Why can God judge us but he says judge ye not lest ye be judged?

Because he is God and he can be a hypocrite if he wants.

Because God has final judgement. We are not judged by God until we stand before Him. Because of our many sins we do not have the right to judge others. Judgement is not the same as recognizing a wrong doing. If you were to see someone stealing, by recognizing it as being wrong you have not judged. Acknowledging wrong doing and even stating it is wrong is not judgement, it is in the condemnation that there is judgement.

We are not judged by God until judgment day. And we are told not to judge others because we will be judged as well. Just as the Bible says Give and it will be given back to you Good measure pressed down shaken together running over. If you are judgemental you will recieve judgment. If you are merciful you will recieve mercy. Which do you want? I will take the mercy.

He's worried about his image. Seeing as he has no sense of time, he has trouble keeping up with the world of fashion.

This matter of Christians not judging comes up again and again, but nobody ever seems to learn. So, here is my feeble attempt at straightening this out. The source, for most people, of the idea that Christians should not judge comes from Matt. 7:1: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” If you read this single verse on its own, you may very well come to the conclusion that Jesus is telling people not to judge, but then comes the small matter of context. It turns out that sentences in the Bible, like every other written document ever produced, need to be read in context. We need to know what the surrounding verses say in order to understand this verse.

If you continue to read Matthew 7, through verse 5, you will see what Jesus is talking about. In verse 5, Jesus says, “You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Here is the key to what Jesus means. He is speaking out against hypocritical and self-righteous judgments. He is not telling us to never judge; he is telling us how to judge rightly.

In fact, it would be extremely strange for Jesus to tell us to never judge in Matt. 7:1 when just a few verses later, in verse 6, he tells Christians to beware “dogs” and “pigs” so that we don’t waste time giving them knowledge of God. The only way you can detect a metaphorical “dog” or “pig” is to judge other people’s actions!

There are, in fact, many more verses in the New Testament that exhort believers to judge other people (e.g., Matt. 7:15-16; John 7:24; 1 Cor. 5:9; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Phil. 3:2; 1 John 4:1; 1 Thess. 5:21). To say that Jesus teaches us not to judge other people’s actions is obviously and plainly wrong. But how should Christians judge? Here are some biblical guidelines. One should judge:
1. Consistently, not hypocritically
2. With Humility, not superiority
3. With Facts, not assumptions
4. Words and Deeds, not motive and intent
5. Biblical Issues, not personal preferences
6. Sins, not sinners
7. Temporal Matters, not eternal matters (salvation)
8. With a Goal to Show People Christ, not how good you are

Easier said than done, but that’s what our Lord commands. Rather than making the extreme claim that we should never judge, Christians need to figure out how to do it correctly. With God’s help, it can be done!

Ok but just because he 'runs' the earth does not mean that he can be a hypocrite. But then again, he IS a good example for the close minded hypocrites that follow him. I guess it takes a hypocrite to lead hypocrites.

God is omniscent, and so has total access to all facets of a situation. ONLY He can judge correctly. When we presume to know everything, we make ourselves into false gods, giving judgments on suspect data. Giving false judgments is unfair and therefore sinful.

Because smite makes right.

An example of this is that we don't allow just anyone to pull the trigger on a murderer, we have judges and courts that only have that authority, even though the result is a dead murderer either way.

If you believe in the concept of God then he is the creator of us and has the capacity and right to judge.
I make no comment as to whether I believe

well if you believe in him he is the creator of all correct?
He has the right to damnate the entire plane called earth doesnt he?
And the power to replace our faces with asses?

God believes in the 'do as I say not as I do' philosphy

because every thing is his creation so there for we must respect his decision
