John 7:24  Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.


1 Corinthians 2:15  But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

I.E., Don't judge a book by it's cover. True, but irrelevant to this argument.

1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Speaks to the mind of The Church, not the individual. Keep in mind the context of the entire letter: Paul is writing to them about their divisiveness. Had this comment applied to individuals, each man would likely have imagined his own opinion to be divinely inspired and anarchy would have ensued.

So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." [John 8:7]

I find it interesting that He said, "without sin" instead of "without the sin of adultery".

In for a penny, in for a pound.
