The pride and arrogance of the American Evangelical is truly something to behold.
I am one of thos American Evangelicals and I agree with the rest of your post.
“Judge not, lest ye be judged.”
Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 1 Corinthians 6:3
Jesus was NOT teaching that we should not judge but that we should make sure that our judgments were righteous and not motivated by self interests. So please don’t use this tired old saw to try and shut people down as it is very clearly unscriptural and often used as a tool by those on the wide road to destruction to stop up the mouths of them warnings them of where they are headed.
By your theological structure, no one can judge anything or anyone. Therefore, the Bible becomes worthless and unusable.
In Matt 7, Jesus was speaking about hypocrisy; not whether or not a believer is to judge/not judge.
