Judgments
Jesus said "“Judge not, that you be not judged." Matthew 7:1
He may have simply meant: "If you judge, expect to be judged." No where in this sentence does it say judgment is "Bad."
He may have meant not to judge someone as bad or good, hypocritically; for instance, not to judge someone as bad when you might do the same or worse.
He also meant, that if you judge someone on something, they and others will likely judge you in the exact same way. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
The World Church recognizes judging as a Godly and Jesus like activity.
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." -Corinthians 5:10
In order to be Godly and Christlike, we can judge.
It may be impossible to survive without judging, which is the act of "forming an opinion."
Without discerning between things, how would we judge what is a poisonous berry, and which one is healthy?
We all make judgements in our lives all the time. This is how we make choices. Do you not judge whether it is better to take the stairs or the elevator?
If one tries not to judge at all, they will fall into a limbo of being incapable, and will become totally powerless against others' opinions.
Rather than that, the World Church asks us to accept others' judgements, and keep our judgements as strong as others' judgements.
Then, we can allow others to have their judgements (opinions) while keeping our own, and foster not only tolerance, but balance.
Think about it this way:
If one poisonous snake faces another poisonous snake, they are both equally powerful and now at a stand off.
The World Church asks that we recognize more levels of judgements for better communication, strengthen our opinions and judgements to be equal to others, and allow others to be themselves to find tolerance and balance for each other.
FORGIVENESS FOR JUDGEMENTS
If one person's judgements hurts our feelings, we should instantly remember that we also hold equally powerful judgements that will wound the other person.
Therefore, we can forgive the other person for their judgement, knowing that we have one which is equally as damaging and powerful. We all hold these powerful, harmful, and damaging judgments.
Here are some of the other levels and additional judgments the World Church would like to add to the world:
Good Ugly Bad Ugly
Bad Pretty Good Pretty
Good Crazy Bad Crazy
Good Handsome Bad Handsome
Good Stupid Bad Stupid
Bad Happy Good Happy
Bad Sad Good Sad
...etc...
By accepting and allowing more judgements, not less, we will be able to communicate better and have less fights and misunderstandings.
