Of course everyone who knows the bible knows you are wrong , The statement is talking about hypocrisy, Jesus is saying that If we cannot hold to the standard we use, we have no business applying that standard to others. It means that I can judge you on the specific issues that I'm talking about because I don't do the things that I'm charging you and your type of people with. also Jesus wants us to help these people that we're judging. . It is explained and clearly defined later in (7:3, 5) “Why do you see the splinter in your brother’s eye but do not notice the log in your own eye? … You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.” Yes your right about being able to understand the bible but in doing so you can't exclude whats written before and after the specific statement . especially as in this case it is defining the statement.Since you have been here less than a month, you have no idea what I know. Not only do I not always go after you, I have no idea who you are, #81posts.
As for using scripture, I am in good company. It's what Jesus clubbed Lucifer with.
I don't want to stifle you, and do not have to agree with you.
There is a whole Biblical theme on judgment. Who has the right, who does not, the standard of measurement, consequences attached..
Scripture means exactly what it says, and can be understood by whomever reads it. It does not get much more plain or direct than, "Judge not, lest ye be judged". A five year old could tell you what that means. Before you judge Jeremiah, tending to your own eye just might be good advice to consider since you have no idea who she is either...
The idea isn't to stifle one another it is to lift each other up. That's kind of hard where you're yelling at everybody. Stop that.
To repeat myself" His comment on judgment is in no way a solution for you to stifle what I say and it doesn't take away me telling You that you are wrong" You should have let it sit, knowing that you don't know what your talking about. Instead of having always to be right and taken your interpretation to the extreme and being mindless.
