Judgement

"Do not judge or you too will be judged.  For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.  Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?  How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eve?"

You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eve and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Matthew 7

"For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it."
John 12:47


When will legalism and personal judgement be erased from the church?  Christians are called to be Christlike.  To follow the ways of Christ and strive to be like him, not to make their own rules and show disdain on those that do not live up to those standards.  Maybe Shane Claiborne is onto something....
