Jesus' Righteous Judgement

when people say "don't judge me" you say I'm speaking what Jesus' says...
 


Do you as a Christian get tired of hearing celebrities, worldly people and so called "Christians" with unrighteous living say "don't judge me" because they don't want to hear what the Lord has to say about righteous living and being a child of God (Jesus).  They say part of this scripture Judge Not, well they are only quoting half of the scripture. If you read other scriptures that backs up this scripture you will see that you can tell them what God (Jesus) condemns as unrighteous. That's not you judging but God's (Jesus') judgement; you are only a messenger. Here's the scriptures I'm talking about: 

 Matthew 7:1-3 King James Version (KJV) 

 7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? (This is the scripture most celebrities and unrighteous people are talking about but, here's another scripture that adds more detail to this scripture)

Romans 2:1-15 New International Version (NIV)

God’s Righteous Judgment
2 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? (As long as you are living righteous you can say that they are living unrighteous. You are really not making the judgement but are repeating what God (Jesus) has already proclaimed.  The ones who are living ungodly can't judge.)


5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a] 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism.


12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.
