"Judge not lest you be judged." Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:1)
It seems that everyone knows this verse, even before John 3:16 in many cases. A person is usually met with this argument when they go to someone they care about and are concerned about their eternal life. However, Jesus Christ also said, "Judge not according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." (John 7:24) Does the Lord contradict Himself or do the people that use the "Judge not" argument take the verse out of its context? Watch this video, and, well, use righteous judgment to find out.
This is part of a documentary called Hell's Bells 2 by The Apologetics Group. This DVD can be purchased in its entirety either from their official website.
John MacArthur speaks about judging
Of all the verses in the Bible, the one almost everyone can quote is Matthew 7:1, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Does that mean we are not suppose to judge the sin of others? Would that really be an appropriate position for Christians to take, or does the scripture mean something different? Dr. James Merritt takes on this misunderstood verse which he calls "The World's Favorite Scripture".
