@@danielnason1955 do you have a different interpretation? I'm just curious. Given the context I also have that interpretation.. not to make hypocritical judgments. And the other scripture to "judge righteously". I interpret as we shouldn't judge to hurt/embarrass/etc. someone but "judge" to help them(and do it privately lol) Sometimes people don't know they're sinning or doing something wrong without a loving friend that tells them. That's how I am anyway. I was oblivious to some of my own shortcomings/issues without people telling me.. I'm glad people did tho!
@@Yo-0o0o0o0oI am on the whole literal with what is written and how it is written in the bible. Am familiar with Matthew 7:1 and the following verses and when someone says “it’s not a command not to judge it is actually a command on how to judge “ , this in opposition to what Jesus said. Then he tries to explain why he said that just didn’t cut it for me. But that’s my interpretation and I also am familiar with being incorrect so that is why I caution anyone when being told some new revelation to have discernment. May God bless us all.
And then a matter of moments ago I was corrected. Watching Bishop Mar Mari from Australia and he asks that we all are open to the different interpretations of the Bible, theological, biblical to contemporary. Praise God
EVERYONE must judge, for their own safety; they just have to "judge righteously", IOW, judging with compassion, charity, grace and not judging rashly!!
This exact phrase no longer appears in the bible. There is a phenomenon called the Mandela Effect (which is a terrible name for it) which describes how things in reality are changing. I would not have believed it had I not seen and experienced it with my own eyes. The KJV Bible seems to be heavily affected. Nothing is as it seems.

How telling that if Christian soteriology is correct the most important factor that differentiates those deserving eternal paradise and those deserving eternal torment is the geographical location one is born into. If one is born in Saudi Arabia there is about a 95% chance that you will belive in the "wrong" God and reject jesus and thus receive eternal damnation in a lake of fire. However be born into America and magically there is about a 95% chance that you will believe in the "right" God and thus receive eternal salvation. 👏👏 Allegedly this is the justice of a perfect omnibenevolent omnipotent omniscient loving God. The fact that many people who reject jesus often lead devout pious lives and follow very strict and demanding religious practices with regards to worship, diet, clothing and relationships is not a factor, these people seemingly reject jesus because they *"want to sin"* 🤔🤫 Some live lives of isolation and quiet contemplation taking vows of celibacy and silence but the loving jesus still deems these people unworthy of anything other than eternal torment. Conversely however a murderer so long as he truly repents and accepts Jesus on his death bed he can spend an eternity in paradise with those he murdered. Unless of course those people also found the "evidence" for your God unconvincing, in which case the murderer would be looking down from paradise on the people he killed as they too suffered for eternity with me 😡

@Gek177 Luke 12:57 “Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right? John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” 1 Corinthians 2:15-16 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 5:3 3For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 12For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.” 1 Corinthians 6:1-6 1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law [a judge] before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4If then you have [a]judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? 5I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge [discern] between his brethren? 6But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers! 1 Corinthinains 14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge
But but but, pardon me but how can we judge, though. He knows, he judges, but we don't know. How could we judge when we don't know? How can we be righteous and judge others when we are flawed, imperfect and fallible? What happens when righteous Christians judge other righteous Christians, and fight and kill each other? Who gets to heaven when both believed in Jesus and accepted Jesus as their savior?

Yes, that is the poison of Christianity. Instead of taking responsibility for your decisions, you just ask Jesus to forgive you for anything you did wrong. Make sure you're really sorry, and you really feel it. Then, all is made well.
People who insist on not judging not only judge everyone else but say that because they don't want God's word to judge them. Because they know it's right.

@@harryfaber Hey, you guys are the ones that say the words of Jesus actually mean something to you... It's not my fault that you ignore them.... yet pretend to worship the guy.
Just as the English word *love* has several meanings, so also do the words *judge & judgment* have. All too often when people say, "Who are you to judge me?" they usually mean, "Don't condemn me," or "Don't belittle me for this or that." Few actually understand or care to know what that word means. Most do not want to be held responsible for their words & actions or for who they are, and that's a condemnation aspect of the word. Not only are we allowed to judge, we are commissioned to help others see the clear path of their acts and/or words have consequences, and also need to understand there are more than one meaning of that word. There are two main definitions: 1. The word can mean to *evaluate* a situation, event, action, words, etc. It involves investigating whether something is true or false... thus we make a judgment call at the conclusion of collecting and discerning what is going on. 2. The other aspect is to condemn. We are warned not to condemn someone for what they do since that involves placing value upon them as well as to what degree a penalty should be meted out upon them. That is for God to do and not us.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’ve always believed this to be the correct interpretation of this passage. It’s been the most misquoted and misunderstood verse in the Bible.
