To: I'm ALL Right!

Still pontificating the gospel of I'm ALL Right!?

If we take a verse or a part of a verse out of context, we can make the Word of God appear to teach the very opposite of what it really does teach. Which is what you are repeatedly trying to do.

The Bible says:

"Judge not, that you may not be judged. For with whatever judgment you judge, you shall be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, it shall be measured to you again. And why do you look on the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye? Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull the splinter out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First cast the beam out of your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to cast the splinter out of your brother's eye (Matthew 7:1-5).

Notice that it is addressed to a hypocrite, not to those who sincerely want to discern whether a teacher or teaching is true or false to God's Word. And instead of being a prohibition against honest judgment, it is a solemn warning against hypocritical judgment. In fact, the last statement of this Scripture commands sincere judgment "then you shall see clearly to cast the splinter out of your brother's eye."

I am sorry for you. You are completely missing the overarching message of Christ. I pray you will come to understand Christ's love and grace in a real way. Even the wicked can recite Bible verses. Real Love for others is something only Christ can give you. Goodnight.
