In 1 Corinthians 4 you talk about how people in the church should not judge. As a brother in Christ I would like to challenge that In Matthew 7:1-6 it’s says ““Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye. “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.”
he says not to judge UNTIL you have removed the log from your own eye, meaning don’t be a hypocrite. The Bible tells us to “test the spirits to see if the are from god because there are many false prophets.” We are to discern and judge with wisdom and not be a hypocrite in the process.
I was enjoying your podcasts until I heard this. To not judge means to be “all inclusive” which we are not to do.
That is an interesting interpretation but it is not what it said. It said “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.”
