Judge Not! Lest Ye Be Judged!

Perhaps you are a person who finds yourself using the verse in Matthew 7:1 quite a bit. You just can't stand people who go around judging you, Christians even, who say, "Why are you doing that...Stop that's not good...." You respond with a "Judge Not" and they shut up. Wouldn't the world just be so much better if we could all just get along and stop judging each other?

I mean JESUS SAID! "JUDGE NOT!" And still all of these people in church judge everybody around them.... That's why people don't go to church and that's why you don't go either!

So much hatred goes on in Christianity today doesn't it? All of these "Holier than thou" people walking around, talking about sin as if it were a bad thing.... We're all human... We're not perfect, and we're never going to be perfect until we get to heaven!

Maybe you're one of those people, who really hate it when someone asks you, "Why weren't you in church last Sunday!" or... "Would you do that if Jesus were standing right there beside you?" How dare they ask you those questions. They should mind their own business shouldn't they? After all, you can worship God at home, and Jesus knows that you sin, that's why He died!....

We should just love each other more and be nice to each other and we wouldn't have all of these problems!.....

HOLD ON....

Let me first describe to you what love is.... And what love does....

Rule number 1...God is love.... Rule number 2 God is holy....

What does love do? Love does not allow a person to be nice to another person that is bound and determined to jump off of a cliff into eternal destruction. Love does not look at that person and smile and say, "I wish you the best....God bless..." Love does not sit back and make the person feel good about their decision. Love is not found in a word, love is found in action.... Love does this, It goes to that person and does anything and everything possible to stop that person from jumping off of that cliff, even if it means that the person who is acting out in love gets ridiculed, put down, or even killed in the process...... Jesus displayed this through His death on a cross.....

How is your idea of what love is and what love does fit in with Jesus' definition? Do you sit back and act nice all of the time? Or do you love?

I know, I know.... I'm being judgmental....And I should Judge NOT....

I am sorry my friend, but I must reprove you.

You have taken a verse completely out of context. Judge not. Do you know what you do by taking that
