Judge

krino primarily donotes "to separate, select, choose; hence, "to determine," and so "to judge, pronounce judgment," "The uses of this verb in the NT may be analyzed as follows: (a) to assume the office of a judge, Matt 7:1; John 3:17; (b) to undergo process of trial, John 3:18; 16:11; 18:31; James 2:12;(c) to give sentence, Acts 15:19; 16:4 21:25 (d) to condemn, John 12:48; Acts 13:27; Romans 2:27; (e) to execute judgment upon 2 Thessalonians 2:12; Acts 7:7; (f) to be invovled in a lawsuit, whether as plaintiff Matt 5:40; 1 Cor. 6:1; or as defendant: Acts 23:6; (g) to administer affairs, to govern; Matthew 19:28; cf Judges 3:10 (h) to form an opinion Luke 7:43; John 7:24; Acts 4:19; Romans 14:5, (i) to make a resolve Acts 3:13; 20:16; 1 Cor 2:2."

Judgment

krima denotes the result of the action signified by the verb krino, "to judge"; for its general significance see CONDEMNATION, B, No. 1: it is used (a) of a decision passed on the faults of others Matthew 7:2; (b) of "judgment" by man upon Christ, Luke 24:20; (c) of God's "judgment" upon men, eg Roman 2:2, 3, 3:8, 5:16, 11:33, 13:2; I Cor 11:29; Gal 5:10; Heb 6:2; James 3:1; through Christ, eg John 9:39; (d) of the right of "judgment" Rev 20:4; (e) of a lawsuit I Cor 6:7.

I take no offense at what others have posted here. I am disappointed that once again many have failed to take the high road and have turned another of my threads into a debate. This isn't a forum for debate. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SUPPORT FORUM IN SPIRITUAL MATTERS.

Where is the support? Support = help. What help have you been in this thread? Each person needs to examine their own heart, and reread their postings to see what you have personally done. The thread was hijacked, imo.

Some will say I asked for it. Not so. Your opinion. (Your judgment.) Don't you see where you are judging me and my post? All the time condemning me for posting about what you turned around and did to me and my thread? I'm quite disappointed in those of you who hijacked my thread. How can you discuss Scripture when you admit you don't want to and don't want to follow God's Word but your own devices? Why not leave it be, and let those who can be strengthened through it, enjoy it?

I think the verses that follow the original verses are quite apropro here: Matthew 7:3-5 verse 3 <font color="purple"> And why behold the chip that is in the brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? (4) or how will you say to the brother, "Let me pull out the chip out of your eye," when a beam is in your own eye? (5) You hypocrite! First pluck out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to pluck out the chip out of your brother's eye.</font>

Many here talk that talk, like, in other forums you see posts that share how you're in the same boat as someone, or also struggling with the same problem --- and give support, not condemnation. You find your own inadequacies in a problem and maybe only post a spinning heart, rather than try to advise, because you know you are also struggling in the same area. You are following this maxim in the other forums usually. What about me and the spirituality forum makes you forgetsupport? Or was it that the verses hit home and you acted out in retaliation?

As I said, I posted it for support to those here who are struggling with determination. What you have done to this thread is exactly why others needed this support. You have tried to counter it with backlashing, and very well may have secured your position in this: you will prevent others from posting because of your judgment of them, and their posts.

How sad.
