To: I got the rope
Ok, I have my NIV study Bible sitting in front of me. "Judge not or you too will be judged" is pretty much what I was saying, friend. It is not your place but God's to tell me who is a false prophets. It is only Our Lord's. Wouldn't you feel a little sheepish if God told you on judgement day that He loved me as much as you???

My problem was that you told someone else in the thread that "It is not your place to judge, only God's." This is not a biblical principal. It is actually a misinterpretation of Matthew 7. Jesus was rebuking this man for judging others when he was doing the same exact thing they were doing. That is why he called him a hypocrite. So, when you tell us not to judge...are you calling us hypocrites?

BTW, I saw the movie today. If you have never seen violence, and you care not to ever see it, then don't go to this movie. The story follows the 14 stations of the cross, so I can see how a Catholic would appreciate this film more. I grew up a Catholic, but I am a Baptist now. I must admit that when Jesus reached the fourth station...I wept. This is a very powerful movie. I recommend it, and I thank Y'shua for my salvation.

From the footnotes:

Footnotes
1 [1-12] In Matthew 7:1 Matthew returns to the basic traditional material of the sermon (Luke 6:37-38, 41-42). The governing thought is the correspondence between conduct toward one's fellows and God's conduct toward the one so acting.

2 [1] This is not a prohibition against recognizing the faults of others, which would be hardly compatible with Matthew 7:5, 6 but against passing judgment in a spirit of arrogance, forgetful of one's own faults.
