🔨 Judge Not! (Does The Bible Really Say That?) Pet Doctrines #6

Focus Verse: Matthew 7:1-5 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.  (2)  For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.  (3)  Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?  (4)  Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?  (5)  You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.”

Before we go any further, is Jesus telling us to never remove the plank out of others eyes? No, He did not say that. He said to get yourselves right, then you can see clearly to help others. As we see Paul expressing the same concept:

Romans 2:1-3 “Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.  (2)  We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.  (3)  Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?”

So, as we can clearly “SEE”, there is nuance and perspective that needs to be understood to fully grasp at exactly what Jesus was saying. 

The first step to unravel this ball of yarn is to look at what the word “Judge” actually means. Most take it to mean to make a determination of wrong or right, good and evil, concerning another’s actions. Yet, we find it is not a determination of wrong and right, yet more like a condemning of an individual’s soul. We can look at a murderer and determine that is wrong, and let them know they are a murderer. But we are not God and cannot tell them that they can never receive salvation after the murder.
