The liberals have almost destroyed the morality of this country with their perpetual falsehoods, one of which is the dishonest use of Matthew 7:1-5 without considering its context and application.
The liberal Bible hater's purpose of using that verse is to remove the cultural moral rejection that should go along with the practice of sin. Too bad so many people have bought into this fundamental liberal dishonesty.
For many, many years liberals have been lying about those verses and lying about their real intent for quoting those verses in the first place.
The liberal's intent is to deceive the public and handcuff Christians so that they may take away any cultural and moral discouragement for lives of sin.
I think the point is one of judging who will be saved. That is where we lack the authority.
