\u201cCorrection is not judgment, as the Bible says that we should correct, rebuke and be bold to those who are sinning.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Actually, this is not<\/strong> entirely true, my dear, for it is not \u201cthe Bible\u201d that tells us to rebuke the sinners in our lives, but rather Paul<\/em> who frequently does so (see 1 Corinthians 5:3, where he \u201cjudges\u201d fornicators; using the same Greek word found in Matthew 7:1, where Jesus forbids<\/em><\/strong> us to engage in such judging!) \u2026 As it turns out, the Bible \u2013 especially via the words of Jesus Christ \u2013 also<\/strong> tells us that we are to keep our mouths shut & our Hearts open when dealing with our fellow sinners.\u00a0 The two theologies, quite obviously, do not mix, and Christians must choose one or the other \u2026 Frankly, I would humbly recommend choosing to follow Jesus, but maybe that\u2019s just me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDo not judge<\/em><\/strong>, so that you may not be judged \u2026 Why do you see the speck in your neighbor\u2019s eye, but do not notice the log in your own? … You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye<\/em><\/strong>, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your neighbor\u2019s … You judge by human standards; I judge no one<\/em><\/strong> \u2026 Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever becomes humble<\/em><\/strong> like this young child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven \u2026 All who exalt<\/em><\/strong> themselves will be humbled<\/em><\/strong>, and all who humble themselves will be exalted \u2026 You hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup [of others], but inside are full of greed and self-indulgence … First clean the inside of your own cup<\/em><\/strong>, so that the outside might also become truly clean \u2026 Let [she] who is without sin cast the first stone<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d ~ Jesus<\/strong> Christ (Matthew 7:1-5, John 8:15, Matthew 18:3-4, Luke 18:14, Matthew 23:25-26 & John 8:7)<\/p>\n
