Today's Verse:
kjv@Matthew:7:1 kjv@Matthew:7:2 kjv@Matthew:7:3 kjv@Matthew:7:4 kjv@Matthew:7:5 kjv@Matthew:7:6 Interesting that those who quote this passage as meaning that we should not judge are using it to judge those who do. kjv@John:7:24 He calls us to judge righteous judgment. kjv@Matthew:23:23 Pharisees omit weighter matters of judgment. kjv@Mark:6:11 Disciples to shake dust off feet as testimony against inhospitable. kjv@Isaiah:5:20 woe to calling evil good and good evil. The church is placed in a no win situation by it's critics by the misuse if this passage, damned if it does judge and damned if it doesn't; in their judgment it can do no right in any measure. In response, most believers choose the non-judgmental path of least resistance so as not to be outwardly targeted, but they are. The passage almost seems to apply to the critics and the soft bellied more often and to a greater extent than the adherents. Judgment typically is better suited to established counsels. The church is no different as long as the counsels are clear and of sound judgment. The universal church took after itself throughout the Reformation and a great measure of injustice was mete out. The inability to judge ones own matters correctly in clinical terms is called insanity. The inability to help others to judge matters they've yet to correctly judge is called heartlessness. Likewise, the ability to help others in unproductive ways is called foolishness. Further Resources: Comment Board:Matthew:7:1-6
