A Verse That's Twisted Among The Nations

[GlidingWings]

There is a clever thing Satan is doing in them last days such as these the kind of subtleness to convince people to not reason with God. And even this is not only happening in the World but also in the Churches.

The famous scripture that many people know even many who don’t read the Bible. Jesus says in Matthew 7. Do not judge or you will be judged. By The measure that you judged you will be judged in that matter. Upon this very verse in the Bible is a growing number of people who can say I can live this way or I can say whatever I want to say. They will say. Don’t judge me for what I have done. Even God has said you are not to do so. Well recently in an interview Michelle Bachman gave her view on the lifestyle of Homosexuality. She said something like it was a psychological disorder and one would need counseling for help. The media and many were not happy about her response. She wants to trust in God. This is not an act God approves of. But people are saying you Christians are a bunch of Bigots and Liars. How dare you judge us. Let us show you what your God says. Do not judge or you will be judge. . They are trying to trap you into this scripture of the Bible to try to keep yourself quiet.

This Bible verse has been used by such as Gene Simmons that at one of their Rock concerts people got killed by running over one another. He claimed but I did not tell them to do that. But he knows that he has stirred up the crowd and shows no remorse of the loss of lives. Don’t be surprised if anyone were to visit a site online that has anything to do with Satan. Those who are pro satanic can use this verse against a Christian.

Churches are melding into multi belief systems because of this verse. How can we judge them who are not like us? After all God told us not to. So let’s join together as one Church adapting too many kinds of belief systems.

Jesus tells us in the Bible there will be a falling away from the faith. They were deceived by other doctrines. But please be aware this is a great misunderstanding about this verse. Certainly the Lord does not want us playing God passing judgment on others. But we also need to know that God has given us what is called evaluation. Evaluation is a type of judgment of discerning the difference between right and wrong. Jesus tells us in the Bible that He is not of this World or of this Kingdom. Jesus did not live for the World.

In that same likewise Jesus tells us to do the same that we are not to live by the World. But Matthew chapter 4 man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. God is not a compromiser. He will not exchange good for evil or evil for good.

Have you seen others using this verse against you or others? What kind of teachings or beliefs were they trying to support that you should accept? What kinds of things do you see in the World today telling us not to judge or we will be judge? Or what things have you seen in the Church that is taking place that is telling people we must accept or we are being judgmental against others. Let’s talk about this issue about other people living any way they want telling us we are being judgmental on them and telling us that we need to accept their ways. Tell us that we are not kind people because we don’t believe in those ways or live in those ways.

To actually know Bible prophecy is to see it for yourself. So to discuss these things is showing us the fulfillments of what God told us what would be. Jesus said “Take heed that no once deceives you. To take heed means to watch very closely. Observe and understand but not to reason with our own heart but by trusting in the Word of God to guide us how to evaluate these things. Quoting prophecy or any scripture alone will not convince others you will need to witness to. Use this as practice in what kind of things in how you would witness to others about this so called judge or be not judged verse. How it is used and how we as Christians should learn to evaluate in discerning that is not the kind of judgment as the same as the judgment Jesus spoke about. What is your say on these things?

I have been trying for some time to get people to see the meaning of the verse.... Discernment !!! We are to discern all things, rather of God or NOT of God.... It does not mean we sit behind the judges desk and bang the gaval, and say *guilty as charged*.... People have taken words and made new meanings to fit their own agenda.... I am blasted by un-believers as well as believers, young and old alike, for saying that.... I can't believe how many are so decieved....

People of all walks of life must make daily judgments, choices and discernments, I can't believe they put us in some kind of vortex of hate for doing the same thing.... *sigh*.....

The verse of * judge least ye be judged* is the MOST abused one in Bible......

It seems that this verse is used by people when they know they are in the wrong and this is their only defense. If they indeed felt justified they could find a reason why. Even Satan knows scripture. I see this verse as meaning not to judge of anothers salvation , for we are all sinful. One moment before death a soul can be saved. A lost soul today, a brother or sister tomorrow..Praise the Lord....

I do agree its over abused yet we are to judge one another in love, and we are to use His laws, statues and judgments as the rules to judge by, that is what God is going to use to judge us. People tend to mix secular reasoning in with His reasoning also. I can say with great certainty that God does not like sin, despises it in any form, and I can say that He does condemn homosexuality just as much as He does adultery. We can tell a person who is doing either they are sinning but we are not to condemn the person, we do not pass judgment as God will do, we point out the error of their ways show them in scriptures and then let God handle the rest.

shalom,

[Moses10]

Judge not according to the appearrance, but judge righteous judgement. John 7:24

So as a teacher from school one said, people say we are to follow the Bible, which is true, but she says the Bible says Judas hanged himself, that doesn't mean we go do the same. Righteous judgement is always done in love (James 2:8-13; Romans 14:13), by the power of the Spirit (I Corinthians 2:15).
