@curiousdannii are you quoting me or something else? :)
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. (Matthew 7:1-5)
@DanAndrews Also relevant: "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment" (John 7:24). Clearly Jesus did not mean that we should never judge anyone or anything.
@TRiG Looks like TRiG can unleash snark at times, too . . . :-P
@LeeWoofenden I agree to an extent. I believe Matthew is more about being hypocritical in in your judgement. For example, don't complain about my tattoo if you smoke cigarettes. Don't complain about my profanity while you have lustful thoughts for my wife (ok, that dress was a little tight, but come on!) / or another women / wife / etc
Almost all Christians I know, which includes pastors / clergy, are hypocritical in their judgement of others. "Love one another" is something that is taken less seriously.
