"Judge not, lest ye be judged(Mat 7:1)," as if that is supposed to shut up everything. " Judge not, least ye be judged," in context, is speaking of a person who is living as a hypocrite. For example, if someone was living in adultery, he should not judge another person doing the same exact thing, and the word judge is also a harsh condemnation of such an act, taken from the Greek language. So one person who has just committed adultery could go and advise another person not to commit adultery and tell him of the horrible consequences if he did. It's a warning so to speak, not a condemnation. So next time a person is about to jump into a shark infested water and another dude says "Don't jump in dude, you're going to get ate up stupid!" Why don't you just say "Don't judge him, you don't know him!" That's retarded right!" But if a dude who just committed adultery yesterday and sees a guy commit it today and says "you evil man, you're going to hell, I cant believe you did that to your wife." Then that guy is wrong.... If we cannot judge, then how could we ever say what Hitler was wrong in killing 6 million Jews? We would have no standard, no morals. The only way we can say Hitler was wrong is because God said not to, Likewise, if God said you must do this, this and this to be saved and as a result, this, this and this would happen if you are born again, then by the very same principle all Christians say to the unregenerate, or (ones not born again) that they are wrong, using scripture as their authority, when these things aren't happening or aren't apparent, and as a result are headed for Hell. God also said not to throw pearls before swine (or pigs) only 5 verses down from this judge not verse in Matthew 7:6! Which basically means don't try to give the jewels of the life giving words of the gospel to pigs who will just trample all over them and dirty them in the mud and then attack and maybe trample the person trying to give it. Well, why would God tell us this if we were not allowed to judge. How then would we ever know who not to throw the pearls to. You'd have to judge in order to know who the piggies are. One needs to understand that when they say someone else is being judgmental, they, in that very statement are being judgmental of the person who made a judgment. You see, there is no way around judging things and people. We do it all the time. A few verses down in Matt 7:15, God says to beware of false prophets. We have to judge who is a false prophet and who is not if we are going to heed this warning. Check Luke 7:43 and the Lord Jesus said unto him: "Thou hast rightly judged." Luke 12:57 "Why do you not of yourselves judge what is right?" John 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." 1Cor.2: 15-16 "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." Anyway, there are many other passages that show that judging is not the issue, but whether the judgment is correct or not. This is known by whether it is in line with scripture.
@1tmoch come on, if it's not obvious to you...... I am afraid you might be one of them. I refuse to get dragged in to a debate that is so absurdly ridiculous that I would grow dumber if I partook in it.

@jenny13579 It's too late for you i'm afraid. That sort of cop out answer is highly indicative of an un-educated moron who is timid to have that fact noticed over and over to all reading. You're probably an atheist (all are morons).
