#judge not

Many churches do charitable work. In my area, the homeless shelter could not operate without the support of local faith communities - including Jews and Muslims.

Fewer people participating in church means fewer people doing that charitable work. If the need is going to be served, more non-religious organizations will have to serve it.

I'm all for taxing churches. I'm also all for taxing the rich and investing that money in social programs that help those in need.

Judge not, that you be not judged.  For with the judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the  measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Verse of the Day - Matthew 7:1-2 (ESV)

It is very important that we should understand just how Jesus did treat [the sinner]. It is easy to draw the wrong lesson altogether and to gain the impression that Jesus forgave lightly and easily, as if the sin did not matter. [In truth, however, He did not effectively] abandon judgment and say, "Don't worry; it's quite all right." [He never pretended that sin had no consequence, or that it did no harm. Rather, in both mercy and justice,] what He did was, as it were, to defer sentence. He said, "I am not going to pass a final judgment now [for I do not wish to lose you to sin; therefore,] go and prove that you can do better. [Yes,] you have sinned; [but] go and sin no more, and I'll help you all the time. At the end of [your efforts] we will, [together,] see how you have lived." [Always,] Jesus' attitude to the sinner involved [a] second chance. It is as if Jesus said to [each hurting soul]: "I know you have made a mess of things; but life is not finished yet; I am giving you another chance, the chance to redeem yourself, [for that is what I truly wish for you]." ...In Jesus there is the gospel of the second chance. He was always intensely interested, not only in what a person had been, but also in what a person could be. He did not say that what they had done did not matter– broken laws and broken hearts always matter– but He was sure that every man has a future as well as a past, [and He strove to lovingly yet firmly draw every sin-wounded soul into that healing hope with Him.] He did not say: "It's all right; don't worry; just go on as you are doing." He said: "It's all wrong, [but it can change]; go out and fight; change your life from top to bottom; go, and sin no more." Here was no easy forgiveness; here was a challenge which pointed a sinner to heights of goodness of which [they] had never dreamed, [while graciously giving, in Himself, the vital strength & encouragement to reach those lofty realities]. Jesus confronts the bad life with the challenge of the good, [and so flings wide the doors of hope. By all this we see that] the amazing, heart-uplifting thing about Him was His belief in men and women. When He was confronted with someone who had gone wrong, He did not say: "You are a wretched and a hopeless creature." He said: "Go, and sin no more." He believed that with His help the sinner has it in him to become the saint. His method was not to blast men with the knowledge-- which they already possessed-- that they were miserable sinners, but to inspire them with the unglimpsed discovery that they were potential saints.

Good Morning!☀

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Luke 6:37

It is all too easy to fall into criticising or condemning others. People can be quick to try to draw you into their criticism of others without giving you the full details or even knowing the full details themselves.

They will boldly say what they would or would not do in a given situation, not understanding that there is almost always more to consider than what they are aware of, that could change how they might respond.

Before joining such conversations we need to remember that we have made mistakes and sinned ourselves. We may not have made the mistake they made, or sinned the way they sinned but we are guilty of other mistakes, other sins. 

Better it is then to steer the conversation towards mercy and forgiveness to the person, unless we we are willing to be measured with the same measure we are measuring others.

Remove the evil person from among yourselves

1 Corinthians 5:12-13 For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the evil person from among yourselves.

We must never allow sin to fester within His house. It's not a loving act to overlook sin and let those who are lost in their sin remain, unchallenged, in His house. This is so important that the apostle Paul gives us a stern command in 1 Corinthians 5:11 by saying: "Do not even eat with such a person." That person is someone who claims to be a Christian but he is not acting like one.

As Christians, we know we must love and care for the lost. If you allow someone to live in sin, when you know "God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent" (Acts 17:30), and you refuse to warn them of their sins, you are not being obedient to Christ and you will be as guilty before God as they are (Ezekiel 3:18-21). No one's sin rubs off you, you must willingly partake in their sins, but if you see them sinning and do not warn them, He will hold you accountable if you say nothing.

It's important to notice that, although we are commanded to judge, we are never commanded to be hateful towards those lost in their sins. As Martyn Lloyd-Jones said, "Our anger must only be against sin; we must never feel angry with the sinner, but only full of sorrow and compassion for him."

One might say, "judge not" (Matthew 7:1) but that person fixates on a single verse (and doesn't even care to read the rest of that chapter) rather than to understand the proper context. The Lord gives us various examples of how we must judge others so we can either help them or avoid them.

The problem when it comes to judging is that we easily see the sins of others, while we often ignore our own. We want to see the best in ourselves or the people we like, while easily seeing the error in everyone else. We must be fair to all, friend and foe alike.

We are indeed commanded to judge. Don't let the "judge not" ignorant Christians keep you from obeying God. Heed His Word that warns us: “Remove the evil person from among yourselves.”

Believe the mystical stuff or not, participation in religious organizations used to give people access to community. A church was like a big extended family that also did charity work. As churches have become more political, those beneficial aspects of participation have become harder for people to get. So they're quitting.

Christian nationalists see their hold on power crumbling, so they're becoming more radical. They're throwing more money at hard right politicians.

People who care about feeding the hungry and healing the sick - the stuff Jesus taught - are finding other ways to serve their neighbors.

It's past time churches started paying taxes.

It was also a first principle with Jesus that our first emotion towards anyone who has made a mistake should be pity. It has been said that the duty of the doctor is "sometimes to heal, often to afford relief, and always to bring consolation." When a person suffering from some ailment is brought to a doctor, he does not regard him with loathing even if he is suffering from a loathsome disease. In fact the physical revulsion which is sometimes inevitable is swallowed up by the great desire to help and to heal. [The former is cold, reactive, animal instinct; the latter is warm, gracious, human choice. Likewise,] when we are confronted with someone who has made a mistake, our first feeling ought to be, not, "I'll have nothing more to do with someone who could act like that," but, "What can I do to help [them]? What can I do to undo the consequences of this mistake [for them and for others]?" Quite simply, we must always extend to others the same compassionate pity we would wish to be extended to ourselves if we were involved in a like situation, [remembering that] the basic difference between Jesus and the [religious elite of His day was] that they wished to condemn; He wished to forgive... Jesus regarded the sinner with pity born of love; the [religious elite] regarded [the sinner] with disgust born of self-righteousness.

Bird identification is so fucked up in a really fun way you can’t understand until you get into it. For example, there is a type of goose called the cackling goose that looks exactly like a Canada goose except smaller and “cuter”. The cackling goose is way, way, more rare in most places than its relatively common cousin, so it’s on tons of birders life lists. Everyone wants to see a cackling (look in any bird ID group to see lots of hopeful people posting petite Canada geese). The two species regularly commingle, so sometimes a flock of those common parking lot birds will have the equivalent of a Pokémon shiny just hanging out in the middle of them.

How ridiculous and fun is that? I can never look at a big group of Canada geese without scrutinizing their ranks for an adorable little extremely rare cutie pie cackling goose. It reminds me a bit of mushroom harvesting minus the risk of death if you get it wrong

#idk if this is universally true but def relevant here in the eastern USA #birding #yes I know the cackling bill is shorter too but realistically that’s hard to judge sometimes #cackling goose #Canada goose #biology #Canadian goose
