And who are you to judge

@@diananimusiima6848 Please read your bible prior to speaking because you have done so ignorantly. The bible very plainly instructs Christians to "judge" among the brethren with the only requirements being that the persons doing the judging not be a hypocrite and to first remove the "beam" out of their own eye before judging. The entire 18th chapter of Matthew is Christ showing exactly how these judgments of "brethren" are to occur. Also, in Matthew chapter 7, which says "judge not that ye be not judged", is simply a warning given to "hypocrites" within the church not to judge "prior" to removing that beam which is in their own eye. He wasn't telling the church not to judge among the brethren but to not allow the "hypocrite" to do so! Secondly, neither Christ nor Paul (nor any other Apostle) ever taught that judging was wrong, but only that their judgements be a "righteous" judgements. In fact, the Apostle Paul went about the church constantly judging the saints even going as far to turn them over to Satan for death and taught the people to do the same! Does the body not judge itself? Yes, it does (or at least its suppose to). And if we the church are one body and members one of another then we should judge ourselves as members among the body, for if we would judge ourselves, we shall not be judged, but when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord (not judged of the Lord, but chastened) for we are judged by one another as evident in Matthew chapter 18. Moreover, Christ, when speaking of "cutting-off" a "member" of the body because it was offending the rest by its continuation of sin, taught that that member should be "cut-off" (which is an Old Testament term for killing any person who refused to repent of their sin-AND NO, I'M NOT SPEAKING OF SHOOTING, STABBING OR PISONING ANYONE) It means to do exactly what Paul instructed the Church to do when he said to "turn that man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh so that the spirit my be saved in the day of the Lord" and is what Christ was speaking of when he stated to cut-off any member of the "body" which offended the rest of the body meaning, anyone in the body refusing repent is to be judged by the Church which is outlined in Matthew chapter 18. Our judging sin among those refusing to do it themselves is nothing more than the Church acting out its responsibilities in the keeping of Matthew chapter 18! Its a righteous judgment upon those who refuse to repent! That is why Christ stated that he himself would be present so as to carry out the punishment. Or, the church can also turn such a one over to Satan to be killed by him which is the body judging itself in righteousness. Imagine if the Church were to dare and believe all that the scriptures have spoken and actually do this? The Church would be without spot and wrinkle and without blemish. This my friend, is exactly why the Two Witnesses of Revelation arrive and do what they do. They have come to judge; for it is written, that the hands of the two-witness must "first be upon the guilty". So please, stop trying to instruct people in the things of God when it is clearly evident that you yourself are ignorant of the things of God. Have a blessed day.
