Are we not to judge?
All those babies killed by Hamas terrorists? Don’t judge them. The Bible says, “Do not judge.” So there you go. What’s for dinner?
One of the “Vote Yes” on Ohio Issue 1 TV ads features a “pastor” citing Matthew 7:1 in defense of killing babies by abortion. And every time I see it I want to reach in, put my hands around his neck and throttle him. “Do not judge,” I’d tell him when he accuses me of assault.
If a man kidnapped and raped this pastor’s daughter, would he decline to judge him? If he caught his secretary embezzling church funds would he not judge her theft as sin? If his neighbor tore down the pastor’s pride flag and replaced it with one that says, “God hates fags,” would he remind himself that Jesus said, “Do not judge”?
I think not.
Don’t fall for this hypocritical, unbiblical nonsense that we are not to judge right from wrong. Damn these people who cite Jesus’ words in defense of killing innocent children. And damned they will be if they do not repent.
When they stand before the Judge of all the world and he calls them to account for condoning the wholesale slaughter of innocent lives in the womb, will they say to him, “But you said, ‘Do not judge’”? He will say to them, “Who are you to sanction the murder of innocent children whom I created in my image?”
I’d like to see them try and defend their morally bankrupt ideology before a holy and righteous God. But they will not even be able to speak.
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.
Revelation 20:11-12
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment. – Jesus
John 7:24





It never ceases to amaze me when people try to silence us with Matthew 7:1. My standard response is, “Would you mind reading the rest of the passage? There are a few more verses behind it.”

Yes. Just ask them what they think Jesus meant by that. And make them back it up with the surrounding verses in context.

Exactly. We can’t determine who the dogs, swine, and false prophets are without exercising judgement. This means that His obvious intent was to caution is against being judgemental and hypocritical in our judgement.
