” “Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2“For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3“Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4“Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5“You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
Question... Are you judging me for judging someone elses judgemental comment? .... Think about it!
Have i judged you? I merely pointed out that Christ in scripture never had a conversation exactly like you described and pointed out the context for the “pearls befor swine”.
As for judging lets look at the statement you cited again...the implication is that obviously a man with many faults shouldn’t be judging the one that has smaller faults. It doesn’t say however that no should never make any judgments at all! The statement is saying if you are going to judge another, make sure you are in the moral position to do so.(Take the log out of ones own eye before you can see clearly enough to take the speck out of your brother’s eye)
If you judge me for my supposed “judging” are you in fact claiming to be in the moral and spiritual position to tell me that I should not judge? How have you then concluded that I have logs in my own eye and not specks? Can you see clearly enough to help me get them out?
By the way, logs should be easier to remove then specks...easier to grab a hold of!