I did a study once that showed me the firsr part of the word hypocritef is "hypo" and means low or subpar or by the wrong standard. The second part is "crit" which means to judge. Jesus calls them hypocrites for judging according to men's "low" standards instead of His high or just or holy standard.
Frank, My comment is not about your content it is about the background music. I love music and it is lovely but very distracting to me and I am sure others are bothered about it too. The only way I can describe it is when a huge fly keeps buzzing around your head that you can't hit with a fly swatter. I would much rather keep my focus on what you are preaching than to listen to a competing secondary sound. Other than that your teaching is spot on. Your examples about witnessing are very practical. You get to the point of how to "address the elephant in the room" when it comes to witnessing about Jesus. Thank you for your ministry. Sandra Taylor,
Yep- exactly. I have had to explain this to some of my friends and family on several occasions when they accuse me of sounding “judgmental” when I give an analysis that is critical of a certain person (or group of people) who do sinful things. When they accuse me of “judging” I ask them “well, what is wrong with judging as long as the judgement aligns with God’s word?” Then they often try to turn it against me and say something like “Didn’t Jesus say not to judge others?” Then I answer “No, actually He didn’t say that- at least not how how think He did. What Jesus actually said was “Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.” (John 7:24). And then I explain- the better your relationship is with God and the more you conform your life to Christ then the better you will be able to discern right from wrong in every situation. That’s what Jesus truly wants- for us to judge correctly- not for the purpose of condemning others, but rather so that we can transform ourselves into holier people by basing our decisions on His example.
Hey guys, I need some real help please. I'm 41 with a 13 year old son and I'm quite sick, having a hard time recovering. I've been sick going on four years now. I have Antiphospholipid syndrome with pulmonary embolisms on my lungs and deep vain thrombosis on both legs, calves and thighs. I've spent 10 days in the hospital in August (two visits) and find myself in the hospital more times then not lately. I need prayer for my health first and foremost please. My name is Chris. Please pray for my son Mason that he keep his heart in God's hands even if something were to happen to me. It'd also help if I could get some prayer for helping with the utilities and food. I've been able to keep rent covered by selling off my things and working as much as I can, it's just the utilities and good that is difficult. Thank you all in advance and I'm sorry to bother everyone. I've never asked anyone online for prayers but I just really need them right now as I'm in trouble.

Sometimes others say don´t judge, when it´s about explaining the bible, God´s word. It´s often not so easy, but also we have to warn. (of course also watching and praying for ourselves).
AMEN! I’ve been saying this for years. In Luke 6 where Jesus is saying “Judge not” he’s talking about the condemning, looking down your nose, type of judgment, not discernment. Besides that, judging isn’t always negative. When you say something good about someone or approve what they’re doing, that’s a judgment also. Hebrews 11:11 it says Sarah “judged” God faithful who had promised. So whenever we believe and act on a promise of God, we’re actually judging Him that He will do what He said He would do. Selah!
No one, I repeat NO ONE has a problem with judging or being judged. They just despise being called wrong/bad/evil when they're guilty of being wrong/bad/evil. The next time anyone says that it's wrong to judge ask them if they keep that same energy when they're judged to have done good/well? Oh and what does Jesus say in John 7:24?
You some kind of expert? Pretty arrogant of you to make a statement like that. But then again, that is to be accepted from anyone who insists there is an invisible guy in the sky.
Anti-Christians are ready to accuse Christians of being judgmental when they admonish the sinner. However, calling out someone for “doing” a sin is not being judgmental. It’s demonstrating mercy because “the wages of sin is death.”
We are indwelt by the Holy Spirit immediately upon hearing and believing the gospel of grace. Therefore we have a power of discernment to know right and wrong. While believers still struggle with our sin nature, we do recognize sin as opposition to God. Not being a hypocrite is the key. Also, it should be made clear that while believers can point out the sin and sinful lifestyles of individuals or groups, only God makes the final and ultimate judgment at the great white throne.
when people telling you about what you did is wrong, according to the scriptures that is not judgement it is a reminder. reminding is different from judging.
I look at it this way ..... saying "X" is a sin is not judging . What does a judge do in a court ? Informing someone "X" is a sin and the cost of cited action is "Z" is not the same to me as "passing sentence" on someone . I always found it amazing that the first thing people do when they start feeling guilt or conviction they start screaming hypocrite .
