Part 1: It’s popularly believed, among the unchurched and the churched, that JESUS was the guy who preached tolerance and nonjudgment. We’re told, “Too much thinking about what is good and true or bad and false develops objectionable adamancy! The good and true side should behave nicey-nice and be the ones adjusting to getting along because they are, well, the good and nice ones.” Huh? Perhaps the now most popular Bible verse and saying of JESUS is Matthew 7:1, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” A staggering majority reach an understanding of this verse as if any other context is not needed. Never mind all the other teachings of JESUS. Never mind the rest of the Bible. Never mind the shameless hypocrisy mindless “nonjudgment” produces, setting its own judgments against itself endlessly. They say, “JESUS said do not judge!” Did HE?...........
