Most people read Mt 7 and just get as far as “Judge not, lest ye be judged” ...

Most people spout “Judge not, lest ye be judged” because they do not want what they are doing to come under condemnation!

Had a teachable moment with my son the other day. A TV character said "Don't judge me" and I asked the boy, "What does somebody really mean when they say 'Don't judge me?'" It didn't take him long to figure out the lesson: "Don't judge me" is code for "I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I don't want to hear about it." I went on to point out that if someone believes what they're doing is right, they don't ask you to withhold judgment; instead they defend what they're doing.
