Thou Shalt Not Judge?

“Thou shalt not judge” This is people’s favorite Scripture in the whole Bible
…to the Unbelievers as well as to the Believers. They love this Scripture! They
worship this Scripture! They sing themselves to sleep with it at night, “Thou
shalt not judge! La, la, la…” It’s the only Scripture many people actually memorize! Ha!
They quote it every time they are challenged or convicted or  told the truth or
caught in a sin! “Thou shalt not judge! Thou shalt not judge,” they nervously cry out!
What a lie! Jesus is NOT talking about judging people, but about “Hypocrite Judging.”
He says, “Do not judge” and then he says, “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? How can
you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there
is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and
then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.[Mt.7:1-5]. Notice,
“You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye and then remove the speck from your
brother’s eye.” Jesus is condemning “Hypocrite Judging.” Not judging!! In fact, Jesus
commanded us to judge! He says, “Make a RIGHT judgment.”[Jn.7:24].

We are to first take the “junk” out of our own eye and then help others get the “junk”
out of their eyes. We are commanded to “Expose and convict with shame” the deeds of
darkness![Eph.5:11 Greek]. If someone sins we are commanded to, “INTENSELY REBUKE &
CHARGE him with FAULT.”[Lk.17:3]. We are told to “Expose, convict with shame and CUT”
those in the wrong![Titus 1:13 Greek]. WOW! Cut? Yes! Cut! We are told, “Speak the truth
in love.”[Eph. 4:15]. Because ‘The TRUTH SETS PEOPLE FREE!!’[Jn. 8:32]. And we are to
“DO EVERYTHING in LOVE.”[1 Cor.16:14]. Because without love we are nothing.[1 Cor.13:1-3]

It is amazing…I have never, ever heard this Scripture used, “Make a right judgment.”
I only hear people perverting God’s Word to protect their sin, blabbing, “Thou shalt not
judge! Thou shalt not judge!” I hear them whimpering as they hide their ugly shame,
twisted darkness and filthy lust, “Thou shalt not judge! Thou shalt not judge!”
I hear Sissy’s squealing, “Thou shalt not judge! Thou shalt not judge!” What a weak lie
…what a cheap excuse! The truth sets people free! Not a candy-coated, sugar-filled,
sweet smelling, unoffensive, people pleasing, watered-down, nice and soft half truth!
The truth sets people free!! The truth sets people free!! The TRUTH sets people free!!
Jesus condemned “Hypocritical Judging”…but he commanded, “Make a RIGHT JUDGMENT.”
Made out of 100% love! Love! Love! Tell the truth that will set people free!!
Make a right judgment…in love!!
