To judge or not to judge? This seems to be the question of the day for many Christians. There are those that believe any judging of anyone or anything is wrong. This belief is theoretically based on Matthew 7:1. This is a subject that has brought a great schism in the Church. A deeper study of the scripture reveals how this conclusion has been taken out of context and misconstrued. This mantra of the "Do not judge" crowd has been extremely popular with the "new tolerance" teachers of the day. As you read further into Matthew 7, you will find Jesus did not condemn all judging as wrong. This "do not judge" doctrine comes from some bible teachers influenced by the "politically correct" culture that we live in. For too many, there seems to be such a great fear of being called intolerant that all "judging" is cast as evil and unchristian like. This simple study opens up the scriptural reality that we are called to judge and the spirit in which we are to proceed with it.