Jesus told us to pray for forgiveness of our trespassesas as we forgive those who trespass against us. How can we forgive others if we have not first made a judgment that we have been wronged?
We are obligated to tell a sinner what they are doing is wrong. What it all boils down to is trying to save a person's Soul. Eternity is forever, Christ died on the Cross for all of us, he paid the price for our Sins, all we have to do in return is Love and accept him.
“You can’t say something is bad or a sin that’s judging me!!!” >No that’s discernment “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME” >So you’d rather God judge you for eternity than me say you should stop doing something and you feel bad enough to stop?
Amen, I don’t understand why I have to explain this so many times to fellow Christians. Which is a whole other judgement to bring up, I don’t like “Christian” it should be follower of Christ.
Jesus Christ KNOWS that all persons on earth who honor and obey him as their Master and Heavenly King will also be favored and honored in return by his GOD and Heavenly Father with ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death as written in Revelation 21: 3, 4. GOD KNOWS that the teachings of his Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" written in Luke 4: 43 and John 11: 25, 26 are the guarantee that his Worshippers who died recently and thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's Followers and disciples, and many others will all be RESURRECTED back to life in the right and proper time so they can peacefully, happily, and abundantly live and exist on earth forever as citizens and subjects of the "KINGDOM of GOD" or His Kingdom and fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, goodness, generosities, compassions, favors, and blessings for eternity under the loving and kind rulership, guidance, and protection of his Christ as his Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth as written in Revelation 11: 15.
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye
We don't judge people for that is God's job. But we do judge sin for what it is. Why be chained with something that is in critical crosshairs of justified judgment.
With respect to judging others, the Scriptures are clear. "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Matthew 7:1 "Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way." Romans 14:13 "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:" John 5:22 The Father has committed ALL judgment to the Son. In Matthew 7:1-2, the word judge is used in the sense of condemnation, this is evident from the parallel record in Luke 6:37. This shows, not only that those who judge others condemn themselves, as stated by Paul, but also that those who do not condemn others will not be condemned. It is also equally important to understand that this is the judgment of the person, not the deed or the actions of the person. If I have just witnessed someone commit an offense against the Law, then it is my duty to correct them and to show them the error of their ways. In doing this I do not judge the person, but only their actions or deeds. I do not judge them, for there is only one judge, and that is Christ. This idea is not readily understood, nor accepted by mainstream Christendom, for many say that they have the right to judge others righteously, but in that, they are confused.

I also heard that phrase or used that verse many times among the woke and lgbtq advocates and ideologues. I'm not gonna fault them if they read the bible or that verse in a way that they just read a newspaper or other books without doing proper hermeneutics. Due to confirmation bias we tend to look and read the bible and interpret it based on what we want to and just dismiss its context, origin, historical setting and intended meaning. I hope and pray that they will come to the true knowledge of God so that they may open their eyes and accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour so that they will break free from the bondage of sin and death.😊
lol… I’ve said that to people… why are you judging me for judging? But, in reality, I’m pointing out clear crimes that even atheists or most people would object to.
I've seen people spread memes around that say, "Judge me when you are perfect." Which I find interesting, since those who say this have zero qualms about judging others. What does this tell you about what they think about themselves?
Jesus also said that we will know others by their "fruits". That means we are supposed to be "fruit" inspectors, which requires us to judge. The thing is, before we judge someone, we need all of the facts, in order that we can rightly judge someone. If I see a pastor walking into a bar, and I go around saying that he's a drunk, that is a snap judgement and is to be condemned. You don't know why he's gone into a bar. He may very well need to use a phone, someone may have called him to come help them, etc. Know the facts first, before opening your mouth and spread false information.
I believe Jesus was actually saying, “Do not condemn! For when you do, you are using your own personal standard of judgment {that you can’t even live up to} instead of judging with righteous judgment.” When we use righteous judgment, we are discerning that there is an issue of ungodliness, and our recourse is to “turn a sinner {who has wandered from the truth} from the error of his way.” (Jas. 5:19-20) Finally: “I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler-not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.” (1 Cor. 5:9-13) We have to make judgments. How else can we know when to come to the spiritual aid of a brother who has wanted from the faith?
I find it mildly annoying when someone says "don't judge me" when pointing out a bad behavior. I usually don't even think of it as a judgement per se, but more of just a way of trying to help someone by pointing out a bad behavior they would be better off correcting themselves. When I think of a judgement, I think of it as more along the lines as someone correcting/punishing someone else for a confirmed illegal behavior, à la what an actual judge does.
1 Corinthians 11:28-32 NIV Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. [29] For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. [30] That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. [31] But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. [32] Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.
