Did Jesus have a no teaching policy when he said not to esteem yourself above others?

Those that claim to be “Christian” but judge or lord it over others are not in any fashion or way a good representative of Christ. They may think they are but truth is according to Jesus’ teachings a true follower of Christ would have a servant attitude and approach to life. They would humble themselves; and, not think they are above others. The scripture even pointedly addresses to not judge others. I do not think I am above anyone else. I would rather be friends with everyone than waste my time figuring out who needs to be judged.
We are all sinners first and foremost. While I do not agree with their behavior, I do not believe it is my place to judge them on their belief system even though it sounds likely that they are in spiritual distress. On Earth as a human, yes, I have the ability to say they need to be held accountable for their actions. If one is to hold the Bible as a true guidance for ones life then God will know what to do with them. It is not my place or right to decide what happens to them after they die. I do believe in capital punishment but only as a human not as a way to lord it over them. They chose to do those actions sometimes due to mental illness sometime due to a glitch in their personality. Am I as a person better then them, it is not my place to figure that out. Am I living a more morally correct life using our human understanding of law and ethics... yes. I have chosen to live a life governed by our human understanding of ethics and morals. Now do I believe that they can have a change of heart and accept Jesus as their savior... yes. Will they be forgiven and cleansed of their sin... I can only refer back to the scripture. Luckily for me as an in perfect human I do not have to carry the burden of judging others.
You, my dear, are 100% right.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I find it indredible that so many people are religious nowadays. Religion was created in a time of chaos where some order was needed. It was probably made by philosophers behind the scenes. However, if you read bibles and scriptures and compare it to the values and morality we have nowadays, many parts would be considered cruel and unjust. Yet somehow religious people find a way to justify such ridiuclous quotes. Most people who are religious do not even abide by the rules of their religion. In many places in the world where religion is taken to the extreme, they commit atrocious acts in the name of their God. How in the world do people not have the rational to see that religion runs in families. How delusional must you be to think if you were born into a muslim family, you would still be christian? Or if you were born into a buddhist family you would be hindu. What makes you think your religion is the most right. Religion is a human made concept. If you have any ounce of logic, you'd be able to deduct that.
I need my faith mainly for the fact since I've been going to church my life has been so much better
I put people in three categories.
1. Evil ( murderers, rapists, terrorists, etc. )
2. Normal ( have a belief and try their best to make others believe in it too, have had done some mistakes ) [most people]
3. Good people ( have/don't have a belief and don't force others on it, have had done some mistakes but try not to do them again, care for others' feelings )
No matter what a religious leader/preacher or God says these categories will always be the same
Lots of people don't even realize, jesus, was jewish. He was supposed to be OUR savior, not christians. He turned his back on us
I think we as christians should always be open to learning from others but also respectfully telling others our views as well
