It&#8217;s important to note that the scripture doesn&#8217;t outright forbid judgment but encourages careful consideration. We, as believers, have the capacity to judge worldly matters and even angels, as suggested in 1 Corinthians 6:1-5.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSelf-judgment is equally vital, as the Bible states that if we judge ourselves, we won&#8217;t be judged by the Lord. This counters the misconception that only God can judge us. I believe that misinterpretations of these scriptures can deceive people and hinder their willingness to be corrected. So, when confronted with the idea that &#8220;Only God can judge me,&#8221; I encourage introspection and questioning the source of such beliefs.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I want to address the common belief that only God can judge us, a notion not explicitly stated in the Bible or by Jesus.