True, Jesus said, “Do not judge me,” but what would you do if you stood before Muhammad? He did not say, “Do not judge anyone ever.” He said,do not Support injustice. Sorry I made a mistake in writing😳
To ad to that perfect delivery, I would also say, We were allowed to see the Truth, because we are seeking him But it's God's Truth, and we are just sharing His judgement. Jesus is coming back in Judgement, 1st time was grace and the suffering servant, but when he comes back he will defeat Israel's enemies, and all who believe in him shall not perish, So repent, Because that's part of believing in him. Salvation is a free gift of God, but a True believer will walk in the faith to the best of their ability, even though we are not perfect, we will pray and seek after his righteousness ❤ 🙏
I always tell people who say this, to finish the entire quote and then have to explain it to them. Jesus is telling us that we cannot help another person, while doing what they are doing because it is futile. We must first admit and repent of our own sins that we may begin to help another with theirs. You cannot help someone overcome something unless you yourself have already gone through the same thing. I actually had someone come back and say that is not what Jesus meant. They actually claimed that Jesus was telling them to remove an actual 'log,' from their eyes.
Jesus said: "Do not judge, or you too will be judged". What does it mean? Many people think that it means: "avoid judging". This is NOT what it means. This is a call for the RIGHT judgement. If you are capable of the RIGHT judgement, and you can apply that judgement to YOURSELF too, then you CAN judge, and you even SHOULD judge. Thus, for a person of high integrity, judging is natural. People who insist on "avoiding judging", often have a lot to hide. That means that they are very sinful, and want to avoid judgement and punishment.
"Right and wrong" are words that are relative to the actualization of a desired goal or outcome, absent said goal, the terms right and wrong become meaningless. My "goal" is the actualization of a healthy flourishing coperative society based upon our common desires with respect to wellbeing and the values it incorporates, empathy, respect, equality, altruism, reciprocity. That is why one "ought" to treat another's as you would like to be treated, One "ought not steal if you wish to live in a society were property is not stolen. One "OUGHT" not murder if they want to live in a society were people are not murdered. This is our "reference point" or standard. One "should" or "ought" do something if Its conducive with the actualisation of a situation that conforms with one's goals and values. These "values" themselves are subjective by definition however it is entirely possible to make Objective declarations or decisions 'Within a pre-agreed framework of subjective values'. *What is your "goal" and why 'OUGHT' one do what your subjective God desires* ?? 🙄🤔
@@trumpbellend6717 There is no right or wrong in your Godless world! The Godless can never claim to have been wronged. Only weak. Robbed? You were too weak to keep what you have! Raped? You were too weak to control your body! Killed? You were too weak to live! In your Godless world, Darwin rules
Just a comment about the verse numbering. Without the reference number we would have to become a lot more familiar with the Scripture. In Luke 4 (that's a reference) Jesus has a scroll handed to Him and He opens it right where He needed to read from. In Luke 20 (another reference) Jesus refers to the "Burning bush account". We need to become familiar with the Scriptures, just as Jesus is. That said, I obviously use references.
In context it is referencing one who claims to be a fellow believer.not someone who is lost. It is one believer calling out another believer when they see behavior that is unworthy of the walk of a Christian. Sinfully behavior destroys your witness. And gives unbelievers a rock to throw and an excuse. So the rub is do you keep your mouth shut because they will get mad because they have been exposed or do you say something and still get mad because they have been exposed.
Judging someone to be "judgmental" is patently hypocritical. So if they really believe what they're saying, they should keep their mouth shut, just as they are demanding of you.
I have sections memorized and this is one of them. Not intentionally but just from habitual study it stuck. When someone one pulls Matthew 7 I just quote the passage and take them through it verse by verse.
"It's not a command not to judge, it's a command on how to judge"
Wow, this is a great way to sum it up.
This is but one man’s interpretation my friend. Have a chat with God and ask for discernment for what this guy is preaching.
@@danielnason1955 do you have a different interpretation? I'm just curious.
Given the context I also have that interpretation.. not to make hypocritical judgments.
And the other scripture to "judge righteously". I interpret as we shouldn't judge to hurt/embarrass/etc. someone but "judge" to help them(and do it privately lol)
Sometimes people don't know they're sinning or doing something wrong without a loving friend that tells them.
That's how I am anyway. I was oblivious to some of my own shortcomings/issues without people telling me.. I'm glad people did tho!
