JUDGE NOT!! (Intro)

Matthew 7:1-5 1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

I have spoken to multiple people over the past few weeks about why they don’t want to go to church. I can honestly say that at this point in my talks that the number 1 issue people have with going to church is the judgment placed on them by people that claim to be Christians. I am going to split this post into parts to cover different perspectives on this so that there is not so much to digest at one time. The fact is that there are rights and wrongs on both sides of this fence so I am going to try to approach both of them in a way that we might be able to see a good way to change the way the church is looked at but, also in a way that teaches people not to use people's actions as an excuse not to have a relationship with God.

God Bless!!
