I believe we are hesitant / resistant of the term 'judging' because of all the stigma sinners are stamping on us.
All people with an IQ > 20 can judge. Brains = free will = ability to judge. A Christian has greater ability to make judgement calls because of the indwelling Holy Spirit 1 Cor 2:15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things.
Judge = form an opinion or conclusion about.
Discern = recognize or find out.
Condemn = express complete disapproval of; censure.
Judging God is an important part of our conversion. Christians judge Him as good. The unGodly, as evil.
Discernment is not judging. We use discernment to judge.
God wants us to judge Him. Decide / conclude...this day on whom you shall serve Josh 24:15.
