Who are we to judge?

As our class got into what I think was our first heated discussion today, it got me really thinking. In fact, I have been thinking about our discussion literally all day. When we started talking about having free-will and pre-determination and then it started leading to other things, somehow, it seemed as if at one point we were talking about morality and judgment. This point stuck with me.

As a woman, I can be honest and say, by nature I am a judgmental being. Even though I feel that I am not as judgmental as others I can still admit that I am guilty of judgment. And as I look around and see other people judging me, judging my classmates, I wonder, what are they really thinking about me? The simple thing is to say you don't care, and for the most part I don't however, I do still wonder from time to time if I am presenting myself the way I want to be seen.

Well this also got me thinking, who do we, as humans, think we are, to seriously think that we should judge others? Really? Think about it, isn't God the one who "saved" us, and if this is so, Isn't he the all powerful, gracious, and kind being? Shouldn't he be the one to judge our actions and our character? I don't know but, all day this has really bothered me thinking about people pretty much hating on one another. 

Like when one of our classmates brought up about her neighbor and his situation, yes, to us that seems completely wrong and immoral but, what if God forgives him? Then what to we do? Still hate on him? I think this is a tough issue to reason with but it is definitely something to think about more often.
