But you are using that scripture incorrectly and out of context.

Please enlighten me.

Do you really want to know or are you being sarcastic?

Briefly I can tell you that we are not to judge a mans soul - nor damn him to hell - only G_d can do that. We are not to judge according to our own righteousness - but instead judge according to the Judgment already made by G_d.

Jesus tells us to judge all things, to judge the fruit of a man, to judge each other in the ways of the Lord. For us to obey Christ and be light we must judge the darkness.

We are to determine right and wrong and stand against wrong.

Many people confuse the meaning of the word Judge when taken out of context or leave out the clarifiers. The Context of Mat. 7 is pretty clear that Judgment of sin is alright, for a non hypocrite

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Mk. 4.24

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.



I can give you many chapters and verses if you like, but I doubt you would.
