I have wrestled with the quote, ‘Judge not lest ye be judged’ and I knew it couldn’t possibly mean what I had been told. Thank you very much for its not that I am super critical of others but I could not reconcile it with the actions and words of Christ in other instances.

Thanks again, I knew there was a reason I hung out on FR with people smarter then me.

Merry Christmas!

"I have wrestled with the quote, I have too....simply put, to 'judge' someone is to say , I'm free from sin so I can condemn you for your sin....in the same way that a court judge can't be a felon...Reference : the passage of the woman caught in adultery.

what burns me is 'know it alls' that quote this verse as if no one can say this or that is sin....We need to judge sin, maybe not the person but the action that is sin....that IS necessary.