@@Yo-0o0o0o0oI am on the whole literal with what is written and how it is written in the bible. Am familiar with Matthew 7:1 and the following verses and when someone says “it’s not a command not to judge it is actually a command on how to judge “ , this in opposition to what Jesus said. Then he tries to explain why he said that just didn’t cut it for me. But that’s my interpretation and I also am familiar with being incorrect so that is why I caution anyone when being told some new revelation to have discernment. May God bless us all.
And then a matter of moments ago I was corrected. Watching Bishop Mar Mari from Australia and he asks that we all are open to the different interpretations of the Bible, theological, biblical to contemporary.
Praise God
EVERYONE must judge, for their own safety; they just have to "judge righteously", IOW, judging with compassion, charity, grace and not judging rashly!!
"Judge not lest you be judged" seems to be the favorite verse of the unbeliever and the disobedient Christian.
This exact phrase no longer appears in the bible. There is a phenomenon called the Mandela Effect (which is a terrible name for it) which describes how things in reality are changing.

How telling that if Christian soteriology is correct the most important factor that differentiates those deserving eternal paradise and those deserving eternal torment is the geographical location one is born into.
If one is born in Saudi Arabia there is about a 95% chance that you will belive in the "wrong" God and reject jesus and thus receive eternal damnation in a lake of fire. However be born into America and magically there is about a 95% chance that you will believe in the "right" God and thus receive eternal salvation. 👏👏
Allegedly this is the justice of a perfect omnibenevolent omnipotent omniscient loving God. The fact that many people who reject jesus often lead devout pious lives and follow very strict and demanding religious practices with regards to worship, diet, clothing and relationships is not a factor, these people seemingly reject jesus because they *"want to sin"* 🤔🤫 Some live lives of isolation and quiet contemplation taking vows of celibacy and silence but the loving jesus still deems these people unworthy of anything other than eternal torment.
Conversely however a murderer so long as he truly repents and accepts Jesus on his death bed he can spend an eternity in paradise with those he murdered. Unless of course those people also found the "evidence" for your God unconvincing, in which case the murderer would be looking down from paradise on the people he killed as they too suffered for eternity with me 😡

It's not my fault that you ignore them.... yet pretend to worship the guy.
Just as the English word *love* has several meanings, so also do the words *judge & judgment* have. All too often when people say, "Who are you to judge me?" they usually mean, "Don't condemn me," or "Don't belittle me for this or that." Few actually understand or care to know what that word means. Most do not want to be held responsible for their words & actions or for who they are, and that's a condemnation aspect of the word.
Not only are we allowed to judge, we are commissioned to help others see the clear path of their acts and/or words have consequences, and also need to understand there are more than one meaning of that word.
There are two main definitions:
1. The word can mean to *evaluate* a situation, event, action, words, etc. It involves investigating whether something is true or false... thus we make a judgment call at the conclusion of collecting and discerning what is going on.
2. The other aspect is to condemn. We are warned not to condemn someone for what they do since that involves placing value upon them as well as to what degree a penalty should be meted out upon them. That is for God to do and not us.

The only way I can describe it is when a huge fly keeps buzzing around your head that you can't hit with a fly swatter. I would much rather keep my focus on what you are preaching than to listen to a competing secondary sound. Other than that your teaching is spot on. Your examples about witnessing are very practical. You get to the point of how to "address the elephant in the room" when it comes to witnessing about Jesus. Thank you for your ministry.
Sandra Taylor,
Judgment, conclusions, determinations, decisions, these must be made countless times during any given day.
Discernment and Judgement go hand in hand. Just as prayers without actions mean nothing.
Yep- exactly. I have had to explain this to some of my friends and family on several occasions when they accuse me of sounding “judgmental” when I give an analysis that is critical of a certain person (or group of people) who do sinful things. When they accuse me of “judging” I ask them “well, what is wrong with judging as long as the judgement aligns with God’s word?” Then they often try to turn it against me and say something like “Didn’t Jesus say not to judge others?” Then I answer “No, actually He didn’t say that- at least not how how think He did. What Jesus actually said was “Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.” (John 7:24). And then I explain- the better your relationship is with God and the more you conform your life to Christ then the better you will be able to discern right from wrong in every situation. That’s what Jesus truly wants- for us to judge correctly- not for the purpose of condemning others, but rather so that we can transform ourselves into holier people by basing our decisions on His example.
Hey guys,
I need some real help please. I'm 41 with a 13 year old son and I'm quite sick, having a hard time recovering. I've been sick going on four years now. I have Antiphospholipid syndrome with pulmonary embolisms on my lungs and deep vain thrombosis on both legs, calves and thighs.
I've spent 10 days in the hospital in August (two visits) and find myself in the hospital more times then not lately.
