I feel I could've easily said what you just said about the verse I shared from John. I understand that the dynamics of the original languages used causes some words to have more than one meaning, but what I do not understand is how "judge not lest you be judged" is the same as "don't judge". It sure looks more like "the consequence of judgement is judgement"
Hey have you been judged yet, are you guilty of sin any sin ever? Has God by the cross of Son forgiven you? Have you received this forgiveness completed?
So today how shall one respond to this amazing grace given to us all through Son?
Judging others, condemning others, not show Mercy to others, when Mercy has been shown and given to those that Believe God as a whole not bits and pieces of a broken mirror.
God loved me so much and all the world that he went to the death, burial, resurrection and ascension to give us new life in Love God's type as he so well demonstrated to all while he walked here on earth in the flesh. He as I see it did no condemning to anyone, he only spoke truth as led, and the peoples own conscience did their own convicting
Therefore:
2 Corinthians 10:6 and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your
obedience is fulfilled.
