Thank you so much for your insight, Andrew. You’ve given me a lot to ponder. 🙂

I enjoy reading your posts.

I usually hear it focused on the first sentence in Matthew 7, that we should not judge. But the last part of that same sentence makes the true point. Of course, we do have to “judge”- but we judge for ourselves, not for God. Not to mention we are allowed to have and act on our own opinions of things. And that is scriptural, as you mentioned from the other verses. With the measure we measure out, it will be measured out to us. (Luke 6:38) That context was on the opposite scale, in being generous to others, but the scriptures show that it applies for both good and bad. The world likes to believe in a vague concept of “Karma”, but in reality the principal is very scriptural- the way you treat others, is the way you will be treated. This is the very root of the truth stated in the Golden Rule. And it applies with the way that we “judge” as well.