I need prayer for my health first and foremost please. My name is Chris. Please pray for my son Mason that he keep his heart in God's hands even if something were to happen to me. It'd also help if I could get some prayer for helping with the utilities and food. I've been able to keep rent covered by selling off my things and working as much as I can, it's just the utilities and good that is difficult.
Thank you all in advance and I'm sorry to bother everyone. I've never asked anyone online for prayers but I just really need them right now as I'm in trouble.
We will pray for you and your son.
I had never heard of this syndrome, hardly a surprise since I am not, according to the studies, in any of the groups thought to be at risk.
Though I have no children, I'm 42. My name is Tim, I have befriended some of my brothers in Christ at church who are around my age, I'm also on good and friendly terms with my lead Pastor who is less than a calendar year older than me.

AMEN! I’ve been saying this for years. In Luke 6 where Jesus is saying “Judge not” he’s talking about the condemning, looking down your nose, type of judgment, not discernment. Besides that, judging isn’t always negative. When you say something good about someone or approve what they’re doing, that’s a judgment also. Hebrews 11:11 it says Sarah “judged” God faithful who had promised. So whenever we believe and act on a promise of God, we’re actually judging Him that He will do what He said He would do. Selah!

No one, I repeat NO ONE has a problem with judging or being judged. They just despise being called wrong/bad/evil when they're guilty of being wrong/bad/evil.

Amen✝️🕊️
Lol!
We are indwelt by the Holy Spirit immediately upon hearing and believing the gospel of grace. Therefore we have a power of discernment to know right and wrong. While believers still struggle with our sin nature, we do recognize sin as opposition to God. Not being a hypocrite is the key. Also, it should be made clear that while believers can point out the sin and sinful lifestyles of individuals or groups, only God makes the final and ultimate judgment at the great white throne.
100% agree
I have made a judgement that listening to Frank is valuable.
This same explination goes for "who is without sin cast the first stone".
John 7:24 “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” Jesus says to judge righteous judgement in this verse.
We are commanded to “ Judge righteous judgment”.
when people telling you about what you did is wrong, according to the scriptures that is not judgement it is a reminder.

I always found it amazing that the first thing people do when they start feeling guilt or conviction they start screaming hypocrite .
Jesus told us to pray for forgiveness of our trespassesas as we forgive those who trespass against us. How can we forgive others if we have not first made a judgment that we have been wronged?
We are obligated to tell a sinner what they are doing is wrong. What it all boils down to is trying to save a person's Soul. Eternity is forever, Christ died on the Cross for all of us, he paid the price for our Sins, all we have to do in return is Love and accept him.
“You can’t say something is bad or a sin that’s judging me!!!”
>No that’s discernment
“ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME”
>So you’d rather God judge you for eternity than me say you should stop doing something and you feel bad enough to stop?
Amen, I don’t understand why I have to explain this so many times to fellow Christians. Which is a whole other judgement to bring up, I don’t like “Christian” it should be follower of Christ.
Jesus Christ KNOWS
that all persons on earth who honor and obey him as their Master and Heavenly King
will
also be favored and honored in return by his GOD and Heavenly Father with ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death as written in Revelation 21: 3, 4.
GOD KNOWS
that the teachings of his Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" written in Luke 4: 43 and John 11: 25, 26
are
the guarantee
that
his Worshippers
who
died recently and thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's Followers and disciples, and many others
will
all be RESURRECTED back to life in the right and proper time so they can peacefully, happily, and abundantly live and exist on earth forever as citizens and subjects of the "KINGDOM of GOD" or His Kingdom
and fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, goodness, generosities, compassions, favors, and blessings for eternity
under the loving and kind rulership, guidance, and protection of his Christ as his Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth as written in Revelation 11: 15.
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye
How about in English?
@@METVWETV that is English
We don't judge people for that is God's job. But we do judge sin for what it is. Why be chained with something that is in critical crosshairs of justified judgment.
With respect to judging others, the Scriptures are clear.
"Judge not, that ye be not judged." Matthew 7:1
"Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way." Romans 14:13
"For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:" John 5:22
The Father has committed ALL judgment to the Son.
In Matthew 7:1-2, the word judge is used in the sense of condemnation, this is evident from the parallel record in Luke 6:37.
This shows, not only that those who judge others condemn themselves, as stated by Paul, but also that those who do not condemn others will not be condemned.
It is also equally important to understand that this is the judgment of the person, not the deed or the actions of the person.
