What Does Judge Not? (4 of 5)
Series: The Bible Doesn't Say That
Josh Malone
Matthew 7:1-6
We are in a series called ''The Bible Doesn't Say That.'' - There are some things that get treated as Scripture when the Bible doesn't teach that. Today we are looking at a quote that is in the Bible, but is misunderstood and not applied in line with the context of the quote.
Maybe you've heard this one... Someone says, something is wrong, or a sin... and someone says... ''Christian's aren't supposed to judge!'' Ever heard that one?
Some people seem to think that Jesus taught his disciples that they/we should never call right-right and wrong-wrong. That know real judgment should be rendered on any behavior or moral choice. People have been misusing this quote for YEARS in our culture.

Isn't that true? - People used to say you don't talk about politics or religion...
Religion is held to be private by many even though at times someone says they hold to a religion and their morals, values, their behavior doesn't line up with the teachings of that religion... well, don't point that out... judge not!
Morality has increasingly been seen as relative by many in our culture. The standard for right and wrong has become cultural consensus of those with the most cultural power... in other words... politicians/government, the media, progressive universities, Hollywood, large corporations and Big Tech ... those shaping culture... what do they say is right and wrong? What is the biggest sin to them?
Are we supposed to judge? What did Jesus mean by judge not?
Matthew 7:1-6 - ''Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why d ...
