Matthew 7:1-5 Jesus Tells Us Not To Judge

What are you your thoughts on this particular section?

I'm not sure what definition to use for judge. I believe I had heard a definition at one point that made tremendous sense, it is to decide who is more important than whom. The reasons it makes sense are that it leads to unhappiness and strife.

Unhappiness because once you start to judge the beggar, the chances you'll find someone who's "better" than you are astronomically high, this also leads to envy. Who is more important really? The peasant or the king? Each has it's place, food is vitally important and a military is vitally important. The world works best when these people work together. So while the king makes more decisions on an individual level, they need each other.

Strife because if you think you're inherently better than someone you might treat them like dirt, which leads to friction and conflict. I mean think about it, if you and yours are superior you tend to look down on other people. Hitler believed the Germans were superior and they got into quite the fight with the world. The biggest war in human history I believe.

Jesus doesn't actually tell us not to judge, but cautions us to judge carefully because we will be judged as we judge. It is akin to reaping and sowing. We are to be careful how we sow, knowing we will reap what we sow.

Every word a seed
To feed those with great need
Avoiding those with greed
Who might tempt and then mislead

“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:36-37‬ ‭

“But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, And every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:10-13‬ ‭

theres only one judge we all have to see him for what we ourselves do not what anyone else does . We’re only accountable for our own judgements and deeds and have no place passing any judgement in those Jesus died and rose for

“And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭10:42‬ ‭KJV‬‬

we’re taught to make good judgements about what we do

never taught to judge anyone else in any way taught to judge matters not people

Jesus doesn't actually tell us not to judge, but cautions us to judge carefully because we will be judged as we judge. It is akin to reaping and sowing. We are to be careful how we sow, knowing we will reap what we sow.

Unforgiveness also is a form of judgement on a other

! Corinthians 5:12---Paul is speaking here -----
Amplified Bible
For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)? Do you not judge
those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]?

Read Jesus' own explanation in the parallel passage, Luke 6:37, “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven." Judging means condemning; discerning means to determine what is sin in order to avoid it in our own lives. Judging means looking down your nose at these inferior humans that aren't as good as you are. We're all sinners.
