What did Matthew say about judging people? Judge not and you shall not be judged...

Me I don't judge people. I'll let GOD judge me. He'll judge me that I don't criticize people who are different.

"What did Matthew say about judging people?"

To judge righteously, lol.

Maybe if the cherry picking stopped and "not that religious" ignoramuses actual understand context the "...see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye" that summarizes the WHOLE point might become clearer.

Also "not that religious people", quit confusing earthly behavioral judgments to eternal condemnation.

The whole verse is : “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

It's about hypocrites, not about judging. We must JUDGE the difference between right and wrong. Even Jesus judged, "Go. And sin no more" is a judgement. Sin needs to be called sin and not called "being different".

He says to judge according to the Word of God.

Actually, there isn't a single verse in the Bible referencing ANYTHING that Saint Matthew ever said. Jesus Christ said a lot of thing and Matthew wrote them down.

However, the verse you reference is about being hypocritical, not judgmental.

Me I don't judge people. I'll let GOD judge me. He'll judge me that I don't criticize people who are different.

Really? If someone is doing something you know to be wrong or dangerous, you say nothing?

If a small child is about to wander into traffic you say nothing?

If you see someone breaking into your neighbor's house you say nothing?

Now, I'm going to guess you think these are ridiculous examples and that you would certainly MAKE A JUDGMENT and then say something.

So, assuming that's the case, why are you willing to standby and watch a person engage in a lifestyle that puts them at a far higher rate of serious disease, will significantly shorten their lifespan, nearly always leads to severe depression and will likely damn them to Hell?

It seems to me that those of us who are willing to tell the truth about homosexuality care about homosexuals a lot more than "nonjudgmental" people like you.

The bible instructs us clearly to judge evil in order to keep away from it:

1 Thessalonians 5:21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil.

Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the middle of wolves: be you therefore wise as serpents...


As for judgment, see post 254.
