These verses are about hypocrisy, and judging others. More prooftexting and more erroneous interpretation.

Mat 15:7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.

Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.

Mat 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Mat 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

Mat 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Jesus repeatedly called the Jewish leaders blind.. following them and the law is the blind following the blind

Now on judging...

“Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” John 7:24

The Greek word for judge is “krino” and it means “to call into question”. This is what Jesus means when He says “judge with righteous judgment”. We are to call into question the unbiblical actions of individuals and discern for ourselves whether or not to follow such a person.

This is something that is sorely lacking in the world today. It seems everyone is afraid of being accused of judging others. When that verse is used it is always in relationship to someone condemning someone else’s seemingly judgmental attitude.
Christians can not issue a final judgement, but we are to judge/call into question the actions of others and use biblical discernment to do so .

As you keeping posting, you have no clue as to what Scripture actually means. What standard will you use to to judge others, then? And even here, you bring up the judgement of one man upon the actions of another, yet you have repeatedly over the years judged others’ salvation.
