verse and applying it to everybody who says, "This is wrong, or that is wrong..." You completely eliminate the ability to discern the difference between Adolf Hitler and Mother Theresa, JUDGE NOT! LEST YE BE JUDGED! Or The Apostle Paul and Osama Bin Laden, JUDGE NOT! LEST YE BE JUDGED! Or even Jesus Christ and Satan.....Judge not...
You see, there is a great problem going around in our society today, and it is that we all want to hang on to this verse that says, "Judge not lest ye be judged" Instead of "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Why have we chosen that verse? Because the Spirit of Satan has told people to choose that verse, because if you choose that verse, you can justify any ungodly thing that you do by simply saying, "Judge Not" I mean, it's in the bible, you can't go against it without saying that you don't believe the bible right?
Wrong...
Check this out... It's important when interpreting scripture to look at the whole of scripture and see how your interpretation lines up before going around using it.
Turn with me if you will to 2 Corinthians 5....
Begin in verse 6, "Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and TRUTH."
Now it gets interesting in the next couple of verses... verse 9
"I wrote unto you in an epistle not to associate with fornicators....Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, OR WITH THE COVETOUS....OR THE EXTORTIONERS...Or WITH IDOLATERS....For then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one, no, do not even eat with them."
Now, here Paul tells us, HAVE NOTHING TO DO with those who are "Called a brother" or those who say they are Christians but are ungodly. That's what the word of God says... And you may say, "Well, the bible says judge not and Paul sound pretty judgmental right there!"
And that's because you still want to hold onto that verse, why I don't know, but you do....Anyway... Moving on to the last 2 verses....
