Are Christians Too Judgemental? | Your Big Questions Answered

“Judge not, lest you be judged.” But does Christianity really teach us never to judge? And is calling something wrong necessarily unloving?

In this episode of Your Big Questions Answered, we tackle one of the most common accusations levelled against Christians: that they are too judgemental.

We all make judgements every day. From the smallest decisions to the biggest moral questions, judging is an unavoidable part of being human. So why has being judgemental become one of the greatest accusations against Christians?

Drawing on Scripture, Catholic teaching and the writings of Pope Benedict XVI, this episode explores the difference between judging actions and judging people, and why the Christian duty to love others cannot mean abandoning the truth.

From abortion and assisted dying to marriage, sexuality and the growing influence of moral relativism, we examine what happens when society begins to treat right and wrong as matters of personal preference.

Can we genuinely love someone without challenging them? Does tolerance always lead to peace? And what did Jesus really mean when He warned us against judging others?

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why everyone makes judgements, whether religious or not
• What Jesus actually teaches about judging others
• The difference between judging someone's actions and judging their soul
• Why Pope Benedict XVI warned against false peace and moral relativism
• Can Christians oppose abortion and assisted dying without being uncharitable?
• Why objective truth matters in questions of morality
• How technology can disguise the natural consequences of our choices
• The difference between Christian hypocrisy and the truth of Christian teaching
• Why genuine love sometimes requires difficult conversations
• How Christians can speak the truth with charity and humility

Ultimately, Christianity does not call us to abandon judgement, but to exercise it rightly: with humility, charity and a commitment to truth.
