Judging. Is it ok and or how do we apply it to ourselves?

Brothers and Sisters,
We are all Gods Children, so that is why we as Mormons address each other in such a manner.
I want to see what other people views are on the following scriptures from the New Testament and The Book of Mormon. I really hope to hear from others on this one. I will gladly try to answer anyone who response to this post. I want all my friends to view and comment on this post form my blog. I need to know if I am truly learning what my Savoir Jesus Christ wants me to learn and to pass it on to who maybe looking for answers.
So following are the verses:

* Matthew 7:1 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.

Luke 6: 37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

John 7: 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

3 Nephi 14: 1-2, 7-11 1 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words he turned again to the multitude, and did open his mouth unto them again, saying: Verily, verily, I say unto you, 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.

 7 Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

 8 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

 9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask bread, will give him a stone?

 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

What or how are we to apply this to our own lives. I have gone back and forth on judging. I think if I can judge the act and not the person then apply my "judgement" onto myself then it is OK. Also sometimes depending on ones charge in this life it is necessary to judge. As a father of 6 children I have had to judge activities others may of been enjoying and then decide for myself if I thought I should attend and have the same activity in my or my family's life.

OK everyone it is your turn to add to this blog.

Gaining knowledge through prayer and studying the Scriptures.

Putting it all Together Assignment. Lesson 05

This week we were to study Helaman 10 through 16.

We are encouraged to share what we learned each week. Well I have chosen to share with you all the following scripture from the Book of Mormon, which reads:

·       Alma 17:9

9 And it came to pass that they journeyed many days in the wilderness, and they fasted much and prayed much that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit to go with them, and abide with them, that they might be an instrument in the hands of God to bring, if it were possible, their brethren, the Lamanites, to the knowledge of the truth, to the knowledge of the baseness of the traditions of their fathers, which were not correct.

This verse is not from the chapters we were assigned to study. For those of you not in the Pathways Program through the church which I belong to. If you are new to my blog, I will give you a littler background here. As a student in the program we are required to teach others what we are learning because part of the BYU-I learning model it is believed that we will learn and understand a point of study or skill more if we are able to teach another. If we are able to teach another, we must be able to understand it before we can teach it to someone else. I for one believe this theory to be true. I have seen it work and have been a part of it now for 1 ½ semesters.

Now back to the scripture I want to talk about. See when we are studying a scriptural block we are not just reading the scripture as it is written. We are encouraged to study it out and ponder it for ourselves. This is how I ended up with this verse. I am trying to gain a Christ-like attribute of “Knowledge”. So I searched the term “Knowledge” on the lds.org website and searched within the Book of Mormon.

The term or word “knowledge is used twice in this verse. The first time it is used it is referring to the knowledge of the truth that what they were trying to teach to the brethren the Lamanites was true. The second time “knowledge” is mentioned it is referring to the fact that they knew that some of the things that their fathers were teaching or “traditions” were false or not correct.

I have found that to be one of the most point of issue one may find hard to try to teach another. Telling someone that what they may have been doing since they were old enough to be taught is wrong or incorrect. Let me write about one such point here. It is taught by many churches that God, Jesus Christ and The Holy Ghost is one person or unity. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints it is taught that God, Jesus Christ and The Holy Ghost are 3 separate Personages that work as one to bring about the salvation of man.

Ok remember these are my thoughts on this verse and my opinions only. I want to state again I do not speak for the Church and hope I am teaching others what I believe to be true. My The Holy Ghost testify to you the truthfulness of the scriptures as you read and ponder them for yourselves.

Any additional thoughts from my classmates or anyone who has been invited to view this blog? I would love to hear others takeaways from this verse.
