Question:
38.2–Why do people judge one another on the way people are on the outside, or on what people do? I know my family obviously isn’t perfect, but we live our life and we live God’s Word and I think that’s what should count, it shouldn’t be that people judge on the stuff of what they heard or what they think. It’s between them and God on what they do. We shouldn’t be discriminated because we’re young. Some people might do stupid stuff sometime in their life, but again it is between them and God and God will decide how to punish them.
Answer:
38.2–Hmmm…..that’s a question that I thought about a lot too, but of course the 2 answers are sin and Satan. The main verse I found was Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful and above all things desperately wicked.” I guess you can say it is “human nature” to pre-judge people and nit-pick every fault a person has. I mean it just comes automatic if we see a person walking down the street in dirty clothes to think he is some dirty old bum, or if we are in a bad neighborhood to think everyone is a gangster and will shoot you. I should know, I used to be like that (I still am, I guess) but I’m saying, what does it do if you are mean and make fun of people? It makes you look mean and hurts someone’s feelings, but if you are nice it makes you look nice and will get you a new friend. But even Christians can be mean and vulgar, I mean, what example are you setting for your non-Christian friends if you are cussing and just being plain mean? Well, that’s all I have to say.