If I have just witnessed someone commit an offense against the Law, then it is my duty to correct them and to show them the error of their ways. In doing this I do not judge the person, but only their actions or deeds. I do not judge them, for there is only one judge, and that is Christ.
This idea is not readily understood, nor accepted by mainstream Christendom, for many say that they have the right to judge others righteously, but in that, they are confused.

Very old English!
Funny, i was expecting something like,
This isith English thou foolish man who sendith scathing remarks thusly from thy magic box!
Like flaming arrows from a castle high on yonder hill!
Seeth how sillyest it sounded to thine ear, fair maiden?!
so well put thank you
Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me
There's wonder working power in following Kingdom principles on giving and tithing. Hallelujah!
But then, how do you get all that in that period of time? What is it you do please, mind sharing?
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Big thanks to Ms. Susan Jane Christy❤️✨💯May God bless Susan Christy services,she have changed thousands of lives globally
How can I start this digital market, any guidelines and how can I reach out to her?
There's a difference between judgement and discernment...
Most people who make that accusation don't know what that difference actually is.
Some excellent Scriptures for those that twist Matthew 7:1.
Who claim Christians are not to judge
John 7:24
Judge with a righteousness judgment.
Judge all things
1 Corinthians 2:15-16
Judge sin within the church.
1 Corinthians 6:5
Judge matters between brethren.
1 Corinthians 14:29
Judge Preaching
2 Corinthians 11:1-4
Judge false spirits and those who preach counterfeit gospels and false gospels.
Ephesians 5:11
Judge the works and workers of darkness.
2 Pete 2, 1 John 4:4, Revelation 2:2
Judge false prophets and false apostles.
1 John 2:18-20
Judge false Christians among us..
Well documented Leslie. I'd like to add Romans 16:17 KJV Mark & Avoid those teaching false doctrines.
Frank...u kno I love ya ...remember we r not of this world...we r of the kingdom of God ...thus humility is the start of knowledge...and we correction in love ...remember the only Commandment that say remember
Now this is an eye opener.
I also heard that phrase or used that verse many times among the woke and lgbtq advocates and ideologues. I'm not gonna fault them if they read the bible or that verse in a way that they just read a newspaper or other books without doing proper hermeneutics. Due to confirmation bias we tend to look and read the bible and interpret it based on what we want to and just dismiss its context, origin, historical setting and intended meaning.
I hope and pray that they will come to the true knowledge of God so that they may open their eyes and accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour so that they will break free from the bondage of sin and death.😊
lol… I’ve said that to people… why are you judging me for judging? But, in reality, I’m pointing out clear crimes that even atheists or most people would object to.
Like Murdering the Unborn or opening our borders and Not protecting the Citizenry?
I've seen people spread memes around that say, "Judge me when you are perfect." Which I find interesting, since those who say this have zero qualms about judging others.
What does this tell you about what they think about themselves?
In the manner that you judge, so shall you be judged. Judge fairly and you will be judged fairly, Judge harshly and you will be judged harshly.
JOHN 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
halleluY𝛼HWΩH
Jesus also said that we will know others by their "fruits". That means we are supposed to be "fruit" inspectors, which requires us to judge. The thing is, before we judge someone, we need all of the facts, in order that we can rightly judge someone. If I see a pastor walking into a bar, and I go around saying that he's a drunk, that is a snap judgement and is to be condemned. You don't know why he's gone into a bar. He may very well need to use a phone, someone may have called him to come help them, etc. Know the facts first, before opening your mouth and spread false information.
I believe Jesus was actually saying, “Do not condemn! For when you do, you are using your own personal standard of judgment {that you can’t even live up to} instead of judging with righteous judgment.” When we use righteous judgment, we are discerning that there is an issue of ungodliness, and our recourse is to “turn a sinner {who has wandered from the truth} from the error of his way.” (Jas. 5:19-20)
Finally:
“I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler-not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.” (1 Cor. 5:9-13)
We have to make judgments. How else can we know when to come to the spiritual aid of a brother who has wanted from the faith?
Hi. Good point Frank. A half-truth is no truth, especially when taken out of context. Cheers, P.R.
I find it mildly annoying when someone says "don't judge me" when pointing out a bad behavior. I usually don't even think of it as a judgement per se, but more of just a way of trying to help someone by pointing out a bad behavior they would be better off correcting themselves. When I think of a judgement, I think of it as more along the lines as someone correcting/punishing someone else for a confirmed illegal behavior, à la what an actual judge does.
Lots of verses of rebuking in the old testament Judge but do it wisely and with love
1 Corinthians 11:28-32 NIV
Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. [29] For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. [30] That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. [31] But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. [32] Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.
