well for all you little Ms. Scriptures...
I guess you forgot Matthew 7:1

I believe your attack is misdirected. I made no judgment, I simply answered the question posted.

And where did you get “little Ms. Scriptures”?

Finally - nope, no bloody nose. When taking scripture out of context, it is a good idea to find some other way to defend your position. Using your interpretation of your out-of-context quote would mean that we need to abolish our court systems, and none of us are thus qualified to make determination about who to vote for.

You see - “judge not, lest ye be judged” is actually, when taken in context, is showing that we have no business judging others for the same sins that we hold in our own lives. I would venture that this bit of scripture is one of the most taken out of context in the entire New Testament - likely in the top 10 of misused and misapplied verses in the Bible.

I assume you know where that quote is found in the Bible? If so, then look up the context (you really need to start in the preceding chapter and read through).
