Judge Dread

Matthew 7

1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You 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.



There was an interesting question posed today from this portion. If B does not do sin X, does that mean is is okay for B to judge person C that does do sin X ?

A carfully worded discussion followed.

But as always, we were brought back to the context of who Jesus was talking to: hypocrites (in v5). It was hypocrisy he was addressing.

We're supposed to judge righteously. And no matter what a person does, we should not judge their actions too quickly and never judge someone's motives for you cant possibly read a person's heart.

Many time's i believe i've got Moody's eye though.

Bad.
