Matthew 7:1 'Judge not, that ye be not judged.'
But what many of these compromisers overlook is the full passage of Matthew 7, which rather than teaching us not to judge, but teaches us how to judge, by not being hypocritical, like the Pharisees and Sadducees in the days of Christ.
Mt 7:1-6
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
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?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Jesus spoke these following words to a hypocritical crowd, who were ready to kill him for breaking the Sabbath by healing a man.
John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
The Bible provides many examples in the Old and New Testaments where men of God judged others righteously, acting as God's tools to announce judgement upon both nations and individuals alike.
Samuel announced judgment on Eli's family and King Saul's kingship, Nathan brought judgement on King David after his adulterous sin with Bathsheba, and Peter judged Ananias and Saphira when they lied about what they gave to the church.
According to Paul, the saints will one day judge both the whole world as well as angels!
1 Cor 6:1-5
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
Jude 1:14-15 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
The Bible clearly gives us to judge, by righteous Godly means.
The 'Judge Not' crowd needs to open their eyes to this truth.
I am completely convinced that Matthew 7:1 does not belong in the Bible whatsoever, because it promotes the damnable heresy that we should not judge anyone.
If we refused to judge anyone for anything, crime would be running rampant all over the place, and people would be left doing whatever abhorrent thing they want without fear of getting judged. For example, let's say a guy raped a young girl out in the street. It would make perfect sense for him to be arrested by the police, and either put in prison for the rest of his life or executed. Now, let's say that there's no one to judge him. Now because this guy has no one to judge him for raping the young girl, he's probably going to do it over, and over, and over again with the same one or other girls, because he doesn't have to be afraid of anyone who could potentially judge him.
So, this begs me the question: why was that verse added to the Bible? Simple: it was added to the Bible in the original languages by corrupt scholars who just wanted to make excuses for their sins because they didn't want to be rebuked. The translators of the KJV didn't know that verse was corrupt, so it was added there. Same with all the other languages in the world that verse was translated to that were not the original languages. Matthew 7:1 is to be utterly rejected, because that is something Jesus would never say. Let's see what the passage it's included in would say without that damnable verse:
"With what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 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? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."
You see, without Matthew 7:1, you get something completely different. Without the heresy that we are not to judge anyone, you just have verses 2-6 which simply refer to Jesus rebuking hypocrisy and not rebuking judgment, and also referring to what happens to people when they judge, but he's not saying to not judge because of those reasons, because there are plenty of other verses in the Bible that heavily contradict this one.
Also, Jesus did not break the Sabbath by healing a man because it was on a Sunday. The Sabbath is on Saturday, and the corrupt Pharisees changed it to Sunday.