True, Jesus said, “Do not judge me,” but what would you do if you stood before Muhammad? He did not say, “Do not judge anyone ever.” He said,do not Support injustice. Sorry I made a mistake in writing😳
Man these thumbnails are getting better and better 😂
Great thumbnail! 😂 And content 👏🏻
Link to full sermon?
Ty Dr Frank
Discernment = not to judge, but, to judge well…
To ad to that perfect delivery, I would also say, We were allowed to see the Truth, because we are seeking him But it's God's Truth, and we are just sharing His judgement.
Jesus is coming back in Judgement, 1st time was grace and the suffering servant, but when he comes back he will defeat Israel's enemies, and all who believe in him shall not perish, So repent, Because that's part of believing in him.
Salvation is a free gift of God, but a True believer will walk in the faith to the best of their ability, even though we are not perfect, we will pray and seek after his righteousness ❤ 🙏
Jesus bless you.
I always tell people who say this, to finish the entire quote and then have to explain it to them. Jesus is telling us that we cannot help another person, while doing what they are doing because it is futile. We must first admit and repent of our own sins that we may begin to help another with theirs. You cannot help someone overcome something unless you yourself have already gone through the same thing. I actually had someone come back and say that is not what Jesus meant. They actually claimed that Jesus was telling them to remove an actual 'log,' from their eyes.
could any one tell me where this church is located, it looks awesome
Jesus said: "Do not judge, or you too will be judged". What does it mean? Many people think that it means: "avoid judging". This is NOT what it means. This is a call for the RIGHT judgement. If you are capable of the RIGHT judgement, and you can apply that judgement to YOURSELF too, then you CAN judge, and you even SHOULD judge. Thus, for a person of high integrity, judging is natural. People who insist on "avoiding judging", often have a lot to hide. That means that they are very sinful, and want to avoid judgement and punishment.
" Your judgment that what God calls wrong is now right is what I reject!"
"Right and wrong" are words that are relative to the actualization of a desired goal or outcome, absent said goal, the terms right and wrong become meaningless.
My "goal" is the actualization of a healthy flourishing coperative society based upon our common desires with respect to wellbeing and the values it incorporates, empathy, respect, equality, altruism, reciprocity. That is why one "ought" to treat another's as you would like to be treated, One "ought not steal if you wish to live in a society were property is not stolen. One "OUGHT" not murder if they want to live in a society were people are not murdered. This is our "reference point" or standard.
One "should" or "ought" do something if Its conducive with the actualisation of a situation that conforms with one's goals and values. These "values" themselves are subjective by definition however it is entirely possible to make Objective declarations or decisions 'Within a pre-agreed framework of subjective values'.
*What is your "goal" and why 'OUGHT' one do what your subjective God desires* ?? 🙄🤔
@@trumpbellend6717 There is no right or wrong in your Godless world! The Godless can never claim to have been wronged. Only weak. Robbed? You were too weak to keep what you have! Raped? You were too weak to control your body! Killed? You were too weak to live! In your Godless world, Darwin rules
The most misquoted part of the Bible is “thou shall not murder” being misread as thou shall not kill. Big big difference.
Well said!
Just a comment about the verse numbering.
Without the reference number we would have to become a lot more familiar with the Scripture.
In Luke 4 (that's a reference) Jesus has a scroll handed to Him and He opens it right where He needed to read from.
In Luke 20 (another reference) Jesus refers to the "Burning bush account".
We need to become familiar with the Scriptures, just as Jesus is.
That said, I obviously use references.
In context it is referencing one who claims to be a fellow believer.not someone who is lost. It is one believer calling out another believer when they see behavior that is unworthy of the walk of a Christian. Sinfully behavior destroys your witness. And gives unbelievers a rock to throw and an excuse. So the rub is do you keep your mouth shut because they will get mad because they have been exposed or do you say something and still get mad because they have been exposed.
Easy,
I follow Jesus.
Amen ❤
A judge casts a sentence, pointing out a wrong doing isn't judging
Speak the truth with love...
The thumbnail is fantastic 😂😂😂
Lady I was talking to this was the only verse she seemed to know. And it was always in defense of sinful things
People try to use this as a cop out to not get called out. Everyone makes hundreds of judgments everyday.
Judging someone to be "judgmental" is patently hypocritical. So if they really believe what they're saying, they should keep their mouth shut, just as they are demanding of you.
I have sections memorized and this is one of them. Not intentionally but just from habitual study it stuck. When someone one pulls Matthew 7 I just quote the passage and take them through it verse by verse.
