even if the motives are not pure, they preach Christ. If the fruit of the tree is good, leave the personal issues the MOG may have to God. And if the fruit is bad, ask for wisdom on how to raise the alarm instead of attacking the MOG personally. When you attack without love, you may unwittingly be working against God's plan - God's plan can involve even a disobedient MOG.

There are many questionable MOGs I can name, but you cant deny some people have been blessed by those ministries. I'm not going to support or give blindly into those ministries, but I'm not going to scuttle the good work God may be doing there either.
